stitching a cold away

lying low with a cold of a cold. nothing better than some stitching. my friend blandina gave me a skein of nettle yarn some time ago and i wove it.had this small piece that ended up as you can see with some printing and stitching.just comfort work akin to comfort food.

trying to consciously avoid doing circles
which have become another visual cliche.
remember swirls?
maybe this looks constrained, but hey, no circles.

mitts finished

i feel very accomplished w. the knitting machine because i can whip a pair of fingerless mitts in two hours that including the piecing together. i have another skein in rainbow colors for another pair.

cannot say the same of the fabric i am trying to knit to make a cut and sew sweater.(╯︵╰,)

but i will persevere until i get something. covering my back i already ordered some more yarn just in case. said she who was downsizing.

last wee there was a long bank holiday and we went trekking. we did about 10 kms and the beauty of it was that we were in the middle of nature,woods,river and with public transport to take us back home.one can get spoiled here.
