its blooming autumn?

Okay so this post was going to be just an update on the crochet

But I've just wandered round the garden, and there is still so much in bloom

I had to share.

The first is an orangy pompom dahlia lismore sunset

purchased as a root cutting this year from Gilberts nursery.

Orders must be submitted before spring,

I am thinking I might order more as they are an economical way of having beautiful colour in the garden in Autumn.

The rose still very much in bloom is Burgundy Ice.

So here it is~all 24 inches of it!

I think to make it long enough to actually go round my neck,

I may need 3 more skeins!

Another pompom dahlia~willows surprise

I do love them!

I'm still very much a newbie to this crochet lark.

I like how this year has turned out.

Never thought I'd get a yarn addiction!

Now what to do with the rest of the chunky?

I am inwardly thinking a granny extreme?

Too passe?

ps. there would have been more blooms but blogger is being rubbish!
