At Home Sewing and Sowing

When not out enjoying nature, I can be found at home usually with needlework in hand.  My lovely friend Nicola of Bumble Stitches started a stitch a long #pocketfullofposies and I joined in by starting Feed The Soul by Stitches Through The Years

I'm stitching this 1 over 2 on my own hand-dyed 40 count linen, Catkin, using threads from stash.  Some colours are the called for and some I have substituted.

I have finished my Stillness Shawl by Helen Stewart.

It is a beautiful design that includes lace and texture sections.

Knit in 4 ply using wool by The wool Barn and A Homespun House.

I have yet to take a final photo of it as it is so big!

I have also been gardening a lot, sowing seeds and getting the allotment ready.  The trees in our garden blossomed and lasted longer than usual because we didn't have much rain.
