Another Balaclava, Solar System and Listening

17 Feb

Live-wire T requested a balaclava like her big brother’s and chose some fabulously bright multi-coloured wool. I have been knitting at the speed of light to get it done in time for her trip out to the Maritime Museum in Falmouth this morning. It is yet to have the hearts sewn on but was wearable this morning.

Most of the time at the museum was spent making planets for a hanging solar system each.

I asked Live-wire T to model her balaclava for me when she was listening to One Direction! She was willing to lose the headphones for only a moment!  T is very taken with the fact that I used to teach English to Louis Tomlinson when he was in Year 9.

Ex-Pupil, Mace and Rainbow Yarns

23 Dec

1   It always amuses me when I see this lovely face looking out at me from some merchandise, today, while wandering through the supermarket.  Louis Tomlinson of One Direction was a lovely pupil in my English class many years ago! It’s his birthday tomorrow, so Happy Birthday Louis!

2    We are having a goose this year for Christmas dinner and I collected it this morning. This afternoon I have made the stuffing, leaving it now for the flavours to mingle. It has sausage meat with onion, apple, Armagnac-soaked prunes, sage, cloves and mace all mixed together. My mace is from some brought from Jamaica by my Sister-in-law when she went home a few years ago. I did not know until then that mace is the beautiful outer layer of a nutmeg.

The other day, I discovered a beautiful project for my recuperation days that requires yarn in every colour of the rainbow. Here they are:
