Knitting and spinning – not a lot to report really – a BIG bundle of Shetland arrived from bluefaced last week, and although I’m intending to dye most of it at Liz’s on Saturday, I’ve been using it to practice with while it’s still white too. (And I’m getting better – but there’s no way you’re going to see the results of my attempts so far at Navajo Plying (which made so much more sense once I realised that it’s basically crochet on a very large scale). Knitting – the main item is unbloggable, and I’m plugging away at the Shetland Garden shawl (I’m on row 158 of 174 – about 11 hours work to go… ).

So I shall distract you with foody things:
– I made lavender (lavender/lavendar? – one of those where the more I look at them the more they both look wrong) ice cream last week – lavender (I’ll stick with that) from the garden, eggs from the garden (well, from the chickens, but they live in the garden) and served with raspberry sauce made from rasps from the garden.
– we’re not that keen on blueberry muffins in this household – they seem a bit pointless – yes, they have pretty blobs of colour in them, but they don’t taste of anything much. So yesterday I made redcurrant muffins – now those DO work – little morsels of tartness – although if I make them again I’ll add a touch of cinnamon.

And if that’s not distracting enough – I’ll distract you with a small and dishevelled girl:

Oh, and I’ve been rubbish with Saturday Sky recently, but I did get this Tuesday sky:

(And I need to do a big thank you to Rosie for something, but it’s currently buried under a pile of washing up, so I can’t photograph it, and it deserves its own photo… )

Hmm, I’m thinking there’s a problem with your blueberry muffins if they don’t taste like anything! Mine are blueberry good and juicy. :)
