Well, It’s been 2 months since I added anything to the blog. Many apologies. I was working on a deadline that seemed to get harder and harder to achieve the closer I got to it. Miracle of miracles, it all came good on the day, and I let myself wallow in a petit knitting burnout for a couple of weeks. Then I was on holidays, and excuse upon excuse upon excuse later, here I finally am, back at the codeface.

So what have I been doing? Well, I’ve been working on a blanket which is pretty well charted out, but knitting up S.L.O.W.L.Y and I went on a super brilliant hat design course with the very cool, bus-dwelling Woolly Wormhead in This Is Knit in Dublin. More on that tomorrow. As a result, I have one and a half hat designs that I will be writing up tonight. No really! Back to work, Ellie!

My gorgeous little sister got engaged 3 weeks ago, and I’m very excited to be part of the wedding posse – you’re lookin’ at the Matron of Honour for the F/J bash of the century. I get to do the invite calligraphy and hopefully design a shawl and some shrugs for the shindig too! Not to mention the hen party!

So my dears, hope you had a lovely time with the childer over the summer holidays if you’re a parent like me, or else got at least a little sunshine. Be chattin’ to ya!
