For those of you remember Robyn-the-robin (my cheeky avian friend who fed from my hand and generally bossed me about for two summers), you may be interested in this. Here's a fledgling robin who hasn't even got his/her red chest yet, but follows me VERY closely around the garden. We've just had a little chat over some mealworms, and I'm optimistic that we'll be friends.

Crochet version of Covid hat is very much in progress. Knit and crochet patterns to come. Not visible in photo: all the chaos around me because I've been neglecting the stuff I ought to be doing!

Have yarn, will travel. Today I peeled the twinnage off their screen and took them to the Cotswold Falconry Centre. They LOVE birds of prey, so this was always going to be a win. Fab day had by all.

Someone's beginning to get her red breast feathers. ❤ Unlike Robyn-the-robin and Robinson, this one isn't interested in mealworms. Instead she follows me so closely around the garden that I often nearly step on her. As I pull up weeds and move pots around, she darts in to grab caterpillars and other critters. Sometimes, one of the twinnage comes to tell me that she's waiting by the back door, so I have to go and do a bit of weeding, just to please her. So once again, I'm being bossed about by somebody three inches tall. *sigh*

Better pics to come on a brighter day, but it's done! My design to reflect how Covid has trampled all over everything this year. Pics show Covid thingies before and after Swiss darning, so you can see how design works. PATTERN AVAILABLE VERY SOON! (Can also be worn as skirt... just about - see final pic.) Yarn is Stylecraft Highland Heathers.

I usually just post stuff like this at my garden account - @the.twisted.garden - but I thought you might appreciate the colour.

Love this time of year, because there are so many different crops to be picked. Today: cabbage, beans, peas, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, patty pan squash, opium poppies (for seed), plums, Japanese wineberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Yum. ...

Corrugated rib. The trickiest bit of this technique is finding a third hand to hold the camera.

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*.

In today's edition of never-not-knitting, I had a spare half hour between appointments in Oxford, so I went to #wolvercotelakes. Love this place, but I hadn't been for ages. Lots of dragonflies and damselflies and butterflies.

When you're procrastinating about the things you should be doing, so you get out the blanket you crocheted in 2014 to start weaving in the 4000 ends (NOT an exaggeration) of slippery cotton yarn. Currently working at approximately 120 ends per hour. That means it'll take over 33 hours...

Please allow me to introduce you to Wilfred. He (or she) is one of Robyn-the-robin's grandchildren. S/he's currently hiding behind various objects in the garden near his/her one - or possibly two - sibling(s) - also called Wilfred, because they're indistinguishable from each other. (Hmm, maybe I should have taken that approach to naming with my own identical twins...)
.
ANYWAY, I thought you'd like to meet little Wilfred. Robinson and his wife are very proud parents, and they seem to trust me near their precious children, which I'm taking as the greatest honour.

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.

This is going to sound like a paid advert, but I swear that it's not. I've just stumbled across a website called @YarnSub and it's awesome! You can enter the name of any yarn and it'll give you the best possible substitutions with a % match score based on gauge, texture, fibre, etc. See https://yarnsub.com and enjoy! ...
