A sneaky look at something I've been working on in little bits here and there
I've been finding it hard to sleep lately so I've been using the wee hours to get some super chill sewing time in and I'm really happy with how it's turning out 💕

I've been spending as much time as humanly possible down the allotment this spring and summer, every time I'm there I find 100 more jobs to do and I've been getting good 3-5 hour sessions in 💪 the weeds have always been a nightmare to get under control but part of that is learning to let it go. I always see so many bugs down the plot, it makes me really happy to see nature flourishing somewhere 🐛🦋🐝🌱 I've always known I need to stay active and traditional forms of exercise don't really make me feel very good about myself, but I know when I come home shattered and covered in mud, and I feel so positive, I know getting an allotment was one of the best decisions I've ever made 🥰🥰🥰 I'd highly recommend it

That's a lot of strawberries! 😵 After eating myself and pawning off the first lot to my parents, I decided to make strawberry and rhubarb jam 🥰 all grown on the allotment 💗🌱🍓🐝🦋🐛

Soooooo yeah we got a kitten! His name is Ozzy and he's 4 months old. His current obsession is the bathroom (I think he wants to know if the water is coming back from the plughole)
He also loves strokies and climbing our floor length curtains. It's really quite impressive 😆✨

Finished off this beast last night! The Hawthorne Cape from Rowan 50 by Marie Wallin using Sirdar Jewelspun in Setting Sun
This was a bit of a challenge for me as I'd never attempted a proper pattern using cables before, but once I'd got my head around the pattern it started to come together pretty good 😄 I added the ribbed cuffs to the armholes as I felt they were a bit drafty without 🥶 Rowan's patterns must be for experts as I had a hard time working out what I was supposed to do half the time! Got there in the end though 😌

Some sashiko I've been trying my hand at 😀 since being gifted a voucher to spend at @japancrafts I've been absorbing all I can about sashiko and the culture behind it 🌸 I thought it best to find a Japanese source for the patterns and have excitedly been watching two books travel to the UK from a Japanese bookstore 😍 maybe another chance to practice my reading?
I hope to turn this sampler into the pocket of an apron with some leftover denim I had from a skirt I made a few years ago 💙🤍

We don't normally do valentine's Day but since we had nowhere to go this year and an M&S gift voucher burning a hole in our joint pocket we decided it would be nice to get some things we can both enjoy 😆 I have developed a bit of a biscuit dependence during lockdown so this was a nice treat ♥️🌹🍪☕

My Rowan Hawthorne cape is coming along nicely now that I've worked out the pattern in a spreadsheet. I went a bit too far with the pattern so I had to work out how to integrate the decreases into what was left 🙈 it all worked out okay in the end though, I'm a lot more organised this time for the front of the pattern!

I'm using Sirdar Jewelspun in Setting Sun 843

My yarn bowl is a hand thrown ceramic bowl made especially for The Knitting Gift Shop by Hand Knitted Pottery in County Durham 🤗

We've been having some really chilly weather recently, some mornings have been as low as -7! The snow has finally melted here now which is actually a relief as I'd quite like to get on with some gardening soon, there's raised beds to prepare 🤓 it has been nice to get some proper cold weather though, there's something lovely about coming back inside in the warm after getting chilly outside

Time for some updates! By now our friends and family will be running out of the chili sauce we made just before Christmas using mostly home grown Cayenne chillies 😍 we only made 13 bottles and had every intention of handing out more but the rate we are eating it there just won't be any left! It's very good on eggs. I have two days off for my birthday next week and plan to start off some new chilli plants so we can make some more this year!
