Sunday morning musings

Still under the weather. I think it might be bronchitis again, judging by the gunk coming up, I’m off to the doc tomorrow.

I have managed to pop a few stitches into Cat knot, I did a little count this morning and I have done 140 stitches (all confetti). I have been sleeping a lot during the day so not to much progress to show for it. I am seriously considering letting this go and starting again on 25ct evenweave, I started on 18ct Aida and I don’t like it – lesson learned. I haven’t used Aida in at least 10 years. The only pieces I have in the house that are on Aida are Deep Sea and Cross I’s by Terracotta Teapot (A West Aussie designer) – I’ll have to take a photo of them, they are interesting pieces.

Dad has returned to Adelaide, we had fun having him around and I am sorry I was not well whilst he was here.

Alison, I have been working on Happy Day Needleroll. I ran out of the lilac WDW. It’s a nice colour so I didn’t mind buying a skein.

Here’s a pic of Max. He’s a pest, but I have a deep affection for him all the same. It’s an oldie – I just haven’t tried taking a picture of him lately – he is such a blur of energy most of the time.

Socks for Dr K (yarn is: Homespun House plump bfl; “Hagrid’s Hut”). Heel increases done - now to turn the heel. Oh, and the pattern is: Vanilla is the new black.
Rapidly coming to the conclusion that I may have to actually read the Life Changing Magic of Tidying up instead of just downloading it. There’s no room in my little nook for anything else and whilst it is all lovely - there’s no order here (this for a librarian is very hard to admit!) I have a week off in May - I’ll make a start then.
Working on my #soulcraftalong WIP - Weekender by Andrea Mowry using BWM recycled yarn (pickled up in the back room two years ago when I went to Bendigo Sheep and wool). I’m a third done with the body. I wish I had more time to knit-I really hope to be done in time for the festival!
Yes, I bought this shirt to match my Veronika Cardigan 💜(Knit with Plucky Scholar: Sweet Nothings). We’re visiting family in the country and it’s chilly enough to get out the woolies! #pluckyselfie
Tripitaka amongst my project bags. #cats #knitting
I’ve been not so secretly doing Weightwatchers with some lovely work friends. I received this trinket today to mark losing 10% of my original weight. Feels so good meeting a goal and taking better care of myself.
Druthers shawl finally on the needles! This is the “Oh so cheeky” combo - starting with the “cheeky” colourway (Plucky sophisticate held double) #dailyplucky
I made a super-pretty reversible bag at my sewing class today! 😍 #sewforlifeperth
Inspiration pile o’ books ready to put back on my shelves (I need to use my desk!)
