My Poor Neglected Blog

do all thingswith love (1)

Did you see the Tumbleweed rolling lazily by just then?

My blog has sat dejected and unloved for some time now.  So much so, that I’ve even been toying with putting a stop to my rambles and searching for something new.  It’s always been the closest thing I have to keeping a journal about my creative life, mixed in with a little more of me than I originally intended to share.

However, like a lot of things in my life at the moment, it could do with a good shake to get the dust off and then leaving outside to air for a few hours.

Glorious Sunny Sunday Afternoon

I have just got back from the most glorious dog walk on the farm, I was so warm and cosy, that it’s quite difficult to think of it as December.  Cuppa brewed and Gluten Free Hobnob at the ready, it’s time for a little blog update, with Spotify for musical accompaniment.

At this time of the year I should really be listening to Christmas songs, but it feels more like a Mamas & Papas sort of day, with the December sun shining through my office windows.

I’m still not completely convinced by these photos.  In my head, I know exactly what I’m after, but it’s not coming out quite as I’ve planned it.

Blimey! It’s been a pretty bonkers few weeks round here and in all honesty there really hasn’t been any time to blog.

There can be no more excuses though, as I really couldn’t delay posting about Blacker Yarns Brushwork on the Olann and Blog any longer and to do that, I kind of needed to post here too.

Sunshine & Sprinkles KAL Kicks Off

As far as my blog goes, I think it might be best if I write September off.  For some reason I just haven’t been able to get my $#&% together enough to sit down and type, even though I’ve had tonnes of things I want to talk about.

It’s the first day of a new month, so I’m hoping that’s enough of an incentive for me to pull my finger out (here’s hoping) and get back into my usual blogging rhythm.

Oh my god I spelt rhythm correctly without spell check.  It’s the little things.

All About the Socks

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they’ve taken three steps forward, but two steps back of late?

Honestly it sums up my daily life at the moment in a nutshell and I don’t even seem to be able to get my knitting to behave?

The last few days have been rather busy and my knitting time has been a bit sparse.  What little I’ve had, was given over to serious swatch knitting for the Olann and Yarn Reviews.  We’ve been sent some right lovelies to share with our readers in the next issue and so far, I’ve knitted eight up.  I’m pretty sure there’s at least two more to arrive and then they’ll be done.  Just have to write about them now.
