A Kiwi searching for a hot coffee in London. Doomed, in other words
Stitch night at the Tea House Theatre with the Musselburgh hat that I cast on pretty much as soon as the first one was finished. Loving the colour changes in this Scheepjes Whirl.

For reasons known only to my subconscious, I hate putting buttons on projects. But I was very well-behaved and added the buttons as soon as this was off the blocking mats. Present for dad ✅️

My poor partner probably thought he was getting this corner of the lounge back. Unfortunately for him, my Musselburgh Hat was ready just as my Perfecto Cowl hat dried. 😂

Starting off the second half of my Musselburgh hat with this lovely, sparkly (not that you can tell from the pic) blue yarn. No idea where it came from, apart from the fact that it was probably a gift from my SIL

I've scanned another old photo album from my collection, this one is from Geraldine, a town in the South Island of New Zealand.
So if you're from there, come help us do some detective work, the more we can find out the better!
I'll write a substack with the results later:

Enjoying a week off and jumping on the Musselburgh bandwagon. These lovely mini skeins came from For The Love of Yarn in some Christmas baubles she did years ago.

I'm always up for a bit of train knitting and this was a nice little project to take with me! A cowl that is a present for my dad, so luckily none of my family is on Bluesky 😂

For this week's #showmeyourknits I've chosen the Rose Window beret that I made for my MIL's birthday this year. I'm not really one for hats or I'd make one for myself too!

For this week's #showmeyourknits I have absolutely nothing in white but I do have this lovely Vertical Rib sweater. The bright yarn is from Sealy Macwheely's Kickstarter 6/7 years ago. She's a lovely Scottish yarn dyer and spinner!

My two-tone Fluffy Ass Brioche Cardigan is coming along rather nicely. A perfect squishy cardigan for winter 😍

Not to self: never look at a pension statement when you've only been contributing for a year 🙈 (only because I haven't transferred over the one from my previous job 😂)

I've done a fair bit of train knitting in my time but this is my first go at bus knitting. Lucky to grab that front seat spot!

Somehow our corner of the table at knitting group ended up being the winging it corner. Not a pattern in sight! And somehow this is turning out how I pictured it in my head

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

My first attempt at a thrummed sock is almost done! These are going to be so toasty and warm in the winter 😍
