Spending a bit of time on my blanket. Been side tracked with baby knitting but felt the need for a change.

We don't Honour the past spending billions on pomp when the world is a shitshow and kids are starving (and dying)
To Honour would be not letting it happen over again
It's VE day, and here's my Gramma who I love and honour by trying to be a good person, just like she was.

Happy May, folks

I finished a thing! Shawl for my mum, chunky acrylic. B&m bargain and amazingly didn't give me the ick half way through like some acrylics do. Knitted on Syfonies, nice and smooth. Pleasure to knit

Nervous knitting!
Come on ladies!!

Me and Virgin media are not often friends... But a nice email today telling me I can now stream DAZN makes me a happy bunny!

Impulsive cast on (does everyone do this??) Multiple WIPs of course 🤣
Sockhead beanie. Not even sure I've got enough yarn but I'll make it work!
Already regretting it, 2×2 rib 4ply, 3mm pins, for 10cm. I dont have the greatest level of patience as it is 🤣
#100daysofphotos 65/100 #knitsky

Not done one of these for a bit
New cast one
This one's for the middlest
Have restarted a couple of times, wasn't happy with how it was knitting. Trying again now!

Trip to town today with the kids. Visited Manchester Museum and, of course needed a walk round Afflecks. Lots of memories unlocked. It will never be the same as in my yoof but some places persist.
Biggest wanted a photo with this Queen.
Of course it rained.

Set complete. Thought I'd make a matching hat with the leftover yarn
🧶
#knitsky #100daysofphotos 62/100

This is such a lovely pattern to make. Enjoyed it immensely. Used about 60g of dk so I've enough left over for a matching hat. Little gift for a friend's new granddaughter. 🧶👶

Only 6 days into the month before I remember to turn the calendar. Doing well.
Hello Benny B!

The best kitchen appliances to buy if you live in a ND household
#1 in an occasional series:
A really good panini press.
A wrap, some cheese and spicy chorizo in the time it takes to make a brew. No effort carb loading. No pan to wash. Result.
#100daysofphotos 59/100

If you don't see a pattern you like, you just make your own...is that how it goes??
This could end in tears, but ok....

Prem hat for the Delivery box at work.
Titchy knitting!
#100daysofphotos 57/100 🧶

I genuinely have the best friends and cutest work family. Surprised by this last night and honestly choked me. A reminder that there are inherently good and thoughtful people around.
#100daysofphotos 56/100

Its my day off, I have a ton of things to do
House is a tip. Washing to do. Behind on work elearning. Need to wash my hair.
But it's my day off
So I'm knitting 🧶 and eating chocolate 🍫

1st thing I knitted and gifted was a mustard garter st scarf for my gramma. I was about 10. She wore it alot despite the flaws 🤣
I've come full circle, a shawl for my mum, in mustard, loosely based on a prayer shawl, random st-st/garter sections, so *deliberate* flaws inc!

Knitting with 4ply scraps today
🧶
#100daysofphotos 53/100

Somehow this dude is 12!
Nobody told me, all those yrs ago, how chaotic baby boy ownership is. Most days i feel like I've been mauled by a tiger, who licks you better after they've torn your face off. I'm sure boy mums can relate 🤣
#100daysofphotos 52/100

Today I'm sending birthday wishes skywards for this absolute legend, my gramma . Completely round the hatstand batshit crazy, and gave zero shits. I hope me and my girls are even a fraction of the woman she was, and continue her legacy.
#100daysofphotos 51/100 #sisterhood #vivelavadge

Side questing like a pro today. Go to fridge for milk to make a brew, find carton of eggs that's use by today, make stack of pancakes,(with the milk for the brew).. don't make a brew 🙄🤦‍♀️
#100daysofphotos 50/100

Biggest made a friend 😍🐈
It's been difficult living without a cat since our boy died 18mth ago. Sometimes i forget how hard it must be for the kids, who grew up with him always there.

Happy International Women's Day 2025 to every woman, everywhere.
Let's make the next 12 mths count. Stand up for, and with, each other. Together, we are a force to be reckoned with.
Peace out ✌️

You're not wrong.

Middle of Lidl yarn still going strong. Started a scarf to go with the hat- in cables, inspired by all the cable knits I've seen recently. Might restart and add a garter border for width, undecided, I'll see how i feel in 20 more rows!

It's new (to us) car day.
Our old one went to car heaven after a short, incurable illness.
It's been tricky navigating life without a car for the last couple of weeks. It's mad how reliant you get on them. And we live in gtr Manchester. Transport links are good!
#100daysofphotos 45/100

8 weeks. It's been a labour of love! (Plus additional side quests, obviously) a pure st st shawl in 4ply is a test of endurance for sure!
But's finished and ready to gift.
SW merino/nylon mix. A dream to work with.

Annual Dance School Show Fantastic day, as always.
They continue to make me proud.
