Stitching and Knitting and Some Long Awaited Flowers

Hello everybody and welcome to those lovely people who have followed me.

Thank you for the advice on my last post, hopefully it will sort itself out.

I've started my new project and this is what I've done so far:

This stitch is called Arrowhead Fly Stitch.  The variegated thread is very pale but very lovely.

I thought I would show you my knitting too:

This is a sleeve.  The pattern is Leonora by Sarah Hatton.  This project won't grow very fast because I'm a slow knitter!

I'll leave with a few flower shots from my garden.  The first lily has opened it's petals this week:

The first pink rose that clambers over my arbour has bloomed too.  The white roses that climb up the other side are almost ready to bloom too.

I'm hoping for a bit more sun and then perhaps my sweet peas may be persuaded to flower!

Bye bye for now.....
