I think the weather gods don't like me

Two weekends away camping this year and the weather has been identical for both. For those of you at the back not paying attention; I mean rain, and lots of it. Enough to flood a supposed wet weather shelter. Poor guides who I took camping for the first time didn't know what hit them. One bonus it stopped raining for long enough to dry the tentsand take them down. The rain started just in time for us to go home.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blogging silence with the following news

Yes I know, I'm not posting much right now. School isn't so much busy but is turning in to a list of things to do rather than teaching. It's report season, and I seem to be spending hours sat at a computer. I'm also moving house in less than a month (even though I've packed all of 2 boxes, that somehow also seems to be a good excuse!)]

Anyway I finally did something with the pile of knitting that was waiting for a wash and a block (blocking is when you pin stuff out and stretch it, it evens out all the stitches if you're a non-knitter)


This dreadful photo is one row handspun scarf with some of my handspun. It's 3 ply merino, 2 ply's are white and one was a variety of colours.


This Travelling vines and lace scarf knitted up in the sea glass lochan that came in the solid club a few months ago.


and this is a solitary alpaca leg warmer. There is a second but I knit it first on smaller needles and realised it didn't go over my calves...
