Thankfully, my partaking of the Royal Wedding will be limited as I'll be cooking and probably finishing my tie for my own do ... but if you're in need of a stash buster....

Dear friends,

Some of you may remember the nightmare I was having a few months ago with the Herringbone Jacket I was knitting for my other half from 'Classic Knits for Men'.

Well, I too am embarking on my first lace project and have now started the sleeve (it's a cardigan) more times than I care to imagine.

Well, my 'pleased-with-myself-'cos-I've-nearly-finished' attitude was short-lived. You'll remember my grumbles about the Herringbone jacket from Classic Knits for Men?

So after the wet afternoon, I came home and set about some sewing up of the nightmare herringbone jacket I was moaning about last week...and this is some 'help' from one of my cats...

Yesterday was one of those endlessly grey, rainy London days - and I was looking after my friend's little boy for the afternoon.
