I’m quite a fan of pink and red together and I’m an even bigger fan of super soft, warm fabric and this is it. It’s alpaca and quite frankly just want to put my face in it, now and stay there. Anyone else got total lockdown exhaustion? To be honest, my head is a bit fried at the moment so I’ve poured a gin and I’m going to pack my swim bag for the morning... if the weather is good I’m going to have a pre work swim because I really, really need it. Feeling similar?
In short, this is a tank top for my girl in pink and red alpaca. Happy Thursday night yarn muffins xxx

Nuuk #3 complete and on.
I know what I like and I really like making a Nuuk and wearing one so here’s #3!

Yarn is @thewoolkitchen Nebula DK pattern Nuuk from @laine_magazine but a big shout out to @julietillyflop who introduced me to this liddle number 💛
I could do with making a new hat too...

I’m getting my Nuukery done in between other bits like crochet pots and thingymajigs.

I’m so grateful to have this knitting, talking to friends in my phone and throwing myself into ice cold water, I’d go mad otherwise in this lockdown 🤣...knitnookery and thingamajigs.

This is the look of a walk on the hill in the wind

I don’t know why my camera took this picture blue today but it couldn’t emphasise any more how calming and refreshing the water is. It was cold, I’m not going to lie, but beautiful. A little reminder that calm will come. Can’t wait to meet with a few more of us swimmers and get on out there to the 8! Bring on Spring and vaccinations.

Thank you as ever to my special friends who introduced me to this weekend ritual and @breatheolution for guiding me in back in October. It is the magic I look forward to all week 💙

I finished this commission earlier in the week, it’s a super soft alpaca baby blanket but with a special meaning. The design is based on a label significant to the family. The colours are different to my usual colours, not blasts of hot pink and peach, no aqua and citron and the colours took me back... for ages I couldn’t remember where, it was Mothercare in the 70’s!
Here’s a few reminders for those who will remember, enjoy!

Here’s a sock, I’m showing you my sock progress.......
Wodge is never not by my side but at the moment he’s incredibly involved in everything. Those who have dogs know that beautiful noise of smacking head against the bathroom door when you take a speedy pee of escape, you’ll have experienced the pirouette you take as you trip over dog at your feet while opening the oven door, the list goes on but when the dog gets in your photos and your knitting he’s just getting precocious. But having him at my feet while I work is just gorgeous.
I’ll show you my sock story another time. Yarn from @skeinqueen bought from @tangledyarnuk I hope to have them finished before Covid-19 is out, let’s face it. I’m not giving myself an unrealistic deadline.

I’m just going to keep knitting and then gaze out the window until this is all over.
It’s debatable how this will all end, I’ll either knit myself into a serious concern or be incredibly skilled and will be prepared for the next knit apocalypse, who knows. Another Nuuk won’t harm anyone. Can’t wait to go swimming, just thinking out loud.

First cast on of the year 🌈
Swipe along to see how it knits up, it’s so gorgeous!
I’ve had my eye on this yarn for so long and decided it was perfect for #nuuk numero trois. I just had to you see. Had to.

I’ve only got three odd socks on needles, a shawl and some commissions to start but it’s my holidays you see and, and, well, and.

Hi there 2021, please be kind to my family and friends.

Started my year in the “pool” my new love, swimming with nature and in the cold fresh water and air. It was beautifully calm and relaxing, I’m hoping it’s a good sign. Sheer bliss.
Followed later by a walk up Rushup Edge, just us.
Happy New Year, the new rock and roll.

As Transvision Vamp sang, “I don’t want your money honey, I want your love” if you were there you’ll know, it was a belter, give it a listen, it was a cracker.

My best 9 of 2020
What a year!
Taking the positives from it and there are many, many best bits. Family, friendships, a new niece, yarn and the outdoors, they have been wonderful. New hobbies, baking bread, visiting Anglesey more often and recently throwing myself into cold water.
2021 positives :
What I’m really hoping for is to hug my family and friends we haven’t been able to see, squeeze them and hold them tight without worry, guilt and fear. I warn you, I’m coming to squeeze you, I’ve missed that so much.
And a shed load of colour, yarn and knitting and creating no end of fluff and frills because life may be too short to stuff a mushroom but it’s not too short for colour and fun. I want to swim across the reservoir, walk around Anglesey.But the hugs, I’ve missed the hugs.
Happy New Year and thank you for following me and my colour wheel. See you next year 💛 with Pom Poms on.

My girl and boy and the big man ❤️
I could give a million positives about why knitting is good for you but one is being wrapped up against the elements ready for a freezing cold hill walk.
It’s the big man’s big birthday today and the kids led a walk along the top of Winnats Pass, along the Broken Road and Mam Tor. A fab day, thanks kids!
Outdoors, in the cold and happy.

Lily is wearing the @westknits #starburstshawl I made her in the summer, might cast on a third soon...
