so it’s been a while……i have certainly been a lazy blogger of late, not necessarily out of choice, rather that sleep after 14 or 15 hour days at work has seemed like the more sensible option. after a nice chilled weekend though i feel a bit more like i’m back on an even keel again.
my house no longer looks sad and neglected and i’ve had a lovely couple of mornings enjoying the pretty corner of my kitchen and pottering about pretending i can cook and bake.
in reality though it really is just lots of tea and coffee drinking and biscuit dunking whilst thumbing through cookery books wistfully!
a lazy weekend more importantly also means time to actually knit! and due to a really rather productive weekend for me i have actually finished something from my yop list – yaaay!
my purple lighthouse shawl all finished ♥ i didn’t bother blocking it partly because i didn’t think it really needed it and partly because i’m a bit like a child and couldn’t wait any longer to actually wear it!
i’ve got a bit of a dilemma now though – there isn’t really anything on my list that’s grabbing me at the minute and giving me that urge to cast on – instead i’ve got so many other new patterns and ideas for projects that i’ve come across and fallen in love with over the past few weeks that i’m torn!
so while i decide, it’ll be more hexapuffs!
this is my one a day project, although i confess i haven’t actually completed one since monday so have a bit of catching up to do! hopefully my first mini skein club package that arrived from the natural dye studio will help!
added to my recent buys from the knitting goddess i’m building up a large enough mini skein stash to keep me going for a pretty long while!
so off a-hexapuff-ing i go!
happy sunday evening folks

Your scarf looks lovely, I would be too impatient to wait and block as well. I really like your hexipuffs too, but figure you must have some patience for them, so I’ve not gone near them, just as well too as I have so much to do!
That is a pretty corner of your kitchen. The scarf looks great. I love the colour
Congrats on getting your shawl done, it looks awesome. I love that color, and agree it doesn’t look like it needs blogging to me either. I must check out that pattern.
What is a hexapuff? I keep seeing them, keep asking, keep wondering. Please hop over for a visit and let me know.
Those hexipuffs are the perfect interlude while you wait on your next project to grab your attention. You know you can always change your YoP. There are several of us that have done that.
I love your kitchen corner and your scarf is beautiful, just right for this time of year. I also love your stripey top 🙂
I shall watch your bee-keeper’s quilt grow and be grateful that the world has people of such infinite patience 🙂 It is so very pretty! Fingers crossed that your work calms down a little.
Love the colour of the Shawl. I don’t think it needs blocking and eventually you will wash it anyway you can block it then.
Ah yes the Hexypuffs!!! They have finally gotten to me after I mnaged to avoid them for month
Happy hexapuffing! Your shawl looks gorgeous: I can see why you couldn’t wait to wear it!
Your kitchen corner and your scarf both look beautiful. That is some tasty looking yarn too
Hexipuffs look great, and your new yarn is awesome!
I love your shawl! It’s gorgeous and the colour is wonderful.
Your kitchen corner there is so adorable and creative. Love all the pretty mugs that you collect and show off.
Nice shawl :O). I can understand the impatience.
Hexipuffs make any yarn look cute!
