Knitting
On my YOP list is āfrog my Pinwheel mittenā. This was a kit I bought at Loop London a few years ago and I knitted the first colour work mitten, using the lace-weight yarn! BUTā¦it was too small and I realised I donāt like the pattern.
This was how the mitten had looked, finished week 37 of YOP13.
This week I frogged it and it felt a relief to be honest. I have a colourwork mitten book that I am sure will have a lace weight pattern, so one day I will knit a pair from that book.
On Monday I cast on Emotional Support Chicken #6. I need to spin some red fibre for her wattle and comb, then attach the eyes and do her base and then she will be finished! I came across the missing chicken eyes I ordered ages ago, they were in a different project bag. I will post a photo of her next Sunday.
Spinning
No spinning this week, my usual Sunday call was cancelled and Tuesdayās spin group was at a friendās but with me changing my working hours for this week and dog sitting I didnāt make it there.
Other News
We have been looking after my bossesā dog and as they are away I have worked different hours than usual to make sure we had more than one of us in the building at a time. This and the dog walking really messed with my routine (and energy) and our laundry mountain is ready to topple over.
We have had a nice time looking after her though, we took her to the beach, river Ness, the care home to see my MIL, on tons of walks and she came out for lunch with us twice. I hand her back tomorrowā¦assuming they landed safely back home after the storms.
On Thursday night we went to see Roachford followed by Hue and Cry (2hrs 45 mins of live music). It was a good evening and took me back to the days of working in a pub/restaurant in the 1980s.
