Robyn is being what the twinnage would describe as 'skittish' at the moment. I suspect that now her babes have fledged, she's less desperate for food from any source. It's so very good to see her and know that she's safe, however.

Here's a quick tip. If stitches slip off your need

Here's a quick tip. If stitches slip off your needles when your knit-in-progress is squashed into your bag, try this easy solution. Loop a hairband around the cable just below the needles and pull through tightly. Works like a dream to hold your knitting secure, and can be undone in a moment. Some types of hairbands work better than others.
.
So now, my hair is a mess, but at least my knitting is tidy!
.
Yarn = @stylecraftyarns Dreamcatcher. No, I didn't pay for it, but I did pay for the needles, AND the hairband.

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!
