Firstly, I hope you all enjoyed your Mothers Day yesterday - mine was pretty good, although probably not everyone's cup of tea. My lovely daughter made this suncatcher card for me - I think it took a very long time!
I seem to have a stack of projects on the go but nothing finished as yet. I'm knitting some very small daffodils...
...this thing that looks like a skinny octopus will eventually be a tree - honest, it will!
I'm on the home straight with the aeroplane cardigan, just finishing off the sleeves, but whenever it gets too much (it's very heavy!) I knit another few rows of this lace shawl. A simple repeating pattern, easy to learn off by heart and I am using a laceweight mohair yarn in a soft off-white with sparkles threaded through it. I think it will be very pretty.
And after a whole year, it would appear that we are finally free of builders. Over the weekend we quickly walloped up an extra bit of trellis to fill in the gap the fencers left and covered the first panel with some bamboo screening. Now I feel we are protected as much as possible from prying eyes. I planted some clematis plants which will hopefully climb up the rest of the fence and trellis and provide a living screen. We may get perfectly nice new neighbours, but it doesn't hurt to take precautions!
I also painted my sentry box blue last week - it's such a pretty colour that I was tempted to paint everything else blue as well, but then commonsense prevailed!
