April Yarn Along

April Yarn Along already!!

Still knitting my cardigan.  Half of the second front to go.  But I got a bit sick of the dark colour, so pulled out my diagonal blanket squares I am knitting for charity and worked on them for awhile...
Reading They Would Not Be Moved, another of my recent Anabaptist book purchases

And this morning my wool order from Bendigo Woollen Mills arrived.  I don't have much in the way of pretty pastels, and often the charities I knit for ask for baby blankets, so ordered these colours...
and two of their calico bags because they were only $3 and I thought they would be good for my various knit/crochet projects.


As some of you only visit my blog from Yarn Along, I'm reposting this photo of the blanket I finished recently...

And these beanies I mailed off to charity…



In the garden, there is something to be said for weeds, because if my strawberry patch was not covered in weeds the birds would have found these before I did...
they weren't quite ready to be picked, but ripened up inside over a couple of days.


The beans are finished, and I picked the last of the apples to be cooked up...



This morning my load of wood was delivered.  I've made a start stacking it in the woodshed and hope to get it all finished over the next few days...


The photos below are from my exercise walk early this morning.  And a friend said to me...
"If you walk softly in the dark...

you can hear the sun rise..."


What a lovely thought!

Certainly no time to be bored around here :)

  1. You've had many good finishes this month. That's wonderful! I love your granny square blanket you finished. I have been picking away at mine over the last couple months. It was a great project to bring for our trip, and it's a perfect project now as we shelter in place. With everyone home, there is more to be done during the day. A small project that can be picked up and put down is just what I need!
    Hope you are well.

    1. Hi Bekah! Yes...all is well here. I'm not much of a socialiser at the best of times, so my life has not really changed that much.

      The granny squares are a good pick up/put down project. I wanted to do some sewing too, but there is much more involved in setting up the machine somewhere and spreading out fabric, etc. So I just stick to the knitting and crocheting :)

      Stay safe and well. xx
