Red and overflowing Part 2

My landlord stopped in on Saturday to say the flowers just weren't right so they were going to be re-done:

Gone.

On Sunday, these appeared:

A little more red, a little more overflowing. I happen to see the woman putting them in and we had a little conversation about the red and overflowing request. She indicated that these would in fact grow up and overflow more. Still not sure that my landlord will like it.

As I was closing and taking in the flag on Sunday afternoon, another woman came up to me and here was our conversation:

Woman: "Excuse me, where did the boxes go?"

Me: "What boxes?"

Woman: "The flowers."

Me: "Oh, they came and took them and replaced them with these?"

Woman: "Who did?"

Me: "The people who brought the first ones."

Woman: "I didn't replace these."

Me: "Oh."

Woman: silence

Me: "Huh."

Woman: silence

Me: "I guess you'll have to talk to my landlord about that. Do you have his number?"

Woman: "No.".....silence. Turns and walks away.

Apparently she is the bearer of the first batch of "red and overflowing" and was not approached about re-doing them. I felt bad.

Meanwhile, the Lace-a-long drew a nice group for the first session. Thanks again to Stephanie for the idea and who came with two week old Zachary - so sweet! Some beautiful lace projects were started. Some beautiful projects already in progress too. Join us when you can. Every Saturday, 10:30-noon through a date in August I can't remember right now but will post again.

Show and Tell!

Nancy's Happy Choices socks (knitting your sock from a dyed scarf):

See the little strip of yarn on the left? That's what she had left of the scarf.

And her own hand dyed scarf and sock-in-progress:

Aren't the colors beautiful????

Pat's beret made with her own hand dyed sock yarn (made with the Louet kit in the class at the shop!):

Nancy's Picovoli tank, made in the class at the shop:

Beautiful! Stay tuned for the "final" product (she's going to put a picot eding on it!)

Trudi's Textured Circle Shrug made with Frog Tree Merino Melange (a yarn I don't have but comes highly recommended for me to look into getting!):

LOTS of oohs and aahs over this at the shop on Saturday, leading to a conversation about having this as a class. It's knit in the round - no seams!

Off to enjoy my days off!
