I've finished 525m of the yarn for my eighteenth century stockings, which means another 300m approximately to go. Some of that is on the bobbins ready to ply, but I will need to spin up some more.

| Gilled perendale spun worsted, approximately sport weight as planned. |
This morning we went out on a road trip to The Iris Garden in Motukarara; it's been a few years since I was last there and it's just as beautiful as I remember. It's only open for a few months a year but worth the trip.

| I think this is the one I bought, very similar to my Supreme Sultan, but a little lighter and smaller, it'll be planted further along that same bed. |
 |
| Loved this butterfly and there were tonnes of bees as well. |
 |
| We also have some new life here, baby praying mantis; so cute! |
Back to the knitting now, going to try and get another repeat of chart 3 in for the test knit before dinner.

Stocking s project, interesting. Excuse my ignorance, how do you construct them? I'm guessing knitting

Beautiful irises! Love the baby mantises too - I've never seen them when they were babies!
Beautiful spinning and those iris are truly worth a visit. Love them!
