Lyme Regis

 Rog has not been too well following his knee operation so I decided that after yesterday's appt with the GP we would go out for the afternoon. We visited the GP in the camper van and then as the weather was fine, we headed for Lyme Regis. As you can see from the first photo, it was lovely down there. It was hazy but warm and the tide was in. We managed to park down by the harbour and then after some lunch, I left Rog sitting in the sun and went for a wander.

I love to see a working harbour and these nets were on the wall drying in the sun.

In between hospital visits and GP appts I have beeen crafting. I spun this yarn first and then knitted it into a simple scarf. It is fairly rustic when viewed close up but it is very soft and comfortable to wear. I had to guess when to change direction (the pattern has very specific weight instructions, but my digital scales only arrived this morning) but I made a good guess and ended up with about 2 ft spare after the sewn cast off.

This was the start of it, I actually pulled it back to the narrow bit and lengthened it.

I have also been sewing - my machine has come back from a much needed service. When we were in New Zealand a couple of years ago I bought a 'jellyroll' of typical New Zealand fabric and the other day I found a pattern that I liked. This is the start of it  - I bought some green fabric to go with the roll and cut it into 2 inch strips. I like the effect so far but I think putting the squares together might be a bit of a nightmare.

I have made some changes to the settings on this blog and I did it in the middle of this post. The last two photographs enlarge if you click on them, but the first two do not. Hopefully in the future, they will all enlarge when clicked on.
