Gaming Socks

 

A new pair of self striping stripy socks. The colour reminded me of the Dungeons and Dragons setting ‘Icewind Dale’ where you adventure in a frozen northern land. 

Drawing Dystopia

 

Inspired by the fantastic book ‘Concrete Concept’ I thought I’d try drawing some c20th buildings. This is in Aberdeen. Coloured pencil on black paper gives an interesting effect.

Woolly Wonder

 

The collector in me had to have the set of these sock wools in colours chilli, tex-mex and guacamole! 

Welcome Autumn

 

It’s Autumn! One of my favourite seasons with the berries and leaf colours. To welcome Autumn breaking out, doing a seasonal clothing changeover. On with the cords (I just made these) and the seasonal nail polish changeover (this is Essie Angora Cardi, a warm pinky red). 

Thumb Gloves

 

Knitted fingerless gloves and then added a thumb bit. I’m not sure why they look different sizes they are the same on. In my favourite colours; pink, green, teal on a grey ground. 

New Projects

 Starting some new things:

Knitting a black jumper in hairy Icelandic wool

Sewing a drapy cardi in dark green linen jersey fabric . I love linen jersey but its hard to find.

Reading the British Librarys Tales of the Weird short stories. The first volume is ‘Evil Roots’ killer plants. Lots of highly entertaining gothic stories. I quite like books I can dip in or out of at the moment.

I don’t have to work at the weekend over the winter.

Stewed apples from our tree in the garden and ate them with custard. 

Begonias

 

 

My many begonias are having really weird exotic flowers, which I am obsessed by.
