Green and Red

No, not talking about colors on a flag. But green things in the garden and then thinking about a certain pair of socks I want to knit sometime.

Gardening
So I was out checking on the garden. Picking snap peas and admiring the blooming flowers. Lillies, phlox, roses and sweet peas. I also picked some of the green beans, noticing the squash blossoms and nibbling borage flowers.
Knitting
Got some more work done on Citron finally. And then thought of a possible way to get a red variegated sock yarn for knitting up, My Vampire Boyfriend socks. I've got some white Malabrigo sock yarn, so I use some black cherry, and cherry Kool Aid. Dye the yarn, let it dry outside on the porch and knit. Hopefully I have enough yarn to make the socks, hopefully I can buy and dye some more. What fun.
Spinning
Got the yellow wool spun up yesterday. and got bright pink wool and mohair to try spinning up.
