Wednesday evening, 30-10-24

Evening, everyone.  This week (and the end of the month) is going so very quickly.  Are you finding that too.  It has been another very dull day today but no rain as far as I could see.

Today was a day of changed plans.

First thing this morning, I was rootling in the yarn cupboard and found a forgotten 'work in progress', a granny cardigan I was trying to make that didn't work out well at all so I just gave up and shoved it in the cupboard.  However, it was lots of perfectly good squares with all the ends sewn in and I had joined using the join as you go method so it was relatively easy to unpick the joining and release the squares.
It was actually quite good fun and I decided I really didn't NEED to go to B&M, etc, and I would rather get this done.
So I did and now I have a big pile of squares to consider plus a whole load of white in shortish lengths that will probably be very annoying but it's definitely usable, all the same.

It took ages but all done now and bagged up until I decide what to do with them which won't be until after Christmas now.  

This afternoon, I set off for the hall where the group met but - don't all laugh at once - it was last week, not this.  As it is a once a month thing, I have three weeks to wait before I can give it a try out.  A bit disappointing but I had to laugh.

I decided that, as I didn't go this morning, I could do what I didn't do this morning this afternoon instead.
All I wanted really was some wooden spoons, a set of washing up brushes; both spoons and brushes are pretty antique and I knew I could get them at B&M.  I could have got them in Wilkinsons too but that's now closed, of course.

I also had a nosey round (not that impressed) but I was thrilled to see that they had H2O Glitterberry and we love Glitterberry for family Christmas occasions.  It tends to sell out quickly so I seized the opportunity and stocked up.

So not the day I had expected but useful, all the same.

And I will double check the date of the next Knit and Natter meeting!

I asked Beth and she said I could so here's what she is negotiating this week, having cleared her bedroom.  This is the living room and there's more in Alex's room too.  

Bless her . . .

Time to start chilling so I will love you and leave you and wish us all a great night's sleep.  xx
