@karenyeahyeah.bsky.social I suspect you might know something about this. Did you knit it yourself? It's very fine work.

And here it is! It was worth waiting for! My hand knitted mouse head brooch. Isn't it wonderful! Such fine knitting, such intricate details. I am a knitter but I haven't the patience for this. Well done, Secret Santa. Well done!

My lovely East Friesian wether, Bunter, got skin cancer in the NZ sun. Admittedly, he was 12-years-old, bless him.

I ticked off a major life goal today! I have always wanted to knit myself a Fair Isle sweater. I gave myself three months and I've just squeaked in on schedule. I'm chuffed to little meatballs, as they used to say on Coro Street!

So, I set myself a goal for my project of three months. Started Jan 1st, and I've come in right on schedule the final day of March. It's in 4 ply wool, and is my adaption of a Marie Wallin pattern.

Not quite so youthful these days. This is a recent photo of Mischief, aged 14, with the WORST haircut

I've started the day with a wee slice of panforte. I'm particularly proud of this because for the first time I was able to make it with almonds and hazelnuts that I grew myself!

What a beauty. This discussion of Blokes' Sheds reminded me I have this photo of me on a beehive making workshop in shed. I was absolutely petrified of using the drop saw.
