Shelley Bay and pots of sunshine

I completed Shelley Bay and am very pleased with the end result.  The buttons were from the charity shop just a few pence each.  The yarn was from a friend, so I think the total cost of this cardigan was around £3 and I still have the pattern to knit again and again.

I love daffodils and these are particularly lovely, they smell good too. One vase in the dining room the other in the scullery.  They certainly brighten the place up.

We managed to get out in the garden yesterday.  Peter completed the boarding of the wood store and I cleared the drive and borders of weeds.  I now need a month of good weather to tackle the back garden, its a mess!!  I have prepared 4 meals for this week so that I can go out after work if the weather stays nice.

Wednesday's new WIP

First some food....

I just made this tart - Goats cheese, red onion & sun dried tomato.  I wish you could smell my kitchen right now.  I will have some of this with salad for my dinner.

I have a new WIP this week.

Its Shelley Bay by Sarah Ronchetti, you can find her on the Ravelry Group - Sezza Knits or on her blog.  She is currently doing a KAL for this pattern, so I decided to join in.  The yarn is some I was given recently - Chevy Aran - 50% wool and 50% nylon, not a yarn I know but it seems to be knitting up OK.

One thing I have noticed however is that I have actually got my front mixed up, so the pattern on my cardigan will be leaning the other way!  I'm certainly not going to rip it back and change it now.  That will teach me to read the pattern properly, I know exactly what I've done wrong.  I'm sure Sarah will forgive me
