Well a Bank Holiday week-end and the sun goes in!
Although my poppies in the front garden have opened up
They are just a beautiful colour.
Well some of you will know that I live in a town called Newbury and have done so for a long time!. Newbury is often referred to as a market town although we are getting a grip of todays modern life in more ways than one.
Starbucks had recently opened and seems to get a brisk trade through out most of the day. I haven't spotted any knitters in town yet though so have not yet endulged in my Venti Skinny Cappucino and a dose of knitting.
One of Newbury's features is the Kennet and Avon Canal which runs right through Newbury. There is a good pub called The Lock Stock & Barrell which sits along side the canal and today I visited initially for a drink but our visit soon turned in to lunch. David and I sat there for a few hours and how pleasant it was. The sun was shining one moment and the next it was clouded over and yes I had my knitting - even David's jumper was in my bag so out it came and grew quite a few rows. However I have discovered the weight of it has bent my needle.
I have finished the front and back of picot in Rowan Denim and now have to do the collar. The two pieces are both exactly alike
This will get a lot of wear if the weather warms up but I don't think I shall be wearing it to the Motor Show at the NEC tomorrow.
