When I woke up on Monday, instead of tackling the mountain of paperwork on my desk,
I decided to relax and color.
I colored for hours, until my fingers had become "tired" and they were begging me to stop.
These are the ones I recently finished and I don't think I have shown them here yet.
I started a new knitting project...
This is The Neapolitan Cowl 20
I am knitting with Magpie Fibers DK Yarn
"swanky'
80% SW Merino, 10% Cashmere & 10% Nylon
It is easy enough, purling and knitting is all you really need to know.
And also a key point is to NOT let the yarn twist.
On my first attempt...casting on the 252 stitches, my yarn twisted and I had to rip it out
and start all over again.
I am back on track, untwisted.
I am still planting flowers and seeds,
I am way beyond the respectable time to be putting things in the ground.

You colored all that?!? Your talents never cease to amaze me. Any coloring I did would look like a two year old did it with squiggly lines all over the page!
Hello Debbie,
Your coloring pages are pretty. I love the hummingbirds.
I will look forward to see your Cowl finished.
Take care, enjoy your day!
It must of been relaxing or you would not have spent so much time at it.

Glad you had a nice relaxing time coloring. Those are really neat. Great job.
I love coloring too. Your pages look great.
Beautiful. I colored some this past weekend. I have a National Park coloring book I started. I love the page of the hummingbirds.
I like to color too. Very relaxing. Do you like knitting with dark colors. I find it harder to see the stitches. The cowl will be beautiful!!
Debbie, your colouring is gorgeous. You are very talented.
yes, i love the color but i do find it harder to see the stitches. this yarn was gifted to me in the "beat the winter blues swap" i participated in. the person was so thoughtful in getting purple for me because they knew it was my favorite color. i purchased a steel needle, that is helping me to see the stitches better...and i am going slower!!
Debbie your colouring looks lovely but I agree that was a lot of colouring!
All the best Jan
Wow! Your coloring is gorgeous. It must be really relaxing.

I wonder why it took so long for someone to decide that adults need coloring books too. Coloring is so relaxing and there is a joy in it that we never out grow :)
Wow! Your coloring pages are beautiful. How nice to relax and take some time for things you love to do .
THis is a really lovely book and you color well!
So good that you listened to your body and played with colors. They are just lovely.

Wow you weren't kidding you did a lot of coloring, I love the page of birds. Nice to have a new project going on your knitting too. I didn't get my wild flower seeds planted yet, some from last year came up in the wildflower garden and I have been enjoying them and now I think it may be too late.
