Had a lovely little getaway in Norfolk. Great Saturday night hanging with friends and catching up over some knitting. Smitten with this jumper my friend is working on. Even more smitten with her heavenly dog 😊 Knit details following. 🧶 #knitting

#showmeyourknits These were knitted up from some beautiful old wool found in a charity shop. I often wear the leg warmers over the cardigan sleeves for snuggly walks. 🧶 #knitting The cardigan is loosely based on RukeKnit Puna cardigan pattern- very adaptable.

I made a mistake. I will see it if I don’t fix it. I am not prepared to unpick the whole rows but I don’t know if I am up for the mental challenge of a spot repair. Goes to find crochet hooks, safety pins and some strong cups of coffee 😂 I anticipate strong bouts of swearing 😬 #knitting 🧶

Tidying up my woolens before they get washed and stored for Winter. It’s a chilled job, just scissors. This was my first ever cardigan. I can see all the mistakes now the bobbles have been cleared 😬 (left)

Wool sorting day yesterday. This year everyone is getting socks for any occasion 😬 Our neighbours cat popped by to help 😍 🧶 #knitsky #knitting

My other WIP- we have a new baby in the family so having a go at cotton and pastel to suit parents. Cotton is hard! It looks like it’ll take a dryer though so hopefully practical. Wool- Kingcole baby bamboo and cotton- strands. Pattern- making it up 😬 #showmeyourknits #knitting 🧶

Lazy morning in the garden. Current WIP, inspired by someone’s post here 😊 I love the pattern, was hard to get started but quickly understood and easy to pick up for a few minutes. Pattern Pressed Flowers by Amy Christoffers on Ravellry. Wool- Yarnsmiths merino sock #showmeyourknits 🧶 #knitting

Hot off the needles- a t shirt made with vintage charity shop/thrift store yarn. £3 in all 😊

Some outside knitting with Dolly duck for company. Spring rules 😊
