Dreaming of Ewe, said sheepishly..



Hubby has treated me to a new book called Folk Bags and some very agreeable knitty related nightwear! ;) I think I like his sense of humour!
I also received yesterday my two subscription mags, so I've plenty to look at :)
My small spinning collection has a home in a shoe box - hoping it will protect the spindles until I can find another way of storing them.

Amused..

Having a little break from the spinning for a while - we have our grand daughter staying a couple of nights whilst our son and daughter in law are at the Magic the Gathering in Brighton.

Our grand daughter is now settled down for the night, so I'm looking on Ravelry. There's a nice v neck jumper I have my eye on - it has cables, and is a top down jumper. It's a free pattern that can be found on Knitty.com - so I'm considering making this one. I can imagine wearing one in an aubergine/maroon colour.

I'll be pondering on this one..

Things are going around in circles..




Well things are going round in circles - my head's in a spin as well as learning to spin! lol

My health is fluctuating, as is my attention span and concentration to most things - but I'm trying..
I've had a grumpy few days, but it seems to be passing now, must keep positive! I'm teaching myself to spin at the moment - and it's fun but is affecting my joints and muscles so it's something I need to pace at sensibly and not go hammer and tongs at! It's very addictive though! My first 'yarn' isn't perfect - but I'm chuffed that I'm slowly getting the hang of it :)

Had a lovely morning yesterday with our grand-daughter and my parents, all playing 'bubbles' outside :)

Really looking forward to my hubby having a week off work - will be so nice to spend some time together, even if there is stacks of DIY and house stuff to do and sort.. that's life ;)
