Knitting on the go... and on the stop?

Picnic time for the family!!

Child was given a kite by the paternal Grandfather yesterday, so we decided a picnic on the windiest hill we know was the order of the afternoon/evening.

We gave her a picnic choice; Maccy D's or baguette and various meats? she went for baguette and meat. that bought, we headed off up the hill. fun and frolicks ensued....



Child then decided that climbing a tree would be a great idea, we encouraged her because it's important for kids to be adventurous.......


Well. Ok. It didn't go well. This is where my knitting evening continued.....Yeah. She jumped out of the tree. She didn't fall. SHE JUMPED. when asked why, she couldn't say. she hadn't thought it was as high as it was..... she jumped about 6ft, landed hard on her feet which then started bruising while she was screaming her little head off...... SO.......



3 hours in A+E, she's fine. bruised and bashed, but undetterred and determined to climb another day lol. Thanks again to Basildon Hospital children's A+E staff for being awesome lol.

Two in one day?!

yep. two. count them. yeah. cabling and great British sewing bee. what's not to love?!

still working on learning the app

I was planning on taking a couple of pics at a home ed group today, but after telling off the group leader for having a go at a little boy with aspergers, I figured sitting knitting might seem disrespectful!!

Hey ho. I'm home now lol.

I'm not liking how the app doesn't resize my pics. I'm probably missing something.....
