WOYWW 848 Chevrons and witches

Hi all, back again for our weekly bloghop courtesy of Sarah’s Craftshed. Here’s my desk as I was finishing my latest Peak District watercolour. 

We’ve had a relatively busy week, going to see Martha Wainwright in concert at the old Booking Hall venue in Dover. (It was good not to have to go to London for a concert). She’s an excellent singer and we enjoyed it, although we’re more familiar with her mother and aunt’s (the McGarrigle sisters) music. 

On Sunday we went to an open-air performance of Macbeth at Goodnestone Castle gardens, by the Duke’s Theatre company. I love Macbeth, having once played First Witch at school in a long, ginger wig and Yoko Ono sunglasses. The one on Sunday was an excellent performance, and despite recent unsettled weather, it was dry. Here’s a scene with Macbeth and the witches. 

They were very inventive with having suddenly appearing red ribbons for all the blood. Of course, at the beginning we had to answer ‘When shall we three meet again?’ with ‘I can do next Tuesday’ as per Terry Pratchett. 😀🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙

I’ve done more work on my chevron blanket, too. I’ve put in a stitch marker I’ve called my ‘Are we there yet? Marker’. I’ve only reached full length once the strip is twice the length of the AWTY marker and it avoids temptation to measure the strip continually. 

Here’s my first 180cm long strip, doubled up. 

Bella approves and sends you all purrs. 

And finally …

I’ve always been fond of Wiley Coyote:

Happy WOYWW
