A Wee Crafts In Progress Post, including OFMD

rafts!

I'm knitting a baby blanket and a pair of Our Flag Means Death mittens and suddenly also have an excuse to knit a cover for a hot water bottle. Cosy knits in the current damp weather!

I also tried to knit a little sailboat on something -- and made a frame for an Our Flag Means Death print I coloured in!

Are you crafting anything new?

I have a soft spot for milk jugs. I have quite a few, though it can't really be called a collection. I should put them together for a proper photo!

The other day, I got a new one, when I bought this delightful set of espresso cups from Broccoli Brocante.

Crafts in 2024 Roundup!

rafts and baking!

Crafting roundup for 2023 is here, including a scarf I knit with wool from Finland!

I posted my 2022 crafts roundup and cited new goals for 2023:

One friend has requested a shawl; I'd like to try something fancy (before next Christmas!). I'd like to try yet another complicated Kate Davies pattern. And finish the blanket/wrap I started last year!

I didn't cite goals for 2024 :p

For this year, so far I've got a knit-a-long planned, for a pair of mittens! I've had the same goals for ages, to improve at crochet, to try spinning...but I think just making it a habit to knit more regularly will be enough!

Michael Palin! Talking about his latest book, another edition of his diaries

This was a Guardian Live event online, a fun interview, and some audience questions

His favourite Monty Python sketch is the cheese shop!

One of his favourite characters from the films is the Centurion in Life of Brian, the one who was momentarily pleased at not having to make crosses anymore

So glad that participating online was an option!

Hope you have some delicious feasts planned over the holidays!
