One can even see signs of the Indian Cress Black Velvet Tropaeolum majus & Black Peony Paeoniflorum planted in front of everything
I truly enjoy working with yarn from the Opal Hundertwasser edition. Yarn inspired by art, funny, but it works. I have made a pair for myself in the Wartende Hauser (at: February 07, 2007), and now a pair for someone else in Regentag auf Liebe Wellen. I even got a third yarn waiting for me; Die Strasse zum Sozialismus. I mean – just trying to pronounce the names is a serious enterprise!
First sock finished in the beginning of March
The second not until the 10th of May
Fritillaria meleagris, commonly known as the Snakes’s Head (the original English name), and also the Snake’s Head Fritillary, Leper Lily, and Guinea-hen Flower.
I have been planning a new flowerbed in our garden. The plot faces east/south, there can be a bit windy from the east, but it shouldn’t be a problem. My flower combination is inspired from the Danish magazine Isabella.
But first I had to prepare the soil. And – I had to paint the wall behind the flowerbed. In our rebuilding process we seem to have totally overlooked the foundation wall…
And finally – the flowers
Hydrangea bluish/brown/purple in the back corner.
Surrounded by two peony plants (Sara Berhardt & Dr. Alexander Fleming)
Hellebourus, two whietes, one purple.
Autumn Anemones, different kinds pink to purple.
Alchemilla mollis.
I also put some Fritillaria meleagris in the ground.
And I planted seeds for two kinds of summer flowers, Indian Cress Black Velvet Tropaeolum majus & Black Peony Paeoniflorum .
Its spring, I know, but I still need some solid granite grey in my life.
Here represented through a shawl knitted in alpaca and edged by some very thin and fluffy mohair. 
I think I like it – .
KPPPM + alpaca silk – feels lovely to the skin.
The color variation of KPPPM makes the process of knitting quite exciting, so I guess;
I will be chevron’ing again …
soon!
