Much of the last eleven days has been spent glued to the telly (yet again), avidly following the ups, downs, tears and triumphs of the Paralympics. All of that telly watching did enable some crafting to be started (and finished) - a second crocheted blanket, for Boo this time, who sneakily settles down on the sofa after we've gone to bed, and, for me, a cowl and mittens. These were quick and easy knits, on two needles as I'm not up for the challenge of grappling with knitting in the round. Butterflies eventually appeared on the buddleias in the garden and there's been evidence of much activity in the fields round about, providing opportunities for a bit more practice with the new camera. I decided The Dress (mentioned in the previous post) is a keeper, brazenly ignoring the little voice in my head muttering something about mature sheep. I'm certainly not modelling it for you (oh, your poor eyes if I did) but there's a sneak peak of the fabric below and a full length version (with the black tights I'm planning to wear) here.
