Of Course it Did.

Rain, that is, it is a Bank Holiday so it has to rain, it must be the Law as it mostly does in the UK.
Ben doesn't care, he got the first 2 walks in the dry spells and it is quite warm.
I don't care, I have knitting and sewing on the go and today,s chores are done.
The SO doesn't care, he has completed his latest model and has a new game on his phone to do battle with....waste of time in my book but hey ho each to their own, and it does no harm to anybody.

We had planned to be in the garden if the rain stayed away but there is time in the rest of the week.

Knit and Natter tomorrow, and next Saturday is Yarn Shop Day so I expect to be in Llandeilo for a little while at least. (spell check thinks that I am going to lowlander!!)

The Flax sweater body will be finished today and the sleeve stitches picked up. I want to put a little work into the Snowflake as well.
 I also have the yarn and pattern ready for a pair of socks to cast on for Francesca,s birthday bag. The yarn is a Fabel print in pinks, yellow, creams, and some blue, the colour number is 903 and has been earmarked for Fran since buying it.
The pattern is a new release today, called "To Love and to Cherish" by Ellie Jones and is free on ravelry. It was written to help celebrate her upcoming Wedding, next weekend!
 It is very pretty and she is running a Kal in which it could figure. pop along to her You Tube channel, Craft House Magic and have a look.  
She is a very talented Crafter and she is from Norfolk to boot. Her wedding dress is amazing and all hand made by Ellie.

Dinner tonight is being prepped and cooked by the SO, exiting stuff I love cooking but it is great to be cooked for occasionally.

He is a very talented cook and does spend lots of time in the kitchen. Most of our meals are a joint effort and we keep our eyes open for new ingredients when ever we are out and about.

I don't think that I will be buying yarn for some time. Not only is every inch of storage space full to overflowing but I have 7 project bags lined up. Each has pattern and yarn, some have the needles as well.
 The first one is ready for tonight, Fran's socks, I want a small project for tomorrow, the Flax is huge and the Snowflake pattern too intense for group knitting.

You saw the Wonderwool haul and that is only a small part of the full stash. It,s a bit scary to tell the truth, I probably have a years knitting there.

But Deb,s has some lovely yarn in her shop........Nuff Said.


I am off to my sewing now and then a little knitting while my dinner is being cooked, how lush is that.

  1. We had some rain this morning, it's dull and overcast here, but for the sake of our gardens I would love a huge storm.

    1. We had rain just twice in April and this is Wales, we need rain but once it comes we will probably get waterlogged. Feast or famine every time.

  3. I think it's Sod's Law Pam.
    We had quite heavy rain early morning but it has kept dry most of the rest of the day except for a short shower so Andy could have painted the stair rails after all.

    Just finishing cooking the tea and then I am determined to do something fabricky-x-

  4. Gosh, the stash must be staggering if even you are admitting it now!!

    Don't worry, you have a year's wonderful crafting ahead of you and I can barely find time to sew on a button at the moment!! Yarn envy . . .

    1. I will try to find the time, and courage,to have a count up one of these days. I hazard a guess that there is enough sock yarn for 30 pairs and possibly 7 sweater quantities.

  5. I am happy to say for the first time since we moved here there has been no rain at all, all day. We have been out and about with the sun shining.

  6. Grey & gloomy most of today...then a spot of sun and now clouds again. Salmon ready to bake and Brussels sprouts. Yum. I'm more than halfway through a wrap I'm working on. Mindless knitting. Socks are waiting.

    1. There is a tutorial post quite a way back with oodles of photos, it is a simple make and you can alter the sizes for lots of different uses.
