We were low on firewood again, so Cousin Jeff (still with broken leg) arranged a drop off for us yesterday! I got half stacked before dark which was good – as it rained for most of today so at least a good portion of it is under cover!
I still knit or crochet in the evenings when watching something on telly. All very cosy with husband, cat & fire.
I knitted my Dad a beanie – I wasn’t sure if the colour was ok for him, but I sent him a photo and got a thumbs up. Hopefully it fits!
I used hand spun & dyed wool that I sometimes buy locally. Its beautiful to knit with.
I love wearing beanies, so I thought it was time to actually make myself something (for a change!) So I got all the scrap bits of the nice wool and got knitting. I really wanted a slouchy beanie… so I made it quite long.
It was pretty funny as it didn’t so much as ‘slouch’ as stick straight up!!!
So I didn’t close the top and dragged my ponytail through it.
That’s me! All style!
I must say it is delightfully warm and cosy!
Now I can get back onto my gloves and shawls!
Oh – I did make some hot sauce today. I can’t tell you how it tastes. I am sure my tastebuds will return to normal by tomorrow!
I will take a bottle down to Cousin Jeff who says he likes nuclear-level chilli, so we shall see …
Hope your day was great too!
Cheers!
Look out cousin Jeff, I can feel the heat from here…lol?
lol
Love your Dads new beanie n yours too!! Sour does look warm. Your firewood will be nice to have on cold nights. Hope your garden gets an early start with lots of goodness for u n urs!!!
Thanks Linda. I’ll certainly be using my beanie today – not sure if I will be out in the garden tho. It doesn’t stay clear for long enough!! grrr 🙂 Still…. its only August so its just me being impatient!
