Welcome to my weekly ramblings on my knitting and crochet projects.
Happy St Patrick's Day. We're celebrating with some beef and Guinness stew and a wee dram of Irish Whiskey- on a school night, yes I know:) I'm wearing a jumper made from Donegal tweed (Aran weight) I bought in the Dingle, South West Ireland. I also bought some green tweed and made a lovely Aran cable sweater for Mr W. It's lovely and warm and he's had a great deal of use out of it this winter.
I've almost finished the Lily of the Valley cardigan, only the buttons to put on. Two lots arrived today and I'll have to choose the ones that best match. I've really enjoyed making this even though there was a lot of finishing. I've made good progress on my Trillium top. I've made the back plain and will only do the lace pattern on the front ( I don't see why I should spend lots of time doing a pattern I wont see!)
Mr W and I have decided to refresh our soft furnishings in the lounge and conservatory. I've been looking at patterns and came across an interesting pattern using granny squares done in a spiral. So watch this space.
Looking to the future I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my classes as I had hoped as the Church will not be open from 14 April. I'll resume my courses in the Autumn but hope to run a few workshops in May and June.
Look out for details on Facebook and Instagram. If you want to receive a newsletter email me your address and I'll pop you on the list.
