knitting, nature and living with autism in the family
First take some good quality yarn (here I’ve used some Sublime organic cotton)
pour into bowl and stir vigorously to encourage lumps
shape, place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at gas mark 3
et voila!
Oh I wish it was that easy! Here’s the evidence though that there is some bunny production going on in these here parts! And the bunnies have a new friend too, so if you’re around early next week pop back and meet him. Happy weekend all!
…but not exactly of the kind I had in mind!
I had to take Amy to have a tooth out at the end of last week. So we got to spend an hour together, just her and me – and the dentist! Poor kid had a cracked molar and developed an abcess. Still she was incredibly brave and over the weekend we did manage to make some time together to do something a bit more fun:
We played spas and had manicures, cucumber facials and massages – which was much closer to what I’d orginally had in mind!
The wintery dark may be getting me down but looking ahead and thinking of the warm and fragrant days of spring is a good way to get through this gloomy bit of the year! So I’ve been looking ahead to Easter and have written up a free pattern for my knitted easter eggs.
You can find it alongside some new charts for knitted letters and some older free patterns. If you knit up the eggs, drop me a line and let me know how you get on.
It’s funny how out of sync my knitting is these days. Back in the summer when the sun shone and there were green and glossy leaves on the trees, I sat in the garden and knitted little nordic
jumpers and christmas stockings. Now in the dark and dingy days of
January I’m snuggled up here busy with egg cosies and knitted easter eggs! Maybe it will help to bring spring early – I better get cracking!
