Good evening, everyone. What a pleasant day it has been. The rain has departed (temporarily), the wind has died down and we had sunshine. Not warmth, that would be expecting far too much! 😉
I am hoping that none of you has had any issues with the poor weather today or yesterday.

Talking of warmth, today's the day I gave in and put the heating on. I was hoping to wait until October at least but there's such a thing as being sensibly frugal and such a thing as being a Scrooge, isn't there? I am after the former, not the latter.
It was only five degrees Celsius outside this morning. That's cold without heating! Or maybe I am just a wimp!

And on a totally different subject, big apologies to Jules. There were four of her comments in my spam folder, FOUR!!! They're where they should be now and thank you for commenting.
I have some yarn left so I've dug out a child's jumper pattern and I'm making a jumper for Chris' grandson who is rwo soon.
The blanket is coming along really nicely too and it is really nice to chop and change from knitting to crochet as I fancy
(and it keeps my fingers warm too).
I haven't really done anything very much today really. Just pottered, doing homey things in a homey sort of way. It is, of course, Strictly this evening so I am very much looking forward to that. It's the first elimination week and there's a little group of them who are jostling for that 'honour', I think, and I don't want any of them to go.
What do you think - who do you think will be in the bottom two and who will leave?

Well, I am going to get this posted now. Do enjoy whatever you have planned this evening and stay warm. xx
Lovely warm-looking jumper and it's so nice to be able to layer.
ReplyDeleteIt is - layers are the very best for keeping you warm. APart from turning the heating on, if course. ;0) xx
DeleteLovely jumper, so impressed by your knitting skills. I'm thinking possibly Toyah might go - she's putting heart and soul in but it's all too frenetic for me.
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
Yes, she is a bit 'frantic' isn't she? Too much shake and not enough control. xx
DeleteThe jumper looks lovely. It will be warm and comfy once the really cold weather comes. Wow, heating. My sister said it has been chilly but she's determined not to put hers on until after her holiday (she leaves this next weekend). It's been ... well, pleasant in temperature here. I can tell that it's Autumn though, there are a lot more cloudy days now too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know. I think some of it might be that generally we're just not used to the really cold weather in this country - we're not hardened to it. xx
DeleteI wondered if it might have been a problem at my end. It's bizarre how some comments end up in the spam folder, isn't it, especially as we've all been commenting on one another's blogs for years :)
ReplyDeleteThat jumper is gorgeous, Joy. It looks so cosy, and I love the colour. Xx
Possibly. Whatever the reason, I just need to remember to check spam regularly.
DeleteThank you. It is nice - I like it very much and will certainly get good wear out of it over the next few years, I think. It's cheerful! xx
As it's sunday morning and I've looked at the strictly spoiler I can tell you who went - but I won't!
ReplyDeleteNo, please don't. I know I could look but I choose not to. :-) We'll all know this evening. xx
DeleteGorgeous sweater very nicely knitted. I haven’t seen Strictly yet but I’ll tell you later if my guess for first out is correct. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThank you. I enjoy knitting that stitch. It's kind of satisfying. xx
DeleteI gave in and put the heating on last night it was very cold.
ReplyDeleteIt really was. I was so much more comfortable with it on. xx
DeleteNo heating on here as of yet, but I know the cold weather is coming quickly. That jumper (or what we here across the pond call a turtle neck pullover or just pullover sweater) looks wonderful. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you, Jackie. I know you get extreme winter weather where you live so I feel a bit of a wimp really! :-)
DeleteWe lit the fire yesterday as we had friends coming over for a meal and Elaine does feel the cold. I'm hot at anything above 17.5. Love that jumper and the colour is gorgeous. Bet it's properly snuggly and warm to wear.
ReplyDeleteIt is, it's very snuggly and cosy. I feel the cold an awful lot more now I#ve lost the weight. One of the very few disadvantages. How lovely to have a lit fire. xx
DeleteLovely jumper looks really nice and warm.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally. It's not specifically a Festive jumper, but it will do as one, won't it? It's the right colour. xx
DeleteThat is a lovely slouchy jumper, perfect for the weather we are having currently. I haven't picked up knitting needles or crochet hook for ages. I'm still holding out with putting the heating on but like you said ' being sensible with the heating'. If It gets too cold it will be going on!
ReplyDeleteThe thermostat is set sensibly low so It's not going to click on unnecessarily. It'll be fine. I must remember to read the meter tomorrow. xx
