GM is always telling me that I shouldn't wish my life away, and actually, he's quite right. BUT I am pleased that we're getting towards the end of January.
Last week Ben came round to cut back the overhang from the conifers, OK it's not pretty, but it does mean more light will make it into the yarden during the growing season, and that's more important to me.
In an attempt to reduce my yarn stash, I've made a start on a cardigan for myself. The pattern is one I've had for a while, and looks a bit old fashioned, but I really don't care. I've knitted it up before and it's relatively easy, meaning I can knit while watching TV. The lovely bag was a birthday present from GD5 last year.
Just a little whimsy on my part
Once a year, usually starting on Boxing day, GM and I do a joint jigsaw puzzle, this one was actually harder than it looked, we finished it last Thursday January 22nd, so it took us almost 4 weeks!
The first 4 squares of my book cover challenge are completed, they will eventually be finished off and joined with white (which I may have to buy!!), so the disparity in size is not a problem - double knitting yarn these days varies quite a lot in thickness.
Just a little bit of stash-busting fun.
See you again soon.
