Wibbo's Words

A bit on the big side

The bag has dried. It's larger than I wanted, so I'll chuck it in the washing machine again. For scale, that's my hand in the photo...

Lost two weeks of my life

I've been busy being poorly, coughing, sweating and sneezing for England, but I'm feeling rather better now. I still can't hear properly but everything else seems to be in working order. Mindless crochet has kept me sane over the last couple of weeks.

Half a dozen pots and a large buttonhole bag, all made in Freedom Spirit which felts like a dream. I'll post a right-way-up pic of the bag when it's finished drying.

You wouldn't believe the mess one seagull can make on a windy day...

Germs and more seagulls

I have germs; horrible cold germs. The sort that make you sneeze and cough all the time, not to mention the sore throat and earache...I've almost lost my voice (some may say that's no bad thing) and I've been plunged into that weird, echoey, bunged-up world of not being able to hear properly. A friend of mine calls this 'mermaid's ears' which is a pretty good description.

I'd rather be a seagull sitting in the sunshine and watching the world go by

At last!

Flossie's finally got the hang of reaching the outside world. You just walk out of the balcony door and it's there...

Hat mania

There's a serious case of hat mania breaking out at Wibbo Towers; not content with owning one knitted hat, I now have more to wear. Here's Mark Two,

knitted in two shades of Cascade 220 hand dyed by Liz and striped with a skein of seriously bright handspun by Ms Wormhead.

Mark Three's knitted in Noro Silk Garden and, er, Mark Four in Debbie Bliss Maya is on the needles...

No knitting content

but it's been a lovely day here. It's late afternoon now - slanting shadows and just look at the colour of that sea...

Blank stare

Is she deep in thought or simply enjoying the sunshine?

It's snowing by the sea...
