day 70 of tracywearswool: blackberry blossom

tracywearswool day 70 out of 100 — And it is a beautiful day

Crazy chilly, but so much better with my new thick leggings on, and the cherry trees are all blooming here in Portland. And I drive down past the golf course, where there are thick hedges of blackberries, waiting for the first signs of blackberry blossom. Can’t wait.

For now, I’ll just have to wear my blackberry blossom dress. With the hat that I finished. Decided to call it the Little Farm hat… because the ribbing reminds me of little garden furrows. And, it will remind me of the huge garden project.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

I guess I better get going on writing up a few patterns, I have 2 sweaters, a hat, and several sock patterns. UGGG… so far behind. Sign up on my mailing list for GYPSYWAGONKNITS and I’ll notify you when it comes out.

So first, a trip to Ikea, and I get to drive past the blackberry thickets. And I can practise some of my dancing!!

Super easy outfit today, mostly staying warm inside and knitting…. after a great morning sleeping in, and knitting in bed.

Lularoe stretchy short sleeve dress over Woolamina.

Then nice thick leggings, wool boot socks, and my trusty Crocs.

Mostly just to the socks, though.

Except when I went to Ikea, and I wore my dancing shoes!

Sometimes, it is rather nice to have a day of loafing. Really nice.

Thanks for joining me on day 70 of tracywearswool.

Stay tuned for the next 30 days!

Be well, and get out there and plant something!
