You might have noticed that there hasn't been much knitting mentioned recently ....... because I haven't been doing very much! One reason is all the sewing I have been doing for Anne, but the other reason is that I just lost my enthusiasm for a few weeks. I also haven't been at knit'n'natter this year - again there are two reasons - first, my friend Lorraine that I car shared with was away for several weeks (she went away a granny and came back a great granny!!) and second with the ever-increasing cost of fuel, I have been using the car a bit less. However Lorrainre and I decided to meet somewhere nearer, so today we had our first get together ....... and of course cake was involved! A very delicious orange cream sponge
When I was sorting out some knitting yesterday to take with me today, I realised that I hadn't shown you this book, which Jennifer gave me recently
There are so many lovely dolls, it was hard to decide what to knit first. I finally narrowed it down to these two - they have the same basic body, so once I have done that I can choose which one ...... but of course the Johnny Depp lookalike is very appealing!!
I have to admit that there was much more nattering than knitting, and I am too embarrassed to show you the little bit that I did!! When I got home, the front garden was full of birds, so while Malcolm made the dinner (sausages and mash with onion and mushroom gravy - delicious) I took these photos
The robin isn't always so good at posing ...... this is just one of the many photos in which it hopped off just as I snapped!
