Trying Out New Fair Isle Sweater Design

This is a design I am trying out.  The design is based on Anne's Fietelson's book design, Hillswick.  It is done in Caron Simply Soft using double point Denise needles, size 6.  This is a sleeve.

Repotting African Violets

These pictures show the repotting of our collection of 300 African violets.  Bruce is handy with hose!  He is sterilizing and rinsing trays and grids.  The close-ups are of a new cultivar for us this year, Love in Bloom.  We repot once a year in the fall.  It takes 2 1/2 weeks.  The space we use is our plant room.  It is actually a second kitchen in our home.
