I feel this blog's been pretty neglected lately-left to gather dust in a corner, unloved and unupdated. So no more! I will post more regularly. I will I will I will. And to prove it here is my first in a while - but it does take me a lot longer to complete things these days (excuses I know - Next I'll be claiming my dog ate it.)
I've been doing a lot of knitting - mainly because it's portable requires no prep, getting out or clearing up afterwards. Sewing has been relegated to rare as hen's teeth afternoons when John takes Maya out. Like I said, rare.
But I have completed a few knitting projects (and taught myself to follow a crochet pattern) that I'm proud enough of to show off. So here's the first - It's called Flourish by Erika Knight from Rowan's knitting & crochet magazine no 47. I fell in love with their new(ish) revive yarn which is made from recycling fibres. Lovely colours (but not cheap.)
It was super easy to make but I think I should have done size down as it was just a bit too shapeless. So I attached an I cord to the back to give it (and me) at bit of a waist.
I'll be back with more soon I promise

Yay, you're back!
How funny that I have the opposite experience. I find time a few minutes for sewing in most days. I haven't found time to knit in months and this horrible heat isn't motivating me at all.

To hear banks tell it, every extra dollar of capital that they are forced to hold is one dollar less they can lend, and one dollar less of economic growth that the world desperately needs.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
