First half of Stephen West's "Painting Columns" is off the needles - now to cast on for the 2nd side before I procrastinate! There is a lot of knitting in this & it could be in danger of "2nd side syndrome" if I don't get it started today! #knittersofmastodon
Back home after the xmas expedition to Wales and trying to get back into the knit routine! I keep getting distracted by the xmas goodies but there is some progress on #Painting Columns - I'm just starting on the main body and there are nearly 300 stitches per row of stranded knitting so this may take me some time! #knittersofmastodon
Very simple mash up of a few knitting patterns to create some slipper socks for my friend with the very swollen & very cold feet. I do hope they will fit. I made notes as I went along so can tweak for a better fit once he's tried them on.

The mad panic of xmas knitting was perhaps not the best time to try to learn how to knit jogless stripes! I'm hoping to make a very warm hat with a knitted lining. The yarn was bought at New Lanark last month. #knitting #KnittingMastodon

Another hat off of the needles ready for donation! 6mm needles & chunky yarn make a quick knit.

Lake Effect Snow Hat pattern by Laura Cunitz

This chunky brimmed hat has lots of interesting features that make it fun to knit and wear. It is my personal go-to hat when I am out shoveling snow where I live in Lake Tahoe. They include:

Playing around on my mobile trying to find out how to add photos & alt text non-knitters need not look!

I spent 40+ years working with young offenders. Then I retired & found myself doing my own family tree!

I was thrilled to discover I had convicts, even more so when I found trial details at the Old Bailey ( I worked there at times)

Then I discovered that 2 of them were transported to different parts of Australia. This morning I finally managed to get my hands on the "autobiography" of one of them. There's plenty of reading for me to do now.

Bright knitting to distract from the winter blues!
