What amazing weather we're having, the sun in shining and the garden is in full bloom, I think June is the best month in our garden.
I love all the colour, I think it's impossible not to be out there and smile with gratitude for how beautiful it all looks.
Thought I'd show you today what's on my needles... sometimes it shouldn't be... look at this cheeky little boy, he often comes and perches on the needles or my fingers, bringing any knitting to an abrupt halt.
I'm currently knitting a cardigan for Zackary. It's age 18 months to 2 years, so will be ideal for the autumn as he is growing at such a rate! I'm using Knit craft 'cotton blend plain' from Hobbycraft, it feels lovely to work with, 50% cotton and 50% acrylic. I'm using Denim and Light Blue and there was quite a few different shades to choose from.
I also have some crochet on the hook too. I don't know if you can tell yet from the shape, but it's going to be a budgie!
I've posted this next picture on Instagram, I absolutely love it. Adam and Holly were going to a wedding and popped in on their way to show us little Zack in his suit. Isn't he a little stunner the little darling with his little dickie bow and quiffed hair, I love this little man so, so much.
As I've been posting dog and budgie photos, I thought I should show off Mitzi too, but she was too shy to turn round for the camera.
Take care

He is adorable and will look wonderful in the color sweater you are making him.
ReplyDeleteBlue does really suit him, it’s going to have little dinosaur spikes too x
DeleteCheryl, your garden looks amazing … so much colour, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a star, and a stunner, Zachary is … ooh, give him a big hug from me. He looks great in that outfit.
Enjoy your week and enjoy this weather, it is amazing :)
All the best Jan
Thank you, I could happily spend all day in the garden, it’s a shame other things have to be done too, lol x
DeleteYour flowers look so colorful and healthy. I love the bird, and your grandson looks adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, the garden is such a joy at the moment, Zackary is always a joy x

Thank you, I know we are a little bias, but he looked so gorgeous in his suit x
DeleteWhat beautiful colors in your garden.
ReplyDeleteZack looks so cute all dressed up.
Doesn’t he just, handsome little prince x
DeleteYour garden is blooming beautifully, Cheryl. All those flowers are so pretty. Doesn't Zackary look gorgeous in his suit and little bow tie; such a gorgeous photo. How cute your little birdie is sitting on your knitting needles. The cardigan is lovely and a crochet budgie....sounds fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThank you, the garden is so wonderful at this time of year, just the place to sit and knit or crochet x
DeleteLittle Zacchary is just so adorable in his suit. ( He's adorable no matter what he's wearing, let's face it).
ReplyDeleteI don't knit or crochet so I'm in awe of those who can turn out sweaters and scarves etc.
Aw thank you, grandchildren are such an amazing joy x
DeleteZach is adorable. And your garden looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much x
DeleteWhat a handsome little chap he is, love the colour yarn. I don't have many flowers in the garden but agree June is a wonderful month.
ReplyDeleteThank you, everything is blooming x
DeleteIt is such beautiful weather at the moment Cheryl and your garden looks gorgeous. A riot of colour!
ReplyDeleteZachary looks a cutie, as always. X
I think it’s so uplifting being out amongst all that colour x
DeleteZachary looks good enough to eat, without salt, as my Granny used to say. The garden looks amazing. Love all the colour.
ReplyDeleteHaha, haven’t heard the ‘without salt’ bit before x
DeleteYour garden looks fabulous, so much colour. It makes all the hard work worthwhile once you see it at it's peak and you're able to sit out and enjoy it. Zack is such a cutie, he looks very grown up in his big boy clothes. It looks like Petey is very tame, are you going to teach him to talk? I remember my granddad having a talking budgie.
ReplyDeletePetey is very tame and we’re really hoping he’ll talk, I keep repeating the same things over and over, just wish it was easier to get him back in his cage x
DeleteSuch a handsome little guy! Your garden looks happy in all it's color. I'm sure it's a favorite spot this time of year.
