Snoods and steps

This has been a busy week away from work ...doing lots of nice things...like finishing off my advent calendar
.......finishing off the snood I have been knitting for Jenny......
....then turning this scarf into a snood with a quick twist and a quick seam.......

....then a visit here to see Jenny......
...and more shopping here in the Trafford centre.......


....this giant knitting is a window display in Gap....
....and this was a magnificent staircase in the Trafford Centre too...
....a bit of a contrast to these steps on Hadrian's Wall yesterday.....

....when we went out for a walk in the fresh air ................... Sycamore Gap .... always makes for a great photo...

A Bumper Crop

Not a very rustic basket to put my crop of apples in - but there were so many a laundry basket had to be pressed into service . After last years poor crop - we have a bumper crop this year.
But what to make with them all ? Crumble of course.....and then there was parsnip and apple soup or parsnipple soup as it is known here!
A trip to Newcastle yesterday and I bought some wool to knit a snood for Jenny - and then this quilt book was only £1.99 in a sale! I can't resist a bargain.
This is my next quilting project - an advent calender made from a panel - shouldn't be too difficult I hope.
and at last I have finished the baby cardigan in the lovely soft Bamboo yarn from Sirdar. Isn't it cute.
