Hi all,
My chevron blanket goes on and on; it’s remarkably easy to grow. I’ve just checked how many strips I’ve done, so far 8, of 9 specified by the pattern, but I’ll do 10, lengthening them all to 2m and see how wide that is when I join them. I’ve just measured them all and added tags so I know how much I need to add. They currently vary between 143 and 197cm. It very easy to stretch them when measuring, as it’s a form of ribbing, hence the divergence.
Thanks so much to those of you who’ve bought my novel. It would be great if you could leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads, please. (You don’t have to have bought the book from them to leave one.)
It’s not shown as available yet elsewhere; the vagaries of what gets published here and in other countries seems a very arcane mystery.
Signed copies of the paperback are also still available from me via lmcollis@icloud(dot)com
On Monday we ventured over to Thanet for the Home Service gig as part of the Broadstairs Folk festival. John Tams is no longer with them but they’ve recruited the excellent Bob Fox from County Durham. He did very well, especially as it was his first gig with them. They still have a superb brass section with a cornet, trombone, saxes and flute. Good job there was no tuba, Jan, or we’d have been blown out of our seats๐คฃ, as we were only a few rows from the front.
We were both in colourful mode, me in my Bees knees Zuri and Brian in a Frida Kahlo shirt I’d bought him.
We also discovered a lovely restaurant, the Little Sicilian, in York St., to which we’ll happily return.
And finally…
This one’s my favourite:
Gracie and Bella are as gorgeous as ever, but were waiting for us to come home as we were out after bedtime ๐๐พ
And an extra one. This is probably AI-generated but I like it anyway..,
Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs

I love the drawing and am really happy that you’re going to start a class, I hope you get loads out of it! The chevrons are lovely and growing apace, are you doing a cardi or something else? Love th epic of you and Bri, glad you had a good night out and you’re right, a tuba at close quarters is a beast, lolol!!
