The Alpaca & Silk is a dream to work with. I've got some more in a plum color. I think I may make the scarf again using larger needles. I used #7 Clover Bamboos for the green one.
Not too much else going on. #1 is staying home with me this summer. We've been swimming, knitting, gardening, playing. #2 is still in daycare, to secure his position for next fall when I go back to teaching, but I keep him home often and/or pick him up early. It's nice having time alone with #1.
The garden is growing. Here are some of the latest pics:
The volunteer zinnias and marigolds are blooming.
Here is a crinum lily (also called milk & wine lily). I have several blooming now, but this is the best pic.
The tomatoes are about ready for the first harvest:
That's about it for now.

believe it or not, one of the patterns I want to make it the scarf you have already done. I am making the Orangina top in tangerine, & I also have a shawl that I will start soon, I am going to make it out of 100% alpaca. The yarn is $16 a skien, so I have to buy it week by week at ACMoore with a 40% coupon! Your tomatoes are really big, mine only have flowers on them. My squash are really pretty large, though, & I have been picking cucumbers everyday. By this time next week my green beans will be ready also!
What a beautiful Branching Out! I hope mine will turned half as great as yours!
I am making it for my MIL also!
Beautiful flowers and yummy tomatoes too! :)
Your BRANCHING OUT turned out absolutely magnifico!
Is the pattern available online?

Thanks, Noreen, it's at Knitty.com in the archives under scarves.
Beautiful scarf!
And I'm jealous of your tomatoes. We didn't plant any this year. *sigh*
