Owls

Finished accept for buttons, only just wearable as really tight.
I'm a size 8 and though small to medium would allow for yard substitution, could have definitely gone up to medium , oh well might inspire me to lose the 4-5 kgs I've put on

Tired, working too much etc etc

The Garter Stitch Baby Cardigan is completed, took ages longer than I thought it would. It's is actually a plummy pink. Happy with it though , think it's cute looking like a little suit jacket. It was my first time doing pockets like this (knit the pocket inner, cast off same amount of stitches where required and next row knit along pocket inner where stitches were cast off) so simple and very neat (another wow that's so simple and cool knitting moment, like when I first did cable)

Just about finished another Meret. For my friend at work who gave it a couple of goes but gave up, didn't use proper stitch markers and got lost I think.

When that's finished starting on Kate Davis' "owls". The friend above whipped up it for her daughter in about a week in Moda Vera Cardellino in lovely greys. I found some in a purple and green my two favourite colours so how could I resist. They do have some lovely colourways in this yarn

Sweet 16

DD is sweet 16 today and I'm missing her, thinking of when she was a cheeky chubby baby.

She will be showing dogs at Windsor Castle today.

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
