This week’s been a bit of a funny one. It seems to have dragged at work and then gone super speedy in the evenings, leaving me a bit confused as to what the day is but very happy that it’s now Friday.
Things to smile about this week
1. My floral daps. I found them in the sale in Office’s kids section. I may not be able to wear them for another 6 months but when the spring arrives, I will have very happy feet.
2. The i-Touch shuffle function. Johnny Cash and the Rolling Stones followed by some classic Prodigy. Last night I was B’s assistant in the kitchen as he baked stuffed aubergines and we danced and sung as they cooked. Kitchen discos are so much fun.
3. Perfecting the mattress stitch. I knitted up some practice squares and spent the evening doing it again and again, feeling very happy with myself as each attempt got neater. Thank you to the awesome Meghan for your knitting advice.
4. Yummy treats from my husband. B stopped in Waitrose on the way home from work on Tuesday and bought me a cookie topped with Smarties. Edible surprises are always the best.
5. The fabric selection for my first ever quilt. Kathryn’s beautiful creations have inspired me and this weekend I’ll be making a start on my own. Wish me luck.
ps. I hope you all have a spookily magical Halloween on Sunday x
Love the floral daps! :) Have a fabulous weekend, sweetie! xoxo

ReplyDeleteAlso, you left me a comment asking if knitting in the round was easy to master, but I haven't tried it yet! But I just bought some double sided needles today so I could learn, so I will let you know how it goes! xoxo
Just got around to reading this! Thank you for the shout out :) I'm sure you have more than mastered the mattress stitch by now!!! Can't wait to see your quilt!! I want to make one soon as well! xo.
