The jumper is finished finally! I think I started it in April, after Easter, so it has taken me almost three months to get it done. I’ve blocked it, to try to stretch it out a bit, and while it’s not oversized at all, it fits. The neckline is much too wid

Time is flying by. I’ll start with my knitting update as usual. It’s been slow progress in this heat, but I’m almost done with the jumper. Still a bit dubious as to whether it’s going to grow in the block wash, but we’ll find out by next week. I’m knittin

I was in York over Easter weekend, seeing the town and doing some hikes. Lovely trip. I went looking for some local wool, since the Yorkshire sheep are so popular for yarn, but I think it’s all so commercialised now and exported everywhere that there aren
