Oak galls

yesterday  i was running around like a headless chicken embarrassing my children because I found hundreds and hundreds of oak galls! I normally only find a handful each year and I boil them up and dry them out and keep them for another year but this time I have got hundreds.  Going to do a fairIsle in graduated murky colours. Lush.

Little autumn top

Joining in with ginny on yarn along.. A funny little tank top that actually won't fit anybody I know so I think I'm going to felt it and even make a soft toys to go with it or find one that it fits

Eek steek

Joining ginny on yarn along.  

eek steek.. I've cut the steeks which was and is rather unnerving.  I have converted the pattern orkney by marie walling to being knit in the round and there are all sorts of odd steeks going on. I'm hoping they are not going to add too much bulk. As for reading.. well i'm not. I'm listening to loads of TED talks. Brilliant
