Now for something completely different

Who can resist a good Monty Python quote?

On to the blog however, where nobody would expect the sewing machine!

Ok ok, I will refrain from the pointy cushion and skip straight to the comfy chair!

Yep, I finally decided to turn an old set of curtains into an armchair and foot rest cover. It’s not perfect, far from it, but it looks good and does a better job than having said curtain just draped across it…

The kitties certainly approve – there was at least one fluffy menace either on the fabric or the chair the entire time I was trying to work on this!

After this achievement I’m feeling a bit braver about a few other projects I have lined up, ones that hopefully won’t take me so long to get around to doing…

Besides this, as well as a second armchair cover, I’ve been doing a lot of tidying, mending and one final big push with everything the garden has to offer. I have about three buckets of apples and probably three more of pears to sort through, but we’ll get to them when we get to them.

I’ve also picked up my spinning again. It’s slow progress, but it’s getting there. After getting covid my asthma has been bad to say the least, not quite but near the same level of bad as when I had pneumonia (and no, I am not an OAP, I was in my early thirties at that point) but with the increased inhaler use, and stringer inhalers too, I have a permanent shake. It’s not affected my knitting but a lot of my other crafts have struggled.

But I will persevere! I have grand plans that involve hand spun wool, and even more crafts, and the learning of new ones, so I will go on!

Unsurprisingly not a lot of knitting this week, so no finished projects and no wool used. The total hasn’t gone up either so I won’t bore you with the wool count.

Until next week, stay safe!
