Cake, cocktails, and other long weekend adventures

We’ve had a friend over from the UK for the last two weeks, and it’s been such a fun time!  It’s so nice to have longer visits with faraway friends.  It’s also given us a chance to cook, bake and mix some extra yummy things and do some sight seeing that we might have otherwise missed.

So pleasing!
It’s only Tuesday and our room is already a bit of a disaster. There’s clean laundry to put away, dirty laundry to wash, it’s in desperate need of a vacuum and dust (if you look closely you can see the dust motes floating on the breeze) and I definitely don’t want to talk about what’s happening inside the wardrobe. Buttttt today I moved our special blanket from its usual home on the couch in the living room and laid it out at the foot of the bed. And now I do a little happy dance every time I look in 🤎🖤🤍
Wednesday walk 💕
The many stages of trying to take a photo of a finished object, in order of appearance: awkward dances, confused faces, okay that will do.
I’ve got quite a few knitting projects on the needles, along with so many ideas and plans, that sometimes when I do have a quiet moment to work on them, I just can’t actually settle on where to start. That was the case during nap time today and rather than sit paralyzed by indecision, I grabbed the bag that holds my beautiful @bordertart boro box a lovely gift from my friend @ndsharp . I started stitching on it last spring and have gotten it out again to take part in the #bordertartstitchalong . I love opening up the little box to pick the next bit of fabric ... like rummaging through a treasure box. My hand stitching skills are pretty non-existent but hopefully by the end, I’ll fee a little bit more proficient !
Today is the launch of @jenacknitwear and @veuftricot Confident Knitting ! To celebrate, I grabbed some of my projects from their previous two year-long books. This little pile doesn’t do justice to the ah-mazing amount of learning that’s happened for me with these books! It’s no exaggeration to say that I rarely cast on a project where I don’t use a tip, trick or technique from A-C Knitwear. And it’s a real privilege to get to help out a bit behind the scenes! I can’t wait for the first pattern release on 1st March and the accompanying knitalong — they’re always really good fun and I’ve made some amazing friends through them 💕
