WOYWW 817 Whooshing

Hi all, I’m back for our mid-week desk share care of Sarah’s Craftshed. Here’s my art class desktop. After painting our bugs, we then had to doodle below them in the style of the artist Carne Griffiths. 

One of my classmates looked at that and said ‘Whoosh!’  so that’s what my dragonfly painting is called. 😻

Brian’s slipover was finally finished, as he models it below. 

I fell in love again with shade 22 of Hobbii winter glow when doing this crochet so I’m making myself a top from this shade. Bella’s supervising and sends you all purrs. 

I lost my 4mm crochet hook this week. I was chatting online with Noel Bryson of Henryetta’s Hooks, who’s making me another. When I told him it had slipped its leash and gone into a black hole he suggested there must be an alien somewhere, knitting itself a nice scarf. 

Hence Tiny Clanger!

The leash for my hooks is a glasses chain. 

I’m just watching Inside the Factory on BBC1 which shows how Clays, who printed my book, are printing a new edition of 20,000 copies of Pride and Prejudice. I guess mine was printed in the blink of an eye! I see the paper book of my ‘A Sense for Silver’ is only £2.51 now on Amazon so if you’re looking for a present…

On Thursday, as well as celebrating Brian’s 70th birthday, we’ll also be raising a glass to our dear friend Elie Colnat, who died in November. I’ve been organising this do, which has local friends and ex-colleagues. It’s a bit like herding cats! Brian always describes Elie as a pint-sized Pavarotti 😻

And finally …

I always liked Wile E. Coyote and have a motto from him: ‘Don’t look down!’

I’ll be back to visit after my class. 

Happy WOYWW 

Hugs
