My first attempt at hand quilting, thanks to a lesson from my buddy Fiona.
Homemade snickerdropper!! My favourite sweet thing in the world (quote Ysolda: ‘It’s like snickers and millionaire shortbread had a baby!’), a treat from our old knit night cafe and now re-created for me by Fiona…
This would have been done if it wasn’t for a sudden thread shortage. Anybody recognise the pattern?
I knit. A lot. I spent most of yesterday evening wrestling with ribbing and icord, and now my knitting basket is overflowing with an almost completed Carter Cardigan…
A new phase of decorating has begun and I spent hours standing inside a very small space covered in tile paint. And somehow managed to get it all over my legs, through my painting trousers. Goodbye grubby-yellow shower room!
The only thing missing was a little time at my spinning wheel, so that is at the top of my list for crafting fun this week…
