Knitweave and some sewing projects

I had a lovely day demonstrating machine knitting to the members of the Stratford upon Avon WSD guild. It was the first time I've ever done a hybrid demonstration - some members were on Zoom - and I think perhaps the bandwidth wasn't great for that. I'm hoping that it got recorded and that the Zoomers can rewatch it without all the awful audio glitches. I took lots of sample garments and quickly demonstrated a bit of knitweave.

Eddie doesn't like storms, he spent most of Storm Eunice hiding in our wardrobe. Well, that and we had a gas fire engineer in to service the fireplace, and he hates disruptions, doorbells and visitors.

I sewed these trousers some time in the summer of 2021, and then never got around to taking a picture - I need to fix one of the hems but otherwise they're wearable.

I feel like my mojo has finalled started to come back a bit - I've almost finished a crocheted gift for a friend, there will be a picture of that soon. There are lots of bulbs coming up in the garden. 

Current mood: enthralled
