Creatures caught

Here are some of the creatures that ventured into the garden this summer-time to forage for food, dig up earth and generally scratch about in the sun. Seeing these animals throughout the day is such a highlight, making this garden ever so more magical...

Booties

I received news from a fellow artist now residing in Norway of a bump appearing. Liz was feeling the excitement of pitter-patters and so I set about knitting a set of booties to keep the pitter-pats warm in the cold nights of her ex-trainstation home by the coast. Since this project last year, I have made another set in the same wool, lovely Debbie Bliss Aran. The pattern came from a beginners knit book (highly recommended for anyone starting out). This time the booty set was for Viva's bumpetybum. I also transformed a little speaker box into the packaging using some inky stamps for decoration.

knitted cosy

Yarn forward has become a recent fascination, a good source of knitting delights. Issue 7 had the pattern for a cabled tea cosy made using double knit (two balls at once!) which I set about tackling, 5mm at the ready. Due to holes in the pockets these days the wool used isn't a favourite but it is sunny and bright for mornings waking up.

Garden growing

Remembering the beautiful garden where I spent my summer-time planting, sunning and watering... and the produce I created from seedling to fruits to food on the plate...

Calenture

Something is coming to the surface and I believe it to be a rather super-real way of life. I am due to join the 'boatin' community, skim it on the 'cut' living life ahead with Leigh. Delia will also be giving a star show, haunting all ships that sail by. The green fields inspire us to rename her so. From Dove of Belgrade, here is (we are thinking) Calenture.
