Work in progress

The latest jumper, inspired by the rocks, mosses and lichens where I live

It feels like spring has sprung!

Went for a potter down Gogbatch today as it is flat (ish) at the bottom and Florence wanted to ride her scooter. It was such a beautiful day, blue skies, birdsong, and a hint of warmth in the sun. We watched Ravens doing their flipping over thing, Buzzards soaring and a Red Kite who had popped over for a visit. The Alders were glinting purple from their catkins and the black Ash buds were getting fatter. We also saw two lambs and the wild horses on a nearby hill. What a wonderful place to live.

And as a bonus the washing dried outside (almost)! Back to the knitting now...

My two favourite models

Florence and Hollie wearing their Rainbow Sheep jumpers. Thanks girls!
If you would like one for yourself send me a message - any colourway, any size.

The jumper was my mother-in-law's, it looked lovely on her but looks much cuter on Didi the puppy!

Snow again

Rather lovely alpacas who live up the road

Back online, hurray!

I've found it so hard to have no access to the internet at home this past year. Quite isolating in a way. I have been knitting like a good 'un though and have sold a lot of things, now my stocks are a bit depleted. I have decided to concentrate on original designs, like this blue jumper, with a few hats, brooches and teacosies thrown in as light relief when I am sewing in the ends! There are a lot of ends...

Quick look over the road to see the wild ponies!

It's hard to blog without an internet connection!

We've had no internet at home since February, makes blogging a little tricky! Still knitting though :)
Only got two more shows this year, Saturday 1st December at the Malvern Christmas Lights fair, and Saturday 8th at Made in Shropshire in the square in Shrewsbury.
I am focussing more on the stripey textured jumpers I make, here are the latest two:

I've also been making crochet roses with mohair:
