For the time being we seem to have been reconnected - but not sure who with! will find out when the bill lands :D, not going to miss up on the chance to say hello, thank you and waffle a little. It seems ages since I did that.
Thought I'd share yesterday's highs and lows.
The highs?
A rather misty and ethereal walk over the tops to Wycoller and back - incredibly atmospheric, incredibly wet and strangely warm.
And the lows?
My crochet blanket seemed to start so well, I was flying with it - regularly counting the stitches on each row to ensure all was well. Which it was for about 20 or so rows. Then I stopped counting, following the pattern but not the stitch count .... until the blanket was about a metre in height - so about 58-60ish rows I realised I had lost a stitch or two...ok, better honest....I'd lost twenty (yes 20) somewhere along the line.
I rolled up my 'triangular' work and put in the basket and walked away.
Then the internet took a nose dive. The first day I scribbled and sketched like mad and borrowed the free wifi from the local library however eventually I returned to blanket.
Last night I unpicked over 30 rows - saved all the different colours and wound them up in little cute balls (had to make something positive out of it!) Any hoo, I have returned to the discipline of row/stitch counting and - guess what!? (sigh) it is straight.... lesson learnt.
The more observant will have noticed a new list, most of the works have a couple of different meanings - so it should be fun to see how you interpret them :)
Here is a reminder - a photo inspired by a word, words inspired by the photo. One from your archives, a freshly snapped one this month - try to think outside the box, we will share and show our photos and stories at the end of the month. Until then xxx
Mark
Straw
Arm
Duck/s
Window
My own choice

Really enjoyed seeing your misty photos.
ReplyDeleteNew words already! You are on the ball. I've got ideas for 3 of them.... Do you mean arm or arch? I know someone's husband is called Mark so I could .... then again I could not!
ReplyDeleteAs for your blanket, what a shame you had to pull so much of it back. Makes me more determined to count at the end of every row and not become complacent.....
Well spotted - it is arm :)
DeleteThanks for the clarification; I can now amend my list!
DeleteLove your misty pictures and especially the one of the mealie mouthed pony taking it easy! X
