Quietly working, or not

Busy, busy busy: opera, RAKs, meetings, dogs, and shopping...

A Bigger, Redder, Butternuttier FO

A themed RAK on Ravelry's UK RAK group gave me an opportunity to make two test drives in one pass. I wanted to test out some chunky yarn that I had from eBay and I also wanted to see what an unblocked chunky Butternut Scarf would emerge like. The theme was "red," the recipient enjoys dark reds, the yarn that I had was a rich deep dark red - it had to be done!

Memeage

Snitched from Natalie at The Yarn Yard. Not snitched exactly, seeing as she asked... Just a quick meme, post-lunch, then I need to crack on with some work.

One of those days

It's a glorious good-to-be-alive day. One of those Orcadian days that make all the wet and wind worthwhile. I would love to be out and about with my camera. Unfortunately I need to be at my desk, with my book project. Only... things haven't panned out very well...

The weekend so far

Beer, sweaters, and cats - but mostly DIY and hilarity. Photo gallery of old photos of Treacle. Nostalgia. Long post.

Feeling Beady

Planning PS4 North project and wondering about bead choice... while wishing the shops were a bit closer than they are to my little island...
