Strikker jeg en dromedar? - Am I Knitting a Camel?

Det begynder sådan her  ~ It begins like this.

Og fortsætter sådan her  ~~  And continues like this.

Tror I det bliver til en dromedar? For det ligner det altså
~~
Do you think I'm knitting some kind of camel? It sure looks like it.

Før jeg fortsætter med dromedaren, går vi lige en tur i haven.
~~
Before continuing the story of the "knit camel" let's go for a walk in the garden.
Coreopsis på spring  ~~ Tickseed almost flowering.

Druer, de første nogensinde  ~~  Grapes, my first ever

HaveUglen har fået nye, fine blomster  ~~  GardenOwl has had new flowers

Kiwien har nye, imponerende skud  ~~  The kiwi has new, impressive growth.

Og urtebedet har to nye uter, citronverbena og strandmalurt
~~
And the herbal bed has two new arrivals: Lemon verbena and Sea wormwood, also known as Old woman.

Månebedet har fået en omgang Matrem i enden. Det er vist en ukrudt her i landet, men jeg synes det ligner små spejlæg, og kan rigtig godt lide dem.
~~
The Moon bed has had some Feverfew planted at the swampy end. It is considered a weed, but I like all the flowers looking like fried eggs.

Tante T og onkel K har været på arbejde med at vande de nyplantede matremplanter
~ ~
Aunt T and Uncle K has been at work, giving water to the newly planted feverfew.

Og så tilbage til "dromedaren" ~~ And back to the "Camel".
Nok engang strikker jeg sokker til brug i mine japanske støvler, der er mit foretrukne sommerfodtøj.
~~
Once again I'm knitting socks to use with my Japanese boots. I love those in the summer time.
 
9 år gammelt billede af mine ninjastøvler. De virker stadig

Nine years old photo of my ninja-boots - I still use them.

Jeg er sikker på at der er masser af GYLDNE farver i dette indlæg, det er jo trods alt sommer
I am sure you can find lots of GOLDEN in this post. It is Summer after all.

  1. Lovely. I have never seen Ninja Boots here. I will have to keep my eye out for them.

    1. Thanks, I told of my travel to ninja-boots nine years ago, by several buses and trains all the way to Copenhagen and beyond in rain and train chaos ;) and bringing three little Owlets. An unforgettable trip!

  3. I love lemon verbena, I had a tree in the garden where my daughter still lives and I used to pick a handful of leaves crush them a little to release the scent and put them in a bowl in the bathroom. I like feverfew too and had some growing in between the chamomile and oregano in the back garden of that house.
    The socks are a lovely colour, I like that type of variegated yarn.

    1. Lemon verbena a tree? You Australians do everything bigger and better :D In Denmark it's a shrub or a small bush at most, and many times not winter hardy. I'll try and scent some room with this, I love the smell, but find the taste too strong almost bitter.
      Variegated yarn is fun, this one is store-bought (it is cotton) but i am experimenting with making my own.

    2. It is a very small tree, not more than two metres high and often less, I just call everything a tree if it is taller than me :)

    3. A plant of two metres sure is a tree if it looks like one - lovage is not a tree ever even if it grows taller then 2 m in my garden :)
      My Lemon verbena is not even knee high. I doubt it'lll ever groww taller than my 1.75.

    1. Ja haver er en uudtømmelig kilde til fornøjelse - og frustration.
      Det er ikke til at se det, når men ikke lige ved det ;) med de sokker. Ninja støvler er bare så behagelige at have på ... så må folk grine ...
