On the sewing front, I finally tracked down an invisible zip that wasn’t going to cost £6 in postage, so the dress will hopefully be put together later, very exciting! And the sun is shining and I have some summery new fabrics for tote bags to cut today, pics later.
There is also some serious amount of sock knitting to be done, I need 2 finished pairs for my brother in 2 weeks, so far I have 1.2 of one pair and 1 of another, best get to it 
I did talk a newbie knitter into sock knitting the other night, I am hoping she is okay, I did leave her my number so hoping she would call if she wasn’t

New stitchmarkers available in the shop now.
Sorry, there will be no café today, I will be back next Tuesday, see you then.
There is a distinct lack of handknit socks chez moi due to the fact that I have a couple of pairs that needed darning. Now normally the darning in this family goes to my Dad to do but he was a little grumpy so I decided to have a go.
When I dug out the matching yarn I realised how faded my socks are, they are about 4 years old and have been worn lots. The darning is not perfect but not too bad for a first attempt, now to see if they hold up to some more wearing.
My next pair for me will be a pair of Doctor Fosters by the very talented Rachel in some pretty tweedy yarn by the lovely Skein Queen. But first I have to finish up a pair of IOU socks for my brother before he nags me some more
