WOYWW 702 More vineyards

Hi all,

Here are the gloves I was working on last week

I’m now working on a scarf for her partner. I’m adding a few grapes and leaves but fewer than in the shawl I showed you last week, to make it a bit more ‘masculine’. 

Principally, this week, we’ve been dealing with the water company, who reported a 1000L leak per day from our water supply. They finally dug on Monday and decided the leak was ‘our side of the boundary’ and therefore our responsibility. I nearly came to blows with one of them who suggested I get my husband to come and take a photo - he thought I was being rude by saying that was sexist.  He redeemed himself when he ran his cat scanner up the side of the house for us, to locate the pipe we have to replace. It’s going to cost about £2000 and our house insurance has said it’s not covered.

It’s incredible to think you can have a large leak and it’s not visible. It’s just pouring into the ground, and Affinity Water didn’t  notice till they came to read the meter. If you see a cheap insurance for your mains water, it’s worth considering!

Bella and Gracie send purrs to you all. No new photos this week. 

And finally…

I’m off to join in the blog hop at The Stamping Ground Take care and happy WOYWW!

WOYWW 701 Vineyard gloves

Hi all, I hope to visit more WOYWW desks this week as I’m feeling better after a few days of nasty headaches. 

I’ve diverted from the Tizzy- coloured slipover to fingerless gloves this week. I thought I’d make some for my goddaughter to go with the scarf I made a couple of years ago. 

Here are the gloves in progress:

Here’s the scarf. 

We had another Stitch and Bitch meeting last night. I dropped some larger sized needles and thicker wool off for one of the beginners last week, and was rewarded with a photo of well knitted rows. 😀

The weather has been horribly rainy so we’ve mainly stayed home and cuddled up with the cats. Of course, Bella and Gracie hate that but they put up with it for us.😻😼. They send purrs to you all. 

And finally…

Take care and happy WOYWW!

WOYWW 700!

Wow, 700 weekly blog hops of The Stamping Ground isn’t that just brilliant! Well done Julia and Jan! 🥳🍾🍸🍸

I’ve started a wavy sleeveless jumper for Brian. It’s crocheted in the round and uses the same yarn as my Tizzy ( I won’t want him to wear it at the same time 😀).

I braved our local pub last night for the first of a series of Stitch and Bitch sessions, raising money for Alzheimer’s UK. I was wearing my Tizzy cardigan. One of the knitters saw me crocheting the slipover and thought I was adding to my Tizzy cardigan while wearing it!

We had 3 beginners and 3 experienced knitters / crocheters. The 3 beginners were from the family who run the pub and they were keen to learn knitting. 

I promised to look out some of my Mum’s old knitting needles as I don’t use them now. (I got used to circular ones when knitting while commuting). She must have done lots of hard knitting- look how bent these needles are!

Gracie and Bella send purrs to your all

And finally…

Take care and happy 700th WOYWW!
