I set off for my week away full of wonderful plans to stitch ferocious beastie for Amos , all kitted all my silkies etc etc etc..
settled down at mums the night before we flew out to start it, and discovered the chart was not in the folder of charts i had…
So after a minor petit tantrum…lol i rallied and picked through the charts in the to do folder and the random mystery mini’s in the bottom of my stitching bag and started the chart i won as a door prize in the recent online stitching show
Spring Lace from Whispered by the wind stitched on 45 ct navy bean graziano linen ( dyed by lakeside linen) 1×2 with a girly pinky peachy mystery spool …. the colour is a bit off… the linen is more cream, the colours more peachy

I also knitted a big chunk of a second scarf for michele, not the one i intended to start, but the wool michele had chosen did not match the design so i went with a new design.. the wool is gorgeous, Colinette’s Jitterbug in Sweet Dreams , which is a perfect spring colour for those snowy days she has in spring … the pattern  is called
Column of leaves

she recommends pressing it after knitting an di can see why…
but paul wanted to try out his new phone camera… so that is where the pics came from.. pretty good really…

sorry to all who have been waiting for me to email them etc.. i have done my usual and come back form a trip and been really sick with a migraine and sinus issues … i should be back to normnal tomorrow and doing BB stuff etc
