Knitting and Frogs

We decided to clear the pond today before the frogs take over in the next few weeks.
I managed to slip and twist my ankle before we'd even got started properly. Anyway the pond is now free of the enormous flag iris that had taken over, and looking much better. T spent a lot of time picking up frogs and taking them back to the pond. We've left the big clumps of iris on the patio and I'm hoping any frogs still hiding in there will make their own way back to the pond this evening.

I'm now laid out on the sofa with my leg up and a very painful ankle. I'm going to spend the evening knitting.

Here are my latest knitting projects.

Happy New Year!

One of my challenges for this year is to update this blog regularly!

I'm trying to reduce my stash, and one of the ways I am planning on doing this is by taking part in the 100 balls in 2009 kal. The idea being to knit 100 full balls from my stash this year.

I've managed to knit about 1/2 a ball today, yay!
