May Bank Holiday

Well, we have had our May Bank Holiday here in the UK. As usual a rather damp weekend, but apart from a few showers, not too bad today.

The cats have spent the day indoors, making themselves very comfortable. This photo was taken a little while ago. Things do not change............

During the week, some yarn I ordered arrived. This was in a sale - and I need it for a top I plan to knit soon. I have promised myself that I will not buy any more yarn until my yarn stash is rather smaller than it is at present. I have also promised myself not to buy any more fabric either. I shall try to use as much of it as I can to make any new projects.

My dear husband was rather amused to find a note I had written to myself saying "no new fabric". He knows me rather well..........

This is the Mystery Blanket project I am knitting with the Elizabeth's Year group. I am rather out of step with the group at present since this was the project for April! Never mind, I am enjoying myself. The original pattern for this design comes from "The Knitter's Almanac" by Elizabeth Zimmerman. It does not have a curving line of increases or the lacy insert.

I went to a celebration yesterday with my husband. A dear friend of ours has just remarried. It was so nice to go, celebrate his wedding and meet some friends we had not seen for a number of years. A number had travelled some distance to come for the event. We all had a lot of fun chatting, dancing and laughing together. Plans were made to meet again soon.
