As you can see, the caravan isn't massive, it's going to be very 'cosy' at Woolfest!! Please excuse the pic of topless hubby, he was slaving over a hot stove at the time!!
I finally got my shawl blocked, and persuaded my dear daughter to model it!
I'm really pleased with it, the border really made a difference when I FINALLY sussed it out. I'm still not sure if it's on backwards, but it looks OK!
I also knitted a couple of the Booga bags, which are drying post-felting as we speak. This is what one looked like before felting.
I've also been playing with my new toy, the swift! It's absolutely brilliant! It winds a skein in no time. I wound three yesterday, Two Jitterbugs from Colinette and my precious Socks That Rock! The colours really complemented each other and I couldn't resist taking a photo.
I'm knitting socks in Regia 4 ply at the moment, I started them at last Fridays KnitnNatter, which was a lovely morning as usual. Bev gave me two of the dinkiest pens I have ever seen! Thank you again Bev! I've always been fascinated by miniatures. I love the mini wheel that Artis-Anne recently bought too!
Speaking of gifts,inkyartitude gave me a belated birthday pressie of some beautiful metallic acrylic paints, in gorgeous colours. Thank you again Lynn!
Aren't they beautiful? Can't wait to use them! Just need more hours in the day!
I'll leave you with some pics from our garden, after a light shower. The spooky thing was, Carrie Anne showed me some pics she'd taken of flowers and they were the same flowers that I'd taken pics of! Spooky!!I've put the photo of the Grape Hyacinth on, even though it's blurred, just so Carrie Anne can see the coincidence for herself!
P.S. Thanks for all your wonderful comments, they really mean a lot.

Your shawl is just amazing - imagine wearing it when we are on Fair Isle - and then when we're at WoolFest :D
Love the pic of Coniston Water, that's beautiful.

The shawl is fabuloso. I'm really proud of you! Love the flower pics. ian is a fine figure of a man. He's just showing off 'cos he lost his stone!
That shawl is tres beautiful! Looks (by the photo) and sounds like you had a wonderfully relaxing time at Coniston. Fab pics and hope you have a great time at Woolfest!
The shawl is beautiful. I think the knitted on border of the CLSS is so lacy that no one would ever know which way round it was supposed to be. It was as much as I could manage to knit it in the right direction!!
:)
What a beautiful shawl, and such lovely colours. And lucky you, having a break when the weather was so very nice.
Fab photography Kat........ Love the shawl, it looks great on here but is even more wonderful when you get to 'touchy feely'. So pleased that you had a lovely break away.
