Towards the end of May (about 7 weeks ago) I had a little think fest about ‘things to do’ while we were away up here – finally deciding on THESE.
Mind settled I packed the supplies away thinking how clever I was to be so well organised.
Then of course mid June ‘life happened’ and I broke open a bag and calmed myself with THIS.
Always a good way to divert my attention from other stuff is to think about something else.
And those children’s woolies were still to be my winter project…….see I finished the back of the one I began at home, started a sleeve on the way up and here it is done waiting for the next one. This yarn really is proving to be a good buy – easy to knit with, has a ‘wintery’ feel to it but isn’t scratchy at all. Might have to ‘straighten’ a few stitches though….reading and knitting sometimes produces sloppy work.
…..so why (you ask) am I in the middle of making baby cardigans?
Well, just before we left, I heard on the grapevine of another charity asking for 1st size (0-3mths) cardigans and you do know how I enjoy making them. So I might have put some lighter weight yarn in my bags as well😊
This is such an easy knit with its simple decorative but effective bodice/shoulder shaping. It won’t take long to finish now, just have the skirt/ body to do and ‘Bob’s your uncle’, I’m ready to get on with another one
This week I’ve been engrossed with a collection of short stories by Australian Judy Nunn. My first time with this author, I’ve found them easy to read, not too involved, (a few words say a lot) I’m thinking maybe I’ll try one of her novels soon.
How have you been occupying your time recently- the weather’s been a talking point in many countries so I think a few of you may have needed things to take your mind off what’s been going on in the great outdoors. What about reading matter – any recommendations to share???

It’s Wednesday- time to check in with Kat and others at her weekly link up called Unraveled Wednesday . Let’s hope she’s feeling rested after her break, but look, why don’t you pop over, see what’s going on – maybe stay and say hello.
