Odds and Sods - February 2019

February was a relatively quiet month - the first half was taken up with revision and being desperate to get out into the garden.

Finn helped a lot with my revision, bless him!

And he was also happy to get out into the garden with me on the days I'd really had enough of studying and was desperate to go and cut things down in rage!

Amanda's stayed over a few times this month and Finn always loves his cuddles with her.

I finally started my swirl cardigan but it's completely flummoxed me, to the point that I have no idea how to sew it up!   It's a very strange construction and knitted all in one go with only one seam for the whole thing.   I need to have a look at this again when I can concentrate and will not be too easily distracted!

Loving my spring daffodils.

I have been privileged to see a number of murmurations either on my walk home from work, or from my own back garden as they come over my house.   It's fabulous to watch the starlings swooping, gaining momentum and flying in a mass.   Stunning.

Finn and I went and stayed at the caravan with Andy for Valentines day, hence the heart shaped malteser cake and the prosecco!   And the random duck egg too.

Once I'd finished (but not sewn up!) the swirl cardigan, I decided to make something simple so went for a pair of socks - which I managed to match up too for a change!

Finn and I have had lots of lovely walks - although very sunny, it's also been very cold, so I've been wrapped up well.

My temperature blanket is coming along nicely and I'm loving the woven appearance of it.   Fascinating to watch the colours changing with the weather.

And of course, it's all about Finn!
