We've just come back from our walk and to put it bluntley , it's bloody freezing.Mind you I've felt the chill all morning as i have spent it in the kitchen dyeing , more later.
We have been lucky with the Winter weather though , we've had hardly any snow round here . Unlike down south where it's been terrible . Think I've changed my mind about wanting to move down to Devon :0)
There was the first signs of Spring today . These are Pussy Willows breaking through . Sorry It's a bit blurred but Meg kept brushing against the branch .
Tinny leaf buds on another tree . Not sure what it was but It's coming to life .
And it looks like Moley had abandoned the whitewash ( Wind in the Willows readers will know what i'm talking about )and come to the surface for a look round .
As I said before i've been dyeing again , wool this time . I have been putting a new plan into operation this time , as far as dyeing is concerned . I usually go at it like a bull at a gate and dye the whole lot at once . This time i'm being a bit more methodical and doing 2.5 kilos every other day . That way I can get it dried and reskeined more easily . This was todays lot hanging up to dry.
This si some I did at the begining of the week . I will be uploading it onto my Shopblog when I've got all th other wool done .
I've been doing some knitting as well . Made myself a new hat and of course when DD saw it she wanted one as well . Mine's the red one to go with my purple coat . You know " When I am old I will purple with a red hat " It's one of Woolly Wormhead's patterns called Meret . It didn't take long to make either . I used some of my Jet from my stash . It's very warm and I don't look like my Mum when I wear it :0)
