I have spent a lot of time at the clothes line today. Most of the time it looked like this! The wind is amazing today. I am very thankful that I have not had any laundry blow off the line and yes, it did dry much quicker with the wind and warm air. DD1 and 2 have finally cleaned their rooms and they both did an exceptional job. It created a lot of laundry from clothes that were strewn about in their rooms. I am a day away from being finished and that is such a wonderful feeling.
I have spent almost every waking moment when I'm not working on laundry knitting. I have these and two more finished. I am experimenting with various sizes to see what is most comfortable and works best in our kitchen. I really like the variety of colors of dishcloths and especially love the way I enjoy seeing them in the kitchen on the side of the sink. It is such a wonderful feeling to have something you made being used. There is a deep satisfaction in producing or making items or supplies at home instead of purchasing them from the store. I feel like I am not contributing to the commercial mass production and I am more in touch with my home. It makes our home feel nurtured, loved, and a place you would like to spend time in because it is a haven.
This is a quick snapshot of the stained glass project I made earlier this spring in a stained glass class. I enjoyed the class and making this project though I don't think I have a calling as a stained glass artist :)

I love your clothes line, it brings back memories of the lines we had on the farm I grew up on. I would prefer these to the one I have now, which is a rotary one. It has been extremely windy today, too windy in fact to hang clothes outside. I think they would end up blowing over the paddock to the neighbours.
I have been busy knitting dishcloths lately too. I make mine 44 stitches wide and that size seems to suit me fine, I dont like them too small...
Beautiful colours in the stained glass. Looks like you have done a nice neat job, well done :)
Thank you Tania :) I am very surprised when I go out to get the clothes that they are not blown to the neighbors yard! I feel very thankful to have such a nice clothes line.
I believe I have settled on a very loose knit of 38 stitches on my dishcloths. Thank you so much for your comment have a wonderful day :)
