A little something to keep me busy


Isn't he gorgeous?  I'm not a brilliant (or fast) knitter, but this waif and stray came home with me from my friend Annie's cottage yesterday.  He needs to be finished, and as Annie's daughter can't knit, I found my voice saying that I would have a go!


Here he is with his jumper on.


You may remember the beautiful wool embroidery that Annie had been trying to finish (it's for a Fire Screen).  I have said I will complete this too.  Not much to do - just a bit of pink on the infill of the flower top left, and some yellow to echo the black in the border.


This is one of the books I have been given from Annie's full bookshelves.  I have not come across this one before but it is excellent.  I must look out for her other gardening books now too.

Look out for photos from Badminton Horse Trials next week, as I am staying with a friend and going to X-country day tomorrow.  Have a good weekend.
