Dawn

well despite my hectic work and often having late nights. I still have a tendncy to wake up around dawn. not all the time just go through periods of doing so, which aint to bad at this time of year, bit nasty in the summer.
However one of the advantages of living in the country is that even in the cold winter when this happens, you get to listen to proper dawn chorus, not just a couple of birds. You can also annoy owls while out in the garden at night by mimicing calls and making them think they have a new friend/enemy.

Harrogate, knitting and stitching

Well although the Knitting/yarn stalls where hidden amongst the stitching i still managed to find some nice yarns and some new toys. there was this nice hemp flower set, I like having something little that I can work on at work - well when I get a free minuet. The big cone was more of a I could do something intresting with that type buy.



This baby pink lace weight kid mohair is for my soph she wants gloves like her mum, and will also get a scarf as she only has didy hands.







This is kid mohair and think it was marino 2 ply, along with a little hook this is going to make a nice something, it hasnt quiet decided yet so is just sitting on the table looking lovely, and making me think of rivers.





And this lace weight silk is to be come a shawl,










Finaly, well last picture, a big hook for big wool scarfs for the winter :-), For reference the green and white hook is a 15mm.

Now I just have to finish everything on my todo/christmass project lists and then I can get out my small hooks and play with thin yarns.

pictures


this is an extremly bad photo of some wrist warmer type thing that a sister is now proudly wearing, no wear near as nice as fetching but a lot quicker and easyer.

and this is a lovely autumanl picture with lovely reds.

8 day week.

I need an extra day to the week,
preferbly a weekend day, maby a bit like sundays where with not a lot open. this way I may find the time to finish WIP, walk the dog, go watch the kite's (bird veriaty), find a flat of my own, do the hundred and one things on my to do list. This would also be the day for me to say no to people and opt for me time. Whats brought on this, a lack of free time. I know my working week is hecktick that comes with the line of work, but at the moment i carnt find a completly free day in my diary, or half day for that matter. this is also why blogging is so hit and miss, that and at present sharing a computer with a 14 year old who thinks the world will end if she is seperated from msn for more then five minuets.
ok rant is over,

Originally uploaded by snaterkat.
well I had another busy weekend, which unfortunatly ment no walks in the woods. We did have a big bonfire on sat night, and some nice fireworks, unfortunatly also a lot of 14 year olds who where noisy all night. I also watched a lot more fireworks driving to newcastle on Sunday for a gig. I love fireworks I always have, although these days its only the displays that have any of the big nice ones not the ones for home.

Pumpkins and flowers


I know it was yesterday but thought we would start with a nice pumpkin, on the theme of delayed postings. I had a good weekend full of lovely things. Like walks by the river in Durham, which is very pretty at the moment with all the leaves changing colour. A continetal market with lots of lovely food and smells. Going out for Hanahs birthday, and of course riding. One day I will start Blogging when things happen not just briefly 3 days later.
also thought I would share these lovely flowers with everyone.
On a more crochet note, the black gloves for sister are in the to sew pile, there are several half done scarfs and the dpns are still where they where a week ago.
