Tea and knitting
Is there anything to beat a bit of tea and knitting?
Tea and knitting with a kindred spirit? Lovely. I can’t think of a nicer way to spend the afternoon and rest my leg at the same time. Although it has to be said that Mel and I didn’t actually do any knitting – but we did discuss knitting at length, ooh and aah over current projects and Mel was kind enough to decipher my unintelligible German pattern (in the twinkling of an eye I should add – clever girl!).
I also discovered that one front of my cardigan is, ooh, a good inch shorter than it should be. No idea how that happened as I’m sure I measured a lot. Sorting out that little mishap is first on my list today – which I’m fired with enthusiasm about as I now know what to do next!!
You might want to take a look at Mel and her knitting over at The Little Washhouse. She’s made some absolutely adorable baby shoes for her new granddaughter Mireille.
Mel and I actually met because she read my blog and we discovered that we only live about an hour or so apart. Our paths would probably never have crossed otherwise. It has been so nice to discover someone else here who shares my woolly fixations and doesn’t think I’m bonkers. She may be the only one, mind you!
Thank you for the hyacinths Mel. A first taste of spring…or a little bit of hope that spring will arrive eventually!

That is so sweet, thanks! It’s wonderful to have made a new friend who is so on the same wavelength and doesn’t live far away – yay (although it has to be said that that depends on the route one takes… I was home in a considerably shorter time LOL!!).
Three cheers for woolly fun and 2012 adventures…!!!

How lovely to see hyacinths! I expect ours will be out soon, the way this strange warm winter is going. I’ve got cracking on some knitting again after a bit of a break – socks of course! And you’re quite right, a cuppa and knitting take some beating.

Sounds like a perfect afternoon – hope your knee is doing better!

I agree with Annabella – a perfect afternoon! I’m intrigued about the knitting pattern … I love a mystery and knew Mel would be able to solve it … She’s a font of all knowledge for me too š Can’t wait to see the results! Hoping your recovery is as swift as Mel’s knitting needles! x

What a lovely story of meeting Mel. It’s always nice to have a friend who shares your passion for knitting, sewing, crafting, photography…whatever your passion might be.
What did the doctor say about your knee?
