Third Zen garden vignette completed

 Hello dear readers

The third and last of the trio Zen vignettes is ready to be displayed.  It is very hard to catch a serenity air in the very small space given.  I learned that to do so, the fewer items in the garden are best.  






For a clearer picture, photos are without the plexiglass.


These three photos from the internet were my inspiration.





Dear readers,  one can never know what surprises the future holds for him.  Suddenly, at the age of 90 I became a knitting instructor, For at least 30 years I didn't hold a knitting needle and now I am teaching the folks at the daycare center to knit special neck warmers.  To do so, I surfed the internet saw samples, translated the instructions into Hebrew, and knitted the first samples myself.  The first ones are already being knitted by very enthusiastic ladies. The center provides the wool, the ladies knit the items. If they want to keep an item they only pay the cost of the wool.  Items that are not bought by the knitters are sold on a Bazaar at higher prices to cover the cost of the other craft materials.





This is the one I knitted myself for my 12 years old great-granddaughter.



I am now knitting the sample from the photo below.   Next, I'll teach knitting beanie hats to go with the neckwarmers.

  


I hope this post didn't bore you too much and wish you wonderful cool autumn days with blessings.

  4. I'm amazed! Ok first the vignettes are gorgeous. All in a row like that they're so perfect. But then you're teaching knitting and you haven't knitted in so long? You're awesome. And the neck warmers are adorable.

  6. The Zen gardens are enchanting, Drora! And they are so tiny. I’ve been thinking of creating some scenes in matchboxes. In dollhouse scale that would be 1:144.
    The neck warmers are sweet and a very useful idea. Probably much more practical than a long scarf and quicker to make. I only have very rudimentary knitting skills, wish I could join your class.

  10. Your vignettes capture the zen-feeling very well. I should take look at these in the middle of
    my work hectic work day, to calm down.
    The neck warmer looks perfect and the scarfs for children adorably cute! Knitting, I think, is like cycling - one never forgets how to do it.
