Knitting and other creations.

I started my blog in 2011, which was to be my year of knitting. I sucessfully knitted all of the gifts that I gave.
I learnt to knit at my Godmother's knee and have always taken it for granted.

2011 has drawn to a close but my blogging will continue, not just knitting but other creations too.

100WC - Week 4

 
This week the inspiration for the children was the photograph above.  I have read some really imaginative writing.  So for my effort.....
 
I have stood in this park for many years, watching the people come and go.  Watching lovers embrace, couples part and family’s come together.  It is a wonderful place to be to stand, to be to pray for the folk who come and who go.
One morning, whilst the sun was rising, a new statue appeared to be a part of my park.  It seems to have more feet than me, many more feet.  Where I stand on my feet, this statue stands on its head.  I wonder what this new statue will make of my park?

and then I saw a bright light

The two things that I most enjoy doing are flying and singing.  I love to soar beneath the sun in a vast blue sky and to sit in the branch of an olive tree and sing.  One day the strangest thing happened; the sky went black and it did not seem right to fly or sing any more, the world was dark and heavy.  I decided that as it did not seem right to fly or to sing, that I would sit and watch. There were comings and goings and then I saw a bright light.

100WC

I have become involved in a project called 100WC.  Children submit blog posts of 100 words, which incorporate a sentence which they are provided with as inspiration.  I log on, read a selection of the posts and then comment on them to help the children with their writing.

More information about the project can be found here.......

So I thought it would be fun if I wrote 100 words each week as well.  This week the inspiration is 

… and then I saw a bright light…

so I shall ponder this and watch this space as they say.

Lacy shawl

After 10 months of knitting it is finally finished.  My lace shawl project.  I have knitted, taken back and re knitted time and again, but at last I have cast off, Russian style I'll have you know.

It is currently blocking so until then you will have to be content with this photo.

Glorious Lyme Regis

For one glorious week now I have been on holiday, relaxing switching off and recharging the batteries. Lyme Regis had been at its best. I have swum in the sea, slept on the beach and restored my soul.
