Someone isn't in the mood to be hand-fed today, but she's here to say hi (and to eat the mealworms I scattered on the ground). Look how well her tail feathers have regrown!

Just time for a couple of rounds of the new skirt colours before I begin work.
.
I think Robyn might be sulking because I didn't come out the second she appeared at the window. So now I'm sitting out here with her breakfast and she's elsewhere.

Not allowed to run yet post-surgery, but walking is encouraged. (This is about the tenth iteration of this mitten design, but I think I'm happy with the way it's going now.)

NEWSFLASH! I SAW ROBYN'S TWO BABIES! Pic 1: Robyn has breakfast. Pics 2&3: She brings her babies down. They're (wisely) very wary, so I had to leave a motion-activated camera outside in order to have a look. ❤️

Hello far-too-lovely folk. This one's about Robyn-the-robin. I haven't seen her for quite a while... and the last few times she visited, she really looked her age. Sorry to be the bearer of probably-bad news, but I think she's gone forever. 😢 And much as I like to think my heart is cold and impregnable, I really, really, REALLY miss her bold and cheeky attitude. I loved her more than was probably wise.

Sometimes, you just need a little bit of easy comfort-knitting. This will be a jumper. The yarn is @stylecraftyarns Dreamcatcher and I'm enjoying watching the colour shifts play out.

Erm, excuse me young lady, but you know you're not supposed to come into the house. Her latest trick is to come in and stand on the tub of mealworms whilst we're having a meal, staying there until someone feels guilty enough to get up and feed her.

Nobody will ever replace Robyn-the-robin, but this young-looking chap has begun following me round the garden yelling at me, and he's LOUD. He hasn't fed from my hand yet, but his cheeky confidence makes me wonder whether he's one of Robyn's children.

An afternoon in the New Forest, wandering amongst the semi-wild ponies. This one came to investigate whether my yarn was edible! Needed a portable knit, so I started a sock in some fiery @burrow_and_soar yarn. ❤️

What I didn't know was that my friend Jo has been secretly making an absolutely perfect model of Robyn-the-robin. Look what appeared on my doorstep yesterday! ❤️ I can only imagine how many hours must have gone in to all that embroidery. (Jo did admit that she has calluses on her hands as a result!) It's perfect and beautiful and I will treasure it forever. But I mustn't let the real Robyn catch sight of it!

Right, that's the knitting done. Now to finish a bit of strategic Swiss darning before I show you the finished cowl with a rather surprising design element, and publish the pattern. I've loved working with Stylecraft Highland Heathers*.

*Which I didn't pay for. But I've genuinely loved it anyway.
