Spider Queen--finished

And finally blocked.

To recap: 47 days of knitting, slightly more than 8 oz of Jaggerspun Zephyr, and the seams weren't painful at all to sew up. Very satisfying all around.

When I wasn't blocking or painting the basement, I was admiring my pretty little flowers:

And digging a garden with Jon:

This humble patch of dirt (and oh-so-fragrant cow manure) will soon be a humble vegetable/herb garden. Baby steps, you know.

Playing in the dirt is lots of fun, but I naturally got my first sunburn of the season. On my lower back, from bending over. Damn low-rise jeans.

It looks fantastic! What a job!! 47 days only? It would take me a life-time to make anything like that...
