An early spring
Sydney J. Harris
When I started this edging I had only a vague idea of what I wanted. I was happy with the first row though I knew it needed a second row to make it as deep as I was looking for. The length of the first row worked out well, leaving just the right number of repeats so the second row fit – once I figured out what the second row was going to be. The first row has a SCMR and a thrown ring in every repeat but otherwise it is just rings and chains. The second row is a little fiddly but not difficult, using only rings and chains though you have to switch shuttles for the ‘basket’ part. If anyone is interested I am sharing the pattern, it’s on the sidebar.
I’m not much of a garden person – I’m much too lazy to keep it weeded – but I do like to have a few flowers to brighten up the house. While they look nice I’d thought I’d share a little. I put these out a little over a week ago and they’re still alive(!) and look like they may stay that way a little longer. It’s amazing how a few pots of plants change the whole feel of the entry way.

and as wind blew, it looked like music on the ground.”
