‘P’ IS FOR PAPER

On Sunday I said I had settled on my ‘word for the year’. And the word I have settled on isn’t actually ‘Adventure’ but ‘Paper!’ Perhaps, though, I shall try to keep ‘Adventure’ for the spirit of the year. I know ‘Paper’ might sound rather dull and mundane – a bit passé in this digital […]

A Wedding and an Updo!

Have you tried something new this month and linked up with Fiona at Celtic Thistle Stitches? My ‘new to mes’ this month have been, mostly, wedding related. For the first time in my life, I had a proper updo done by a hairdresser, which I love from the back! And I also wore a fascinator […]

Wool on Sundays – 146 (Growing Slowly)

Welcome to October’s Wool on Sunday! I don’t have any nice new yarn finishes to share so I thought I’d start this post with a photo of one of my trusty knitting companions – Poppy of the beautiful ears! The dubious green cardigan has grown but, despite my claims in my last Wool on […]
