Perhaps a slightly better day, although inactive. I must
march around Drummond Place Gardens tomorrow, willy nilly. Today I waited in
for my cleaner, who didn’t come because she had forgotten that today was the
day when I would be back; and for my Mindful Chef package, which did come.
Here are some more pictures from my time away. I still don’t
have the proper wedding pictures.
Here is the bride, wearing the Unst Bridal Shawl which I
knit for her new sister-in-law Hellie:
It was worn in
similar fashion at Hellie's wedding to Matt, but somehow was displayed better (from a knitter’s
point of view) this time. This was the bride to whom I offered Jared’s shoulder
shawl, I’ve forgotten what it’s called, but she preferred to re-use this one.
Archie and I blocked it for her.
And here are Alexander and Ketki’s sons James and Thomas,
wearing kilt hose I knit years ago for their father:
Meanwhile, here in Drummond Place, I knit four rows of the
Spring Shawl today. Four is a lot, these days. I have nearly reached the point
where I will be doing each pattern row (of the central triangle) for the last
time. But not quite yet.
Reading
I am deep into “Can You Forgive Her” which I must have read
before, as it is a Palliser novel. Sometimes nothing but Trollope will do. Mary
Lou, thank you for the suggestion of “Station Eleven”. I’m sort of against
sci-fi and the future, but I love pandemics.
Nice to see photos of your work in action. And yesterday’s comment was supposed to be ‘post-apocalyptic’, not plastic!
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is lovely (and the bride has lovely shoulders too). It looks to have been a nice day. Thanks for the pictures of the kilt hose as well. Nice to see your knitting move to the next generation.
ReplyDeleteI love the Trollope series. Doctor Thorne is one of my favourite, and Can You Forgive Her comes a close second.
ReplyDeleteI think I like some of these Trollope titles better than the novels: "Can you forgive her?", "He knew he was right". Friends and relatives who don't like post-apocalyptic or any scifi in general (like me), all liked "Station Eleven".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting photos! So glad you enjoyed the weekend and the wedding.

I knew that I had started "Can You forgive Her?" but could I remember anything at all about the plot? Nothing at all. I'm enjoying "Framley Parsonage", however. It does not seem to matter that I have read them out of sequence.
ReplyDeletePictures like that remind me how very light and airy those shawls are.
