Me Made May day 6.

Another glorious day, the dogs had an extended walk this morning. The sun had brought lots of new dog walkers with new dogs to meet and greet. Herbie was beside himself with joy, he wagged his tail non stop and was very enthusiastic and friendly with his greetings. He did have to take a step or two backwards upon meeting a very long legged Doberman but they had a play. He went off his lead for the first time as we were in a secure area and I knew many of the dogs there and all of them are quick to return when called.

We have a date for tomorrow morning as more fine weather is forecast.

As it is a sunny Sunday I pulled clothes out from the back of my wardrobe.

A few years ago I saw butterfly fabric in shop windows, made into dresses, skirts, tops, shorts etc. But no matter where I looked for fabric I could not find it at all.

Then when shopping in Asda I spotted duvet cover sets in shades of blue, in a butterfly print. Of course I bought one, after touching the fabric to see if it was good or just cheap and nasty. It was not bad at all so once cut in halves, I washed and pressed it and set to drafting a circular skirt pattern. I was too impatient to get it made to line it but made a petticoat later.

Then because I did not want to waste any fabric I made a little bolero style jacket, I did fully line that. I have worn them many times, both together and as separates.

I did use most of the fabric as it made linings for bags and the remainder went into a patchwork cushion for the grandchildrens tee pee.

I am knitting a pair of long scrappy socks for a friend and loving it.

BUT.

I caught a you tube video showing how to knit toe up, two at a time socks with the Fleegle heel. That heel has been on my to do list for a while soooo this evening I may just cast on a pair for myself.

Photo,s tomorrow of whatever I manage to do.

It is getting close to lunch time so I am off to cast my eyes over the fridge contents, I have no idea what dinner will be, something light with salad probably..

I am off to Tesco later so may have a look at the RTC shelf.
