It began as a way of using up all those bright left overs – A Head Start
which progressed to giving away a little bit of love – School starts on Monday –
which then developed into a full scale attempt at something I hadn’t done for a little while
Bright isn’t it 😎
The idea was to practice my fair isle skills on one of those little ‘me do it’s’
Front and back the same so didn’t matter what way a 2yr old puts it on.
But I decided on a plain back instead
then couldn’t be bothered decided not to knit made it sleeveless
It hasn’t made it to the charity because a friend claimed it for a young grandchild. Thankfully the mother liked it (memories of the return of the red jumper) and wasn’t too upset when I said No sorry to her request for another larger one in different colours
All this hasn’t made much of a dent in the left overs because there’s still oodles left in the box. It’ll be a case of ‘watch this space’ because I’m not sure what I’ll come up with next

We’ve had misty damp mornings recently, not cold just very autumnal looking. Somehow I don’t think the little Japanese Maple will colour much more- it’s dropping leaves already. I think we might have to think about pruning it as well as the Pittosporum which is dwarfing it.
So with this month’s book club offering having just arrived I spent some time on the deck the other day feeling rather granny like but very comfortable and warm wrapped in a blanket.
I told The Golfer I was resting (like actors do) between ‘jobs’ – waiting for inspiration on what to do next – something interesting will crop up – some little thing will seem just right and I’ll get on with it.
Thankfully unlike actors I’m not dependent on doing that ‘something’ for a living.
Who says you can’t have fun in your old age😊
