Now that it has been given to its recipient, I can share photos of my most complex colourwork project to date: the #GuardianCowl by Hunt Hand Knits. I doubled the length to make a loose cowl.

These cheerful quilt blocks were the perfect project for a cloudy, snowy day. 48 blocks completed and I won thread chicken!

Socks! For me! This is the basic sock pattern from Summer Lee's book The Sock Project, using yarn from Ginger Twist Studio in Edinburgh in the colourway Pappy's Garden.

On January 26, 1748, Britain, Netherlands, Austria & Sardinia signed an anti-French treaty. Tonight's dinner theme was therefore "anything European except French". Details in the alt text; more photos in comments.

Since this photo was taken three days ago, I have completed one sleeve and 1/3 of the second. It's the Melville Cardigan, children's size 4-6 years.

Current project: Zilver shawl for the women's shelter. I am determined to make a dent in my yarn stash this year. The problem? All my friends keep giving me yarn so I can continue knitting for the women's shelter. This is item 148 (1st was in 2018).

One of the good things about driving my dad to his appointments: lots of knitting time in waiting rooms! This is the Fernhill hat

Another favourite coffee mug, this one from a 2014 self-guided wine tour. Pre-pandemic, this was my work coffee mug and in five years only one person ever realized what was printed on it.

As my first post, I thought I would share a few photos of previous quilting and knitting projects, plus my favourite coffee mug.

Alt text: photos of a floral applique wallhanging, a knitted hat beside matching orange day lilies, and a mug stamped "F#ck off I'm knitting".
