Time Out.


My silence has genuinely been golden! I have spun my threads, stirred pots, tended vegetables and labelled jars filled with summer. The sun brings me just about to the beginning again.
I have taken time to work my way through a basketfulful of expectant projects this winter, and am very nearly at the end of them. I have finished a crochet blanket which, initially, was just a knee warmer to use up some sale wool. HA HA HA! I just carried on, ordered more wool to satisfy my pleasure and, now I wrap myself in a full size nursing home blanket that has cost a fortune!
If I can learn how to, despite being shown, I will put up a photo of "The Shrug" happily finished. After the initial melt-down, I knew that pattern so well that I could hold a six way conversation and knit at the same time! Boy, did it cause me grief and upset to begin with.
And so, my seeds unfurl themselves and spring blue canvas skies stretch before me.
Happy spring time all!
