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...

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.

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.

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.

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. ...

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*

OK then, here are the grapevine socks that I designed for the latest knitting box by @littleboxofcrochet . I also designed some striped socks, in case stranded isn't your thing.

Amanda is a genius at putting together exquisitely beautiful boxes full of beauty and treats. It's been a big yarny honour to design for her.

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.

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*.
