That's far too disciplined for me πŸ˜‚ my problem is I have to figure out where the buttons/buttonholes have to go. The maths is putting me off...

I *should* be finishing the cardigan that only needs a button band to be finished. So naturally I've started a new one...

What do you mean that firefighter is being investigated? We used to be a proper dildo throwing country. Where are our traditional dildo values? I shudder to raise my child in this dildo-at-politicians void world.

I'm loving the lighter colour change just as much as the dark 😍 And I'm excited to have my second Musselburgh hat finished

I'm so good at posting WIPs but so bad at posting FOs πŸ˜‚ though in fairness to me this time, this hat is already seeing a lot of use in wet and windy London

First half of my second Musselburgh hat done. I love the long colour changes in a Scheepjes Whirl 😍 Now just to decide what sort of stitch to do for the second half πŸ€”

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"

"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."

After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"

"This, too, it's magic."

Stitch night at the Tea House Theatre with the Musselburgh hat that I cast on pretty much as soon as the first one was finished. Loving the colour changes in this Scheepjes Whirl.

For reasons known only to my subconscious, I hate putting buttons on projects. But I was very well-behaved and added the buttons as soon as this was off the blocking mats. Present for dad βœ…οΈ

My poor partner probably thought he was getting this corner of the lounge back. Unfortunately for him, my Musselburgh Hat was ready just as my Perfecto Cowl hat dried. πŸ˜‚

I'm the same with a 3D blanket. It looks so cool but still haven't got around to making it πŸ˜‚

Very few people do things perfectly the first time! (Definitely not me) But you'll be amazed how quickly you improve

Starting off the second half of my Musselburgh hat with this lovely, sparkly (not that you can tell from the pic) blue yarn. No idea where it came from, apart from the fact that it was probably a gift from my SIL

I've scanned another old photo album from my collection, this one is from Geraldine, a town in the South Island of New Zealand.
So if you're from there, come help us do some detective work, the more we can find out the better!
I'll write a substack with the results later:
