World Wide Knit in Public Day

Today, I went to San Mateo's Central Park for World Wide Knit in Public Day, where about 25 other knitters had assembled. Here I am (on the left) with three other knitters. The weather was sunny and almost warm (if you sat in the sun) and we had a great time.

LATER: I won two skeins of Shibuiknits sock yarn for my WWKIP Sock Knitters Anonymous Scavenger hunt photos! (a contest on ravelry.com)

The year of giant roses

We have been having the perfect weather for roses--everyone's bushes are covered with flowers. Even mine! I cut a few and brought them inside to enjoy. The white roses are HUGE.

1 new painting done, 1 to go

Yesterday, I added a few more touches to the Pink Orchids painting that I have been showing you "in progress." And I also worked on a new, White Orchids painting. Last week, I painted the green leaves, and yesterday I painted the background, leaving the orchids pure white. When the background is done, I will add details to the flowers.
