September Favourites / Hot Off the Needles

 Still working on clearing out my aunt's house so creative time and energy is at a minimum, not many cards to share.  I did finally get to use two birthday gifts - thank you Lorraine and Margot. 







Looking at Ravelry  I started this sweater some time in July as a project to use a lot of assorted colours of Irish wool bought on offer. For a while I was able to bring it in to work but once the body got to a certain point it was too bulky. I had to knit in sections to make sure I didn't run out of any colours, so darvon the body, then the two sleeves to match ..




We went to the Botanic Gardens two weeks ago when we woke up on Saturday and it was sunny and mild. I wasn't feeling great and spent the rest of the weekend in bed, so I haven't edited any photos yet but will add a link to the album. I just uploaded the whole shooting gallery to Google photos so that we could look at them on the laptop in bed - normally we look on the big monitor upstairs:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/mj3hMi3VdZWuF3Uh8

The header this month is Warrenpoint up in Northern Ireland, one of the few photos I took last October when C was getting his dental implants.

I love that protea and I'd forgotten all about that lighthouse (I have one too not used yet). Wonderful selections. You look great in that beautiful sweater. You've got such great skills!
