Where has the month gone?

Blanket going well. Willow pattern is easier than it looks. I now have the pattern committed to memory. Also knitted, yes knitted a heavy shawl designed to dress your bed in a boho style. Ive used yarn that was heading for the bin or wasn't quite good enough on its own ie too thin, poor texture etc. I have been using up a ton of this yarn and actually wore out a circular needle someone gifted me. This was almost the last row as it filled the replacement needles. Im loving the look. As for the rest of life, well the best I can say is we are still standing.

Card making using scraps and a yummy bag of yarn to make a vintage blanket. Struggling with lockdown or rather struggling with hubbys lockdown. Lucky we have psychiatric support and he gets a welfare check every week . Going to see Mum on Friday and stand outside her house as she is struggling too. Its true she has been through many things in her life but never alone. On a brighter note the poly tunnel has been a godsend and everything is thriving. Bumper crops we hope!  

Stitch, plant, knit, chocolate, repeat

Peas shoots Nasturtiums Bunting Stiutch Obviously no pics of any chocolate. I decided recently that this stash of mine sat in boxes is a bit sad. It needs to be used, out in the world. So Im making allsorts of gifts for friends and using the bunting in the poly tunnel. I also has some lights in little mason jars that I bought cheap so they adorn the poly tunnel too now. Its no use having things put away for the future when you don't know how that future will look. Next its pillowcase dresses for Beth, she already has a nice new string of bunting for their decking area at home.
