The last of the snow thawed a few days ago to reveal hundreds of Snowdrops in my lawn. The sun is shining, the air is kind and it feels quite uplifting. I know it's still February and winter is still lurking ready to bite me one morning but today I'm making the most of it.
I've been busy, planting ten "Wild Edric" rose bushes as a hedge at the bottom of the garden.
This rose is supposed to flower freely over a long period and have a heavy strong musky and clove perfume. They are are also very thorny so I'm hoping it will keep Gracie confined to the garden. Ten bushes sounded a lot before I put them in. They are looking quite sparse, I hope they fill out this year and that I have enough. Some just look like dead sticks stuck in the ground. I'm only waiting for Mark my neighbour to do what ever he is planning then the fencing will be complete.
I also knitted a spring time sock this weekend. It's a thirteen stitch zig zaggy pattern on 78 stitches. The yarn is Schoppel Wolle Admiral Flakes. I like the yarn but I have read some poor reviews on Ravelry. It was quite cheap but such a waste of knitting time if the yarn doesn't stand up.
