just dropping in


g'day!

it's been awhile

as i've said in earlier posts, i'm not much of a writer ...

been madly knitting & trying to finish a commissioned cardigan; finished the fronts only to find the pattern for the larger size isn't large at all, well, that put a damper on my knitting... so i have to make side panels to fit into it, no biggy. I hope...
the lady i am knitting for is quite big, it's my 1st attempt at a large garment, we're getting there...


on the home front, Miss Poppet is settling in nicely, non of the other 2 are friendly with her yet, it's been a year, come on! all in good time i guess.

not much is happening out in my poor dry gardens as i'm too busy knitting lol. 

i did get a fence up between the neighbour & i, progress! now to come up with another few 1000 to get the rest of it done... $$$$$$$$$$$ am determined 

well that's it for now, just letting everyone know i'm still here 

hope everyone is well, happy & safe in your neck of the world



thanx for visiting

  1. Fences are expensive. I spent $600 replacing a small part of min last year. Good luck with the sweater. I hope it fits. Large projects are time consuming. Congratulations on the commission.

  3. Hi, Selina. Lovely to see a new post from you. I imagine it is very dry up your way, did you get any of those storms a few weeks back? We have just had our driveway gates repaired and it cost almost $500. Part of our back fence needs replacing too and we are waiting for the neighbours to organise the quote. Fences and gates don't come cheap! Meg:)

    1. no they certainly don't, especially when you're unable to do it yourself!

  4. Hi Selina ... lovely to see a post again. I do think of you often & hoped that things were ticking along okay in your world. Thanks for your visits to my blog which I do appreciate. I certainly do know about fences ... we got a quote to fence our boundary & it gave me heart palpitations! Needless to say it won't be getting done for awhile. Have a great week Selina Xx

  6. Oh gosh how frustrating about your cardigan. I remember when I was sixteen knitting a sweater for my boyfriend. It turned out twice as big as it should have. I unpicked it all and the one that was the right size went so fast! (lol)
