Hottest day of the year so far and I've just completed my latest hat! Nice bit of cabling with a cables brim and slip stitch/stocking stitch brim. Hope my dad enjoys opening this up on Christmas day (and that it fits him as it's a little snug!)

Over the last few months we've been enjoying "chapter books" and we've just finished the last one of these wonderful books by Nizrana Farook. That sad feeling you get when you've read all the books. What on earth are we going to read now?!

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin. [Polite comments only, please.]

My latest Christmas hat project. Not quite managing one a month but it's still going! #hatsbyhils

I'm reading this book by @ESOldfield at the moment. So articulate and beautifully written, honest and vulnerable. Would highly recommend, for anyone trying to figure out life, faith and how we can flourish as human beings. ❤️

Next week I go for long awaited surgery on my leg. Bit nervous. But it's ok, I have a knitting project lined up ...

Knitting on gas. Pattern from Jo allport's 10,000 hats, a bit of zig zag fair isle in batman colours for my Marvel-ous brother . Couldn't bring myself to knit in black so grey will have to do!

In an attempt to keep myself sane while I recover I've joined a knit along, alongside 1,000s of folk worldwide to knit myself a "raspberry" jumper out of Icelandic wool. Lots of new skills learned: circular needles, 3 colour knitting and an i-cord collar. So far so good!

Latest bit of knitting: a Nordic stripe hat for Corkie. I've been knitting this in secret while he's out. He's come off social media so I'm able to share!

Our milkie from The Modern Milk Man is great... Today we received this note! In case it's difficult to read he says "finally got a crate the colour of your front door. It will not be changing now so it matches 🙂" Really made us smile this morning! Thanks Matty!

For the last few days when I've gone on Twitter/X I've seen right wing posts from a Trump family member (I can't remember who). It turns out I was inadvertently following them, when I haven't ever clicked "follow" on any trump account. Has this happened to anyone else?

Local singing stars from the Market Harborough district will be coming together for a “Night of Musicals” on November 9th at Great Bowden Church in aid of the Matt Hampson. Tickets are £12 for adults and £3 for under 12s. They can be purchased from Welton'sDeli

Latest Christmas hat. For my lovely little boy. A miniature version of his Dad's. I've converted to circular needles now, so no awkward seam. However for the top I had to go onto double pointed needles which I HATE!
