Phew!

A little time to breathe.

Mum And DD have arrived in England safely. Dad is in respite not far away. So here I am a minute to myself Before starting all the chores and going to visit Dad, then pick up DH etc etc. And they're saying I'm on holiday - umph

This minus 3 and 4 degrees is not that pleasant. Mum will come come to some frost bitten plants. The tomatoes that self seeded haven't survived even though they are on the veranda.

Have completed the Beret de Printemps from the Knitist in Elle Pure Gold DK , won't have a pick as took it to work and a lady promptly bought it from me, I was happy to give it away, but she insisted on giving me some money. Would be better in wool than acrylic as will block, but apparently slouch is out so that wasn't an issue.

Will have to start a baby beanie as our friends have a new baby boy.

Trying to find something to do with some Patons Mist for myself in the form of a wrap.

Going to get washing on the line and some rays, play Tug or War with Dugald in the hope that he will be too tired to take the washing off the line

Monkey Socks


Forgot Pic

More Charity Knitting


A dropped stitch scarf and 2 plush beanies.

Still doing heaps of OT.

Amazed by the girls at work and how they've taken to knitting within about 3 weeks from never knitted to cabled beanies and drop stitch , definitely "No Fear Knitters".

It's become an epidemic
