Creative Space: Still Knitting!

This is my creative space! Still knitting away! I'm determined to finish this shawl by the end of next week, as I have many more exciting projects to start! I just adore Ravelry and spend way too much time there looking at patterns and groups. I'm also in love with the website www.earthfaire.com. I'm surely going to have to make a purchase there shortly! I bought the lovely yarn I'm knitting this Lilac Leaves Shawl from Yarn Soft. A fabulous Australian store in W.A.
Check out my swollen arthritic ankles in my gorgeous new gardening shoes! They are a lovely purple (the shoes, not my ankles!), and I have not taken them off since I got them! I've spent many an afternoon sat happily knitting this shawl as the arthritis in my ankles, knees and hips is particularly bad at the moment. I do have to get up every 5 rows or so to stretch and bend!
 This red rose is growing in the midst of my veggie patch quite happily! The colour has brightened my day!:-)


Beetroot is growing in the patch also -although getting eaten by something I see! Golly I love my shoes!

Keep up with the creativity and visit Kirsty!

  8. Oh, my, would they be a pair of 'sloggers' you have on there? I was eyeing off just such a pair today in the garden centre..very tempted.

    Your knitting is looking lovely!

  9. Hello Hello, thanks for commenting on my blog. Nice to meet you. I could get lost here in all your knitting, crochet and garden loveliness and don't get me started on FEET pictures. LOL I suppose as far as shoes go, those ARE pretty cool, I prefer bare feet myself, nothing better than feeling the earth with ones feet. :-) Looking forward to getting to know you. Hugs xoxoxo

  12. Thanks for coming by my little corner of the blogosphere. Sorry to hear your ankles are giving you issues...however, those gardening shoes are the best. I have a pair of blue ones, pink ones and red ones just like that. But I have never seen pretty purply ones before. Now I am going to be on a mission. The knitting is looking mighty good.
