An odd weekend

 Trying to catch up with bits and pieces.  At least I FINALLY got the Jumbleberry jam remade today so can take it down to my friend who ordered it.  

Here's what I began recently, to brighten up the steps from yard to garden. Just the most common of Alpines, but they are sat on just a little soil and compost, then rock! I'm hoping they will cope.

I began to add another row to the sashing strip on the wretched crawler quilt  and it's shot - too long.  I have really and truly screwed up with the whole thing and have just been unpicking that offensive row.  Back to it in the morning.  I unpicked and reset two central motifs too as they looked not 100% square.  Mind you, as Danny said today, any slight OCD tendencies I may have developed over the years have brass knobs on nowadays!  Stress I guess. Concentration in my brain seems to have Gone Missing.

E working on the revamp of the Summerhouse.  WHAT a difference it makes to have it that dark green.  The white has only ever been undercoat so that needs rubbing down and having a top coat.

I watched the jumps racing with Keith this afternoon and actually go my head around the Elderberry Bunny increases in the pattern (literally from the get-go).  With little "I" here, prattling on beside me last week, I stood no chance as you have to count stitches for the increases (8 stitches with increase 1, knit 1 in a block etc).  Now I've done the foot and have started on the leg and am enjoying it.  It's for Rosie-Posie, as I call her, hoping she will be Rosina as there are nearly a dozen who went before her.  I will make another for "I" but it won't be in time for Easter as I'm SUCH a slow knitter.  I won't give her this one as she loves pink and this is creamy white with understated ashes-of-roses pink feet (this from two skeins of tapestry wool.  I didn't want baby pink).  I will do a brighter pink for "I" and may even do the whole bunny pink.  Like her mum, it's their favourite colour.

This is just the first coat.

We have a quiet household as "I" went to stay with her father yesterday, and D&E are off to a music gig tonight, staying over with friends.  I am praying Keith and I will have no problems getting him to bed, but I can tell you now, he's going up straight after our evening meal, just in case! T&J arrive tomorrow with a riser-chair so that should be a game-changer for us, as getting him out of his current chair and into the wheelchair at night can be challenging sometimes.

Back to my knitting this evening, and I may have a Brew Dog IPA as it's the weekend, and hopefully I am on the mend now.  Have a good weekend.
