What else do you do when you are waiting in the van, in the pouring rain, waiting for someone to come back from the shops, praying and hoping the frozen items are still frozen by the time you get to your destination!

And really weird, knitting on long straight needles. I realise I have been in a circular mode these past few months and excited to be knitting one of my favourites. There is something about sticking to the traditional pattern but yet something exciting about redesign.

Watch out for what will be the latest

Colour and texture
On grey winter days
Reminding me of Summer Sun
And textured earth after harvests

Textiles, more than just keeping us clothed

Nothing is ever wasted

I rediscovered some a Fish and Chip Jumpers and hats from our Canvas and Thread events and sent them to Rachel for their appeal. They are making puppets to send to India and appealing for hats and scarves for Sea Farers

Oh how I’d love to return to India, maybe I’ll do the deliver. And maybe the scarves for Sea Farers will be adorned with the patterns of the British Isles, our heritage in stitches

Cath s Capes made for Barrow Food Bank Winter appeal winging their way to new homes and more wool donations to sort.

And when you re getting to the end of your yarn and need a stronghold, top of boot will do.

And even better when you rediscover a favoured stitch marker 🥰

Repairing the damage
Patching a repair
To make it useable again

A curtain
A life
Finding purpose

When it all comes together perfectly

It’s coming on well.

Whatever the outcome, whatever the final amount, I’m proud of taking part
