I pulled it out of "timeout" last night and decided to work on it again. I had relegated this sweater to my UFO pile a while back because it became a total slogfest and I just couldn't take the miles of stockinette anymore, but last night - it seemed to have a new appeal.
I finished one Jaywalker and didn't feel like casting on for the second quite yet (I will though!! no SSS for me!) - so I picked up my raglan and started knitting away. I soon remembered why I fell in love with this yarn in the first place. The color is so rich and I love the subtle variagation of the Araucania nature Wool.
I don't know how long this love affair will last - but hopefully I'll be able to add a few more inches before I grow tired of the miles of plain knitting again. I think I can at least get to the point of separating for the sleeves soon.... I hope!!
I don't about where you live - but at my house - the garden is just bursting with color lately. My peonies are about to open, my irises are blooming and everything looks and smells amazing.
Here is my front yard and some details of the flowers that are open right now...
The inner beauty of an iris:
A Parrot tulip:
A bumblebee on my Salvia:
There are ants EVERYWHERE on my peonies - but this is normal!
Purple Iris with Rhododendrum:
My new Clematis will hopefully soon climb up my arbor:

Wow - now I want a garden. Yours is gorgeous!
Good luck getting through a few inches of your sweater... I know *all* about sweater timeout. :D

Welcome back raglan...oh how I love your color!!
Your garden photos look BEAUTIFUL (as usual)!!
Your flowers are amazing - I have a total black thumb, so I envy anyone who can grow a garden.
Gorgeous photos! Geez.....my "garden" is rather self-caring - all bushes, no flowers except some mums and some Japanese mini-irises (that have more weeds than irises at this point!) I'm sooooo jealous!
Beautiful front yard! And pretty flower pictures.
Love the raglan!
Your house looks beautiful!! and so do the flowers!!
The flower pictures are just beautiful. The sweater looks like the perfect vege in-front of the tv project. I love the colours in it.
