Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I know I'm late again checking in but it's been another very busy month I'm afraid....
So this is my second time taking part in

And 'Yes' I actually did remember to check in again and 'Yes' I have yet another start and more importantly another finish!....

Gifted Gorgeousness 2018 - February

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
This month, although a little late I'm joining in with Jo from Serendipitous Stitching who hosts Gifted Gorgeousness....
This is where you can share the stitching projects which you have been given as a gift or you intend as a gift for someone else....
There are lots of ways to shoehorn a project into Gifted Gorgeousness.....

• Any chart/kit which was given to you
• Any chart/kit which you won in a giveaway
• Any chart/kit which you bought using a voucher given to you/won by you
• Anything stitched on fabric received in the above ways
• Anything stitched with floss received in the above ways
• Anything embellished or finished with items received in the above ways
• Anything which is intended as a gift or prize for another person
• Anything else you can somehow shoehorn with word "gift" into!

This month I haven't managed to do very much in the way of stitching as I have been knitting away as though my life depended on it.....I am determind to finish my 

Shawl Of Secrets

I'm well on my way with this now....
I have only managed to add a few more stitches to my 
 ABC chart from Bent Creek 

Not much progress but it has been a very busy month in one way or another...
So now I need to see what everyone else has been working on for Gifted Gorgeousness.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

A Little Trip To London...

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well and managing to stay warm.
We took a little trip to London at the weekend....mainly to see....well actually.....to see Jeff Tweedy at the Barbican which I thoroughly enjoyed I might add.....
But I did manage to weedle my way to taking a small detour (the less said about 'small' detour) to....
LOOP

Oh my word what a joy this lovely shop is. Yarny heaven and the ladies were so helpful....especially to a knitting novice like myself...
Thank you ladies for such a fabulous glimpse into knitting heaven....
Needless to say I came away a very happy bunny with three wonderful patterns (which I'm sure I will get my head around)....and two lots of the most fabulous yarn.....I will share these in my next post when I can get some decent light for a passable photograph...
I also managed to watch my beloved rugby on Saturday then leaving King's Cross on Sunday on an early train....

To be back home with perfect timing for the England match and a lovely dinner made by mum and dad....
And of course the match result made for the end of my perfect weekend.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.
