Life is busy! So My husband though a mental health day was in order, especially after the last dress rehearsal finished at 8.30pm on Tuesday! ( Quite late for our family). And thanks to the stage manager ( or whoever he is) at the show we discovered a lovely reserve 5 minutes from our place (walking), with beautiful huge trees, some simple swings, a beautiful stream and the locals have planted fruit trees etc (go them!)
We had taken some snacks and dressed warm.
Joska is modeling the
oslo anorak, knitted from some beautiful variegated yarn from the local yarn store and the grey is polwarth from
potters patch. I had to do some adjustments as the yarn knitted up in a bigger gauge (no I didn't swatch first, but not bad for fudging the numbers). It fits perfectly, and It looks so cute!
We also went mushrooming but learned that its good to wait until after rain as we found a grand total of two! We went on a learning trip to the same place last week so I was only picking those I knew were guaranteed safe. But I hope to learn more varieties in future, I love foraging!
All in all, a much needed slower paced day.
joska looks to be loving the warm knits! lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting Melissa! Reuben loved that reserve round by Linden place, I think he came home with wet siblings and no explanation on many occasions. So glad to see you guys enjoying that beautiful part of the world. Keep warm for winter. XXX
