The Homespun Home

We’ve had the paint pots out again! This time we have tackled the open-plan snug and conservatory. Gone are the beige walls and the built in storage box and in it’s place we have a lovely clean, light airy space. We painted all the walls a light grey and we have used the same blue we used in the hallway on the chimney breast to create a bit of continuity throughout the downstairs living area.

It looks much nicer we think. We are just waiting for a new rug to arrive to finish it all off. That should arrive later on this week.

On the knitting front, I have made good progress with my Woodland Walk socks. I have just finished the first one and made a start on the second. I am using my own yarn in the Mrs Tiggywinkle colourway. I think it may be out of stock at the moment but I will be dying up some more in DK weight. I think these will be off the needles much quicker than the Nutkin socks.

I couldn’t wait to finish these before casting on the Wood Nymph socks in my very own Bracken Woodland colourway. You can visit my Etsy shop to check out what yarns I still have in stock at the moment.

These are for my eldest daughter and she wants a cuff that she can fold over which is why it is so long. This is another lacy patterned sock pattern and I am looking forward to seeing what this yarn looks like all knit up.

So this week… I have my very dear friend coming over for a visit. I can’t wait to see her it has been far too long! I’m sure that we shall be nattering and putting the worlds to rights over a delish home cooked lunch and cuppa tea. 

It’s also time to get the dye-pots out and restock the shop. I have been doing a little forward planning over the weekend for some autumnal yarns and stitch markers if I can convince my daughter to make them and project bags so keep your eyes out for those!

I’m hoping that this week will be a more productive week all round for me and I hope that you too will have a productive and blessed week.

Take care all and may God’s richest blessings be yours today.
