Morning a bit cloudy this morning here but want to go out later. Rox I used to love knitting jumpers arran don’t have the patience for it now so baby hats for premature babies.
My last few sweaters were done in arran for Dunc n David but like you say they need a lot of concentration. I like to listen to Audio Books while I knit so arran is difficult as I tend to drift at times. This one I’m doing just now has a pattern but it’s easy. I’ll post a pic once it’s done, though it will be a few weeks as I’m in no hurry. ![]()
Rox the last time I knitted one I was still working. A workmate asked me to knit one for her sister, needless to say that was the last arran I knitted. Looking forward to seeing the pic of your sweater.
Morning, Not too bad here at the moment, got the washing on and hoping it can fully dry out on the ropes. Bit of a greenhouse tidy up later and then it’s grooming time again.
Have a good day. ![]()
Evening. A nice day here and some sunshine. Went into town for a look round the shop, bought a few tops in case I go on holiday again this year. It was nice in town without any demonstrations of any kind.


Evening all…
@Rox … nice bit of wool there. Lovely colours. Gosh I haven’t knit for years. Over half a century.
Mum taught me and hated it as I always gripped the needles that tight I kept snapping them.
Morning All, Rain today and I’m not complaining about it…Yet. According to the Weather Forecast we are to have rain all week, boy does the ground need it, glad I got all the washing out and dried yesterday. Day of housework for me today.
Enjoy your day folks. ![]()
None here yet in South Yorkshire…(
It’s forecast for a lot of places tomorrow … fingers, trotters and paws crossed.
Morning raining here as well. Meeting a friend shortly and going for lunch in a new coffee shop. It has a really good reputation.
I was never much good at knitting, but when my GC came along I managed some baby jackets and even a white shawl.
Paula I would never attempted to knit a shawl.
Morning, Not nice today still lots of showers with a flash of the sun in between them. Been to the pool, Tesco and The Front. After lunch I’m down for Stable Duties.
Have a nice day folks. ![]()
Ah … I’ve just kicked my shoes off, put my feet up and are having a dunk. Total unadulterated bliss.
Fig rolls … now there’s another biccie I haven’t had for ages.
YUCK, I hate fig rolls, figs in any size, shape, or description.

I know they’re gross … but for some reason I like Fig Rolls.
God knows why cos I think I read somewhere that wasps go into the fruit and die and degrade ?
Actually I shouldn’t have typed that … I think I’ll stick to digestives and ginger nuts.
Evening. Heavy rain here and it was a cold wind. Went to the Charity shop and then did some food shopping. Don’t like fig rolls either.
Let’s hope the heatwaves are over, I’m finally starting to feel more awake and like myself again. ![]()
