Thank you! I was really surprised how much I love it short sleeved, maybe it's the weather this year or the feeling of singles yarn but I've worn it alot already :)

I have a couple of friends who are monogamous knitters and only ever have one project at a time, they always seem to get so much done! I've tried to change but I am always tempted by pretty patterns ;)

The first flower is a magnolia (those blossoms were HUGE) and the other is a snakes head fritillary, when the flowers are buds they droop and look like a snake head. Incredible checkerboard colouring on them. I have read about the horrible drought in California, I cant imagine living somewhere so dry. You are doing right by trying to adapt to the conditions. I hope your garden does well (and sending a bit of English rain your way!)

Oh that sounds amazing, and MANGO trees? I am incredibly jealous!

Thank you so much for sharing this trip to Denmark, it looks absolutely amazing! I also love your watercolour sketch, one of my favourite ways to record a journey :)

Oh my goodness, I always wanted to try Donegal Yarn. Such a gorgeous colour and those yummy neps!

Thank you Alina, I hope yours is lovely too :)

Thank you! The colour is just starting too, I always get so excited when everything first comes up :) The purple flowers are crocuses, little bulbs that come in a lot of different colours, but I can't resist those purples.

Thank you Alina!

All feeling much better now, thankful for a healthier start to the New Year :)

I think those might secretly be my favourites too! Don't tell the others ;)
