Things I'm working on

I've got three main projects on the go at the moment:

Aidez by Cirilia Rose which I'm knitting up in our Brigantia Luxury Aran in 796,

Jacket with moss stich bands by Debbie Bliss in Rooster Baby (which knits to exactly the same tension as Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and is our gorgeous alternative to an equally gorgeous yarn) in 409.

And this little will, I'm sure, eventually be a beauty that I'm designing using our Rosarios4 Regata Cotton in 69.

Little gifts are sometimes the best.

I won't lie to you, I've been struggling with doing the stall recently. Things have been very slow at the market since winter and what with all the family stuff I have going on at the moment sometimes it's an effort to drag myself out of bed and load up the car and set up the stall. And then a friend pops by for a quick natter and a knit or one of our regulars pops by for a chat and I remember how lucky I am to be able to do this. On Saturday I was visited by my friend B and a couple of my lovely customers, Chiharu (whose knitting can be found Chiharu's hats) and Claudia who brought me a small gift - four plump, juicy, sweet plums just picked from her tree. Ahhhh...perfection. Thank you Claudia.
