We got up early for a Saturday and went to the beach yesterday. It was wild, mizzly, wet and bliss, which also meant an empty beach. I think the older you get the more you recognise what you love (and don't tolerate) and a beach walk is right up there at the top of loves for me. The Northumbrian in me will never fade, I'm of course prepping for my Vera years and still love films like Message in a Bottle set on beaches misty and romantic. Oh, and Normal People, back to Normal People.
Wodge loved it rolled and rolled in a dead seagull just for the LOLs.
Back to Peaks and the lush green hills. The staycation of 2020 looks good.

Knitting this wrap in 30 degree heat I feel like I

Knitting this wrap in 30 degree heat I feel like I cursed the good weather and brought on the rain, just call me Owain and I'll get me some drums. I don't like the winter necessarily but yarn bits make it me not mind it happening within time.
Yarn is @westyorkshirespinners Illustrious and the pattern is a sort of #gryershawl but I went off piste and did my own thing, bit of an isoseles triangle with stripes and yarn changes. Perfect for a winter's day on the beach, but I'll carry on knitting my bright shawl and hope it brings the summer back ☀️☀️ Knitter predicts the weather.

If Bet Lynch could knit.
She too would knit in the passenger seat en route to sunny del Manchester. She might wear a fur coat. I'll remember my faux for winter and grow a beehive. Let's face it. I'm half way there in lockdown. Beehive and Bet pants.
I haven't watched Corrie since Raquel and Curly were on the bar. What have I missed?

I can't believe the week has gone so quick. I did say I had two margarines on the go and here is my second (third and forth). This super soft, squishy gorgeous yarn is going to be a really snug wrap on wild windy days. Ideally on Angelsey when we're allowed back there...
Thank you to my boy @harrydoeshotos for my fab new case to hold my hooks and scissors I love it I do.
Swipe to pic three and I’ve got another @westknits shawl on the go so I really have got something for every mood going on here. I’ve also got babies galore coming soon and plant sales so hanging planters and a few Wodge pics from this week, he’s had a good week, he always does. Phew, thank god for knitting and creativity. With crazy times it's so good to put the chaos into creativity.

Sometimes you just need some colourful #pompoms to bring a little bit of joy to a gloomy corner. I should know, my home is full of them and colour!
There's the perfect mix of nature and bonkers in these hangings for me, a little bit of ying and yang. Link in bio 😉

Starting something new. I've actually got two margarines on the go as the great John Shuttleworth would say and they couldn't be more different. I shall share the other later but this is how I start most projects and it can take a while. Most of these are left overs, some new and I'll blend them together to make a chaotic and fabulous new project. I'm thinking another #starburst by @westknits but I'm not sure how large or wide, let's just see where the colours take me. I've a little swatch just started in my stories.
Happy Sunday, I'm about to embrace some fresh air and let the Wodge loose!

I finished my jumper a few weeks ago and gave it to my girl. We may share it... and I may make another 😀 It's a great basic shape so I may make a longer body for me because, let's face it, you've got to keep your kidneys warm and muffins get cold too.

Day 27346 work mates.
Wodge sits with me most of the day, goes for a wonder and without fail comes back at 5pm and huffs and puffs until I finish work. Without fail. My nephews wrote to me too and set me off. "I miss playing in your garden" I miss them playing in my garden. Soon.

Happy Day 27346.

I might be known for throwing a pom pom or two on

I might be known for throwing a pom pom or two on things but my pom pom wall hangings are becoming a fave.
The first more muted colours (I'm sure there's something wrong with me) is almost as tall as me and reminds me of those long ribboned curtains in the 70s to keep the flies out, I can still see my grandmas... the second brighter one is a wee bit shorter.
Message me if you need a pom pom curtain. I will understand and look after you.

Have you done the MBTI personality test? I had to

Have you done the MBTI personality test? I had to do it at work years ago and this made me think of that.
I really want to get something really colourful on the needles but I really must finish this first. It's been sat unmade for years. I lost the pattern, I thought I might not be able to do it being a crocheter and all. I'm an ENFJ in the MBTI and my J really is coming into true force. Or should I throw caution to the wind and cast on the colour?
The chimp on my shoulder says do it, mix it up, my brain says it'll be fab when it's finished and then move on. What do you do in these situations?

We are decompressing together after a busy day Wodge and I. In silence I'm knitting, he's chilling next to me being tickled by my knitting needles. I'm wondering how much longer this will go on, he's wondering when he'll get his house back. I'm knitting a @woolandthegang kit my mum bought me years ago. He's hoping for another walk and the opportunity to eat horse crap on the field. We have a mutual understanding me and him. It's important we don't mix our ambitions.
