Hello 4 day weekend, I am so pleased to see you. This weekend you will be giving me some much needed vitamin sea, yep its off to Cornwall for me, hubs and no 2 son. No 1 is staying home with the hound, his choice I think he quite likes having the house to himself! We are off to stay with our Cornish friends.
As always with me I like to take a good book and a knitting project, my chosen book is
A bit of light summer reading, I am imagining that the sun will be shining and I will be sat on the beach reading at some point over the weekend, I do miss the days when the boys were small and made sandcastles and rock pooled, nowadays, no 2 sits by my side reading and no 1 does not like sand ! I have this on my kindle and I admit that at present my kindle is overflowing with books I haven't read! Now I am settling into the new job I am hoping my brain will settle and I can get some reading time in each week.
The knitting project is this
nope, I haven't knit this its a sock blank which I am knitting from !
Oh my, I have no idea why I never bought these before I am so a sock blank convert, it was a bit of a snap decision actually, I have been lusting after Amy's flamingo legs yarn but have never managed to get any when she updates her shop, always too slow, but there was this beauty left so I just hit that add to cart button and it was mine. It made me so happy when it arrived I just had to cast it on straight away, As the yarn is so beautiful I wanted a simple pattern that would let the yarn do all the work. So I chose this gorgeous pattern, which is aptly named
how gorgeous is that?
I think it will be perfect for this yarn.If you are a knitter its worth checking out her pattern, I love them and have knit a few. Louise Zass-Bangham
If you are a knitting podcast watcher, go check out amys channel her podcasts are so much fun to watch, Amy Edwards Green, if you have never knit from a sock blank give it a go, I love it, no runaway balls to chase , no skeins to ball up, and its squished into a small project bag, what more could you want?
There is 1 place on my 'want to go visit whilst I'm in Cornwall list', that I am hoping to go to this weekend, The hidden Hut, I have wanted to visit for ages but never got there, well this weekend we have decided to give it a darned good try! a nice cliff walk and lunch at the hut! bliss. I shall take my little Praktica camera as I haven't used a camera in ages, have been lazy and just using my i-phone for pics! am hoping for a good few picture opportunities here.
We are hoping to get to the maritime museum in Falmouth, as there is a Tattoo exhibition on, I do love a good tattoo, I have 7 Tattoos in total, some not so good now, and could quite happily get some more, maybe I will, in fact if I get to this exhibition I probably will !
So now all that's left is to take no 1 son for some weekend food shopping, just to make sure he doesn't starve whilst we are away and then its off, hopefully most of the holiday traffic headed out of the city southwards yesterday, it was hellish getting home, 75 minutes of traffic snaking! But as I am not driving, hubs is, I shall sit and read or knit my way to Cornwall.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
