Not Ordinary Knitting

Had a little walk in Old Rockingham this morning...it's not so 'old' any more with lots of new cafes and a lively art centre and a busy market going on...love that bicycle...


Outside the Art Centre 3 trees have been very tastefully 'yarn-bombed' , they each have a patch incorporated spelling out 'A', 'R' and 'T'...




The Red Hat Ladies have decorated a bench seat nearby in their favourite colours of red and purple...


It doesn't say who created this marvellous metal eagle ... isn't it amazing?



and my own modest knitting, a cardigan un-finished from several years ago, I couldn't find the pattern but worked out the neck and front bands and added some pretty buttons...


I took this 'yarn cake' to France and worked on it this at times, 30 sts wide on 6mm needles using the whole cake and simple seed stitch which I like because it lies flat instead of curling up ... a pretty scarf to gift to some-one special...


We had a nice quiet weekend, it was cold so we stayed indoors and 'pottered' and had a lovely roast chicken for dinner last night so we have lots of left-overs for the next couple of days...I do love left-overs and inventing a new meal from them!

Have a wonderful week every-one,
Love from Sue

  6. I love the cardigan and aim to be able to just know how to finish it. I really enjoyed looking at all of the art work and thinking how clever some people are. A really nice post. Pauline
