Lost!

Took me ages to find this again, I really am hopeless!  I have been very busy though and have another 143 hanks of dyed yarn hanging in my barn with the doors open so they dry quicker.  They look so lovely all hanging there together, better than Christmas lights!  Lots of work involved but cannt do anything more till they are all dry now.  Just been trying to find a decent video on you tube to show me how to divide for a thumb on a pair of armwarmers.  Suprising that there were not that many really but with what I tried to work out and the help of one home made video I think I can tackle it now!  Just walked the dogs round the valley and about to start work again.  Taken delivery of a box of dyes which I only ordered yesterday, how amazing is that?  Some companies are so efficient!

Feeling very brave

This is incredibly adventurous of me!  Only cos I'm ill and home from work and I had time to explore this whole new concept!  I decided that it would be a positive thing to do in my chaotic life although I cant promise to have time everyday! I have 4 gorgeous kids and 2 small grandaughters.  I have 2 dogs who I adore and take alot of time walking etc.  I live in the heart of the Somerset countryside in a tied cottage to one of my jobs.  This job is working with horses for a private yard.  The horses compete regularly and do extremely well.  I have ridden since I was a small child.  I also design and make knitwear for a shop in Bath and have worked with the owner for nearly 30 years now.  Finally my 3rd job is working at a knitting shop 2 days a week. I have just started a new venture in dying my own luxury yarns and have just launched these for sale (Saturday)!  So far they have been well received which is exciting!  I have 2 art degrees from UWE and teach art to various groups around the south west.  I think my classes are a bit whacky and different but my students love coming for a laugh and to learn, both of which they do.  I have to figure out how to get photos on my blog I am completely useless at new stuff on the computer without my daughters to help!  I love making bread and stuff and last week managed a sourdough loaf of sorts, it was fine but lets say it needs a bit of fine tuning.  Today is stunning the sun shining and blue skys and the colours are incredible.  Shame I feel grotty but there you go!  Thats it for now!
