The Leap List (May/June 2020)

Another month gone by. A list of things done and things to do…

Wool on Sundays – 171 (Knit one, garden 2…)

The swallows are back, the beansticks are up and migrating geese are stopping by so Summer is come at last! And a warm welcome to Wool on Sundays :) On the knitting front, I have a little finish… …and a stripy beginning :) But, as ever, the garden is all consuming… Soon, it will be […]

A Golden Hare at Apple Time

So here we are again in apple time and the year heaves itself round another turn. And how did that happen? Barely a knit knitted, barely a stitch stitched. They say the older you get, the faster time flies. But surely I’m not suddenly aged so fast that a whole year has sped by in […]

Wool on Sundays – 163 (A little bit woolly)

Welcome to Wool on Sundays! And thank you for visiting my long abandoned blog :) At last, this month, I have managed to get back to a very little woolliness and I’m on the last arm of this jumper that I started months ago. You can probably guess why! The garden, alas, goes ever onwards […]

A particularly labour intensive business is the weeding of the vegetable beds where seeds from the grass and […]

Something Different

With the evenings, drawing in, the leaves beginning to turn and the fruits and berries ripening, I can feel the great wheel of the year driving us steadily into Autumn – whether we are ready or not – and, although I should probably be finishing up my Summer Stitching, the pervasive sense of change in […]

Wool on Sundays 156 – (unknitting)

Welcome to another Wool on Sundays! This month my only woolliness has been confined to a little unknitting, by which I don’t mean not knitting although I’ve been doing that as well… After some consideration, I decided to unknit this cardigan. Although so short a time ago I thought this was set to be my best […]

The blogger who came in from the garden

Whilst we were in Venice, a neighbour looked after our chicken. The chicken feed is kept in a dustbin an old stable, which in truth has been slowly falling into disrepair over more years than we’ve lived here. Rather than leave the door swing and bang in the wind, as it is wont to do, […]
