Seaside and architecture

It's lovely seaside weather at the moment, warm but feeling comfortable because of a strongish breeze. Hove seafront looking west towards Worthing. One thing I love about Hove is the wonderful jumble of domestic architectural styles. This is St Catherine's... Continue reading

Staying at home

i don't really mind staying at home (I'm over 70, so being very cautious about Covid-19). Self-isolation feels rather like working freelance from home which I did for many years but this time it's without the work! My studio table... Continue reading

Process or project?

I'm mainly a process knitter/crocheter. I enjoy the actual making of items rather than wanting the finished products. There are exceptions though. I knitted a Find Your Fade shawl (Ravelry link) for a friend's 50th birthday and hated the process... Continue reading
