And we have another mini heatwave here in UK - clear blue skies and 30+ temperatures for a few days. I have been making good use of the extra time indoors and completed the stitching on the cover panels for my book. My Chookshed Challenge for the month.
I had an afternoon to myself and had planned to trim all the panels and get them stitched together.
But by the time I had them all trimmed I was too hot to think about lugging the machine out of it's hidyhole, so now that is a job for next week.
My Stitch Journal has progressed and I am taking inspiration from the garden at the moment.
I have completed my little stitchery roundel for the Christmas Tree skirt
and have been knitting my way through more cricket and football. Have now turned the heel on my second sock and am on the home straight!
I am off to find the fan again - hope you have a great week. xx
Thank goodness for handwork! I would hate to think that either of us had nothing to do while waiting out the heat. I did see London had some very hot weather going through as I do love Wimbledon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching x

Nice progress on the book - What sock pattern are you making?
ReplyDelete30+ is hot for you...hopefully it passes soon...Fans don't really help that much but better than nothing.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your early Chookshed finish...your tree skirt looks pretty - is that an Anni Downs design??
You’re making good use of your indoor time. Lots of progress. I hope your extreme heat abates soon.
ReplyDeleteYour journals are so pretty and I love seeing each update. I would love to get my knitting out again, but I need to finish up some other projects first.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been getting so far and then running out of oomph in the heat! Still, you've made some lovely progress!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty English cottage garden that you are stitching up. Stay cool.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching as always. My family friend in the UK has been telling us how hot it is over there but her vegie crop is thriving at her allotment. Keep cool.
