Purls of Wisdom

Beautiful knit but how are your fingers?!! It makes my fingers so sore!

'I want you mac" (n cheese) to "I want you back" Jackson five

My 18 month old grandson is obsessed with spiders, so my latest knit... #knit #showmeyourknits #knitting #bskyknit #knittingdesigner #knitter

100% everyone should watch it. My initial laughing along at the inappropriate swearing was soon replaced with the realisation of the very real struggle of tourettes. Must be exhausting 😞

Oh my goodness. I just watched this film tonight - I'm in bits. Hilarious, heartbreaking and thought provoking. Best film I've seen in years. Couldn't leave the cinema until it had emptied as mascara down my face!

Once in a lifetime - Talking Heads. Fab😀

Good night, Bob. You were anything but "ordinary". #RIPRobertRedford

Very sad news, Rest in Peace Ricky Hatton❤️🥀

Not offended at all, grateful you pointed it out. You forget once your own babies are in their 30s! 😆

Good shout! Thank you x

Something a bit different this week. My 18month old grandson has become obsessed with helicopters so I had to oblige!! #blueskyknits #showmeyourknits #knitting #bskyknit #knittingdesigner #knit #knitter

After being on sleeve island for eternity and then getting roped into knitting numerous toys (don't ask) I finally finished the jumper. Made with swear words #knitting #showmeyourknits #knit #knitter ##knittersofbluesky

Too right with Lemmy, Tom Petty and Rick Parfitt too....

Thank you, you'll get there - practice practice, I only ever carry across 2 stitches if that helps?!

In between knitting a dinosaur jumper for my grandson (I'm on sleeve island) I turned out this ponytail hat (my design) back to sleeves now... Zzzzz #bskyknit #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitter #knittingdesigner

Some quick knits this week. Headbands! #showmeyourknits #knitting #knit #knitwear #knittingdesigner

It's dreary and rainy in Cumbria so a #hat kind of weekend #bskyknit #showmeyourknits #knitting #knit #knittingdesigner

Time to "catch a few winks down under the bed" then head back to LBC!!!

It's time to prioritise pedestrians too. Many a pavement (sometimes alongside a 60mph road) offers less than 5 feet between pedestrian and vehicle. If cyclists are afforded 1.5 metres then surely a pedestrian should receive the same....

Thank you, I'd highly recommend having a go at knitting, it's only 2 stitches to learn then everything builds on that. Good Luck! X

Thank you Sue, I improvised as I went along!! 😀

Thank you Queenie, you are too kind and very hot by the sound of it!! It's pretty warm here too but nowhere near that temp!! Definitely not too hot for knitting yet! 😀

Thank you! 😊

Finished my #fairisle tanktop. Ruby adamant she wanted to get in on the act! #bskyknit #knittingdesigner #knitter #showmeyourknits #knitting #knit

100 percent!! I've had to delay my morning radio tune in to save my sanity. The utter bilge Ferrari spouts was detrimental to my mental wellbeing (and blood pressure)

Today's knit off the needles - a dickie! ##showmeyourknits #bskyknit #knittingdesigner #knitter #knitting

If Israel has nothing to hide as is the narrative we keep hearing, why not permit independent impartial journalists into Gaza to report their findings?

Bloody love it

He really doesn't get it. We didn't vote for a party who were going to out nasty the nasty party. No empathy, no compassion, this isn't the labour party I've supported my whole voting life.

Today's beauty off the needles....Triceratops head
