My first entry
And I can't think what to say. My mind is a total blank, where usually it is full of nappies and knitting which are almost perminatly on my brain.
Today has been a lovely day, met up with one of my best friends and walked to treaddurbay with my daughter. She was made up when we finally got to her house, she has a beautiful wooden floor which as my DD discovered makes a wonderfully fun stomping sound if she walked in a certain way kept her ammused for ages.
DH took my son fishing, but caught nothing apart from some seaweed. They had a good time, they really seam to have a taste for it now. We have 6 macerall in the freezer from there last trip.
Today I have spent 2 hours doing the house work, I really wish I wouldn't let things mount up. Washed 2 loads of nappies and watched them blow in the wind while I cleaned the kitchen, sucha rewarding sight.
Have also done lots of knitting, an inch on the back of a jumper I have promised myself for over a year, it's made with a nice variated all seasons cotton, shade - slash.
2 inches on a beautiful scarf pattern with lornas laces sock yarn in a beautiful cranberry colour , kindly brought by my summer secret santa :0)
It was suppose to be knitted on 4mm needles, but decided that it looked far to baggy and messy so switched to 3mm which has given it a much neater look does mean that it is narrow measuring only 5 and a quarter inches wide when pattern states 8 inches wide. Apparently it is fashionable to have long thin scarfs, just hope I have enough of the wool to make it to a decent length. This is my first proper attempt at something with lacey detail.
Have also done some work, sewn the waist band of 3 pairs of shorts and almost finished a small soaker.
Considering I didn't know what to say I haven't shut up yet, really could talk the hind legs of a donkey
