Been a while since I posted here as it's been a busy time recovering from major surgery, getting back to good fitness, work and also knitting for my guest shelf in the Refill Shop. Thought I would share a sneak peek here. Look out for new Etsy shop opening 2026. ❀️πŸͺ‘

Love it when an impromptu visit to the coast results in a bargain book purchase (Β£1) gives me something of pure joy to read, and to dream of another life. And of course all the better with coffee too.

Happy days and first day of #30DaysWild πŸŒŠπŸ“šβ˜•οΈ

Essential break time before I tackle the weaving and start the steeking on this latest small wall hanging which will be winging its way to Arizona soon.

Wish me luck folks as it's always a nervous time for me - homemade pizza, chocolate, coffee and birdwatching helps though. β€οΈπŸ•πŸ§ΆπŸͺ‘β˜•οΈπŸ«

Excitement in my little yarden today as this lovely Song Thrush makes an appearance. Just goes to show even the most simple things like a plastic dish of water can bring in the birds. Also great inspiration for my next #ecobeanies #beaniesforbirders project. ❀️🐦πŸͺ‘🧢 #knitting #knitwilding

Wow @cassiopeiaknits.bsky.social no I hadn't seen this but what an amazing task to do - and I wish all Curlews were as big as that, they would certainly be better protected that's for sure 😊❀️. Thank you so much for sharing and alerting me to this. Happy World Curlew Day! πŸ™πŸ™

Couldn't let today pass by without celebrating the knitted bobble hat my sis made for me many years ago and it flys out every year on this very special day. Happy #WorldCurlewDay folks and a very happy Easter too! ❀️

Love it when the early morning Sun gives me a Rainbow on the wall and the fridge freezer. The perks of having a tiny window in the back door to allow the #sunshine in - welcome all! β€οΈβ˜€οΈπŸŒˆ #happydays #rainbow #springtime #sunshine #Wednesdaywisdom

If you can folks do go outside tonight as the planets are lining up in a rare planetary parade.

www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

We can see Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Taurus and lots of twinkly stars, Orions Belt etc and a few satellites too. Definitely worth seeing. 🌏πŸͺβ­οΈ #planets

It's early and still dark, but the Song Thrush is singing so centre stage it has. Happy Sunday everyone. ❀️🎡 #rewildingme #birdsong #mybirdinglife #Sundays #birdsuniteourworld

Been busy again in the #knittingcorner with a change of yarn, colour scheme and sizing adjustments. Very happy with the way it's looking and excited to be finishing sleeves and starting the Hood this weekend.

Happy knitting Saturday to me.

My #EcoBeanies journey in sock making has started and after struggling with Magic Loop (which is strange because I am used to knitting jumpers in the round), my first attempt at using DPN's is going well so far. Heel turn next, wish me luck! 🀞🧢πŸͺ‘ #knittingcorner

As it's that "in between" days time of year, I am enjoying spending time exploring my new festive gift #knitting book "Knit Wild".
Cannot wait to cast on new projects. Happy Monday everyone!

Hot off the needles in the knitting corner this morning is a new rustic #EcoBeanies special in colours inspired by nature - the yarn is Icelandic #lettlopi. This one is a #beaniesforbirders design based on a Common Sandpiper - I love the colours. Happy with my new larger branding buttons too. β™₯️πŸͺ‘🧢

Had fun today trying out my new fieldscope and phonescoping kit at RSPB Saltholme, our local #birdwatching patch. Managed to film a Spoonbill and a Common Gull and given they were quite a distance away am really happy with the footage. More #beaniesforbirders #knitting inspiration. #mybirdinglife

#Ecobeanies is venturing into the world of socks and whilst not quite brave enough to turn heels yet, am super happy with my first attempt at tube socks. These are made out of Naturgarn from Viking of Norway. Any top tips for sock #knitting gratefully received. 🧢πŸͺ‘❀️
