It's hard to tell wnhat's going on in the garden until summer really gets under way, so every year there's a suspenseful month waiting to see if I've made any progress on getting it to look the way I imagine it might. This year I've made progress, no doubt, although somehoe I can't stop looking at that bare little corner up front and asking myself why I just haven't filled it in...maybe next week.
A bit like this sweater, Drops pattern 129-3 (free and totally worth it). While it didn't take a whole year to find out, I really had no idea whether I would like it, and luckily, I love it.
There was just so much suspense...the new shape....which now that I've got it, I'd like to have in as many colors and fabrics as I can make.
And the fabric...linen is such a mystery. How does it go from that scratchy stiff stuff to such drapy luxury in the time it takes for a wash and dry cycle? Magic.
Like those flowers, coming back year after year just because they want to. Happy summer everyone.

This is "Blue Billow".
