http://www.passagesoflife.com/2015/06/cooking-in-sun.html
Sunday, 14 June 2015. Cooking in the sun. I have just come inside from topping up my Vitamin D intake. It was very warm on the balcony and I could easily have gone to sleep out there. I should have had some knitting but I have been lax about that for a while. My fingers are still sore and twisted and I have not done much. Two or three warm hats is about all I have done lately. I was glad it was not the weekend for grandchildren. They would have had to find things to do out of the place. Miss M is...I see...

Sunday, 26 April 2015. Anzac Day again and rosemary for remembrance. It is the centenary, a hundred years since the first day at Gallipoli. What lessons can we learn from it. Where do we go from here? It would be good today that there will be peace, but let's face it. That won't ever happen. Perhaps it is about how we face adversities. Today is cold and damp again and grey. But at least the pictures show there was some sun. Links to this post. Sunday, 19 April 2015. Just a quick post this morning to supp...

Friday, 19 June 2015. It is now two weeks since I realised my son had passed on his head cold to me. Two weeks fairly well blanked out in a fog of stuffed head. I am finally beginning to think that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Son was affected as badly as I was and he had a couple of days off work. Here is a picture from my phone. The old saying goes along the lines of "red sky at night, shepherds' delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherds take warning." After a day's rain, there...One of th...

Wednesday, 30 April 2014. Very dead, definitely not an evergreen. About this time last year I bought two kits from Jared Flood. The first I made as a Rosebud hat a present for one DIL. I liked the pattern but did not like the wool It was splitty and full of vegetable matter and seeds. I doubt Australian Customs would have been impressed if they had inspected. Their policies are very strict, as they ought to be. The second was for the Sempervivum. So what did I find? Links to this post. I like gnocchi but...

http://www.passagesoflife.com/2014/06/hats-for-hydra-or-four-heads-are-better.html
Thursday, 12 June 2014. Hats for the hydra or. four heads are better than one. They are a great way of using up stash yarn. Heaven knows I could knit hundreds and not need to buy yarn. I find that knitting a variety of hats makes them less boring. So there are stripes, ribs, some lace, different styles. The other two are made from Quince and Co in Owl or Owl Tweet. That's an Aran weight. I cast on eighty stitches, knit till it looked around the right length and decreased. Quince and Co Owl. I believe the...

Wednesday, 19 March 2014. You won't believe this. Not quite two weeks ago, Miss T, the older sister of Miss M, fell at school while playing a game of bullrush. She now has a greenstick fracture of the left wrist and as the swelling had subsided, a pink fibreglass cast was put on the wrist on Monday. DIL has more than enough to do ferrying Miss M to chemo, kidney tests etc., without having to fuss over her big sister. What about eating? I have written to the state secretary of the organisation to say that...

http://www.passagesoflife.com/2014/06/progress.html
Wednesday, 4 June 2014. I have been making steady progress on the Acadian shawl. It will block to perhaps more than a wrap but not really a shawl. I have done 13/23 repeats of the diamond edging, so am over halfway to the finish. I have only three more repeats before I start the decreasing in the body of the knitting. So I sat down just after breakfast in the sun which was just coming in then. What a virtuous feeling darning produces! I pulled out my cowrie shell which was always used for darning. I ...

Wednesday, 18 June 2014. It's finally turning to winter. The nights are getting decidedly chilly and the other morning it was only 4° C here, which is cold for close to the sea in Sydney. I have seen it colder but not often. Today is beautiful, very sunny although the morning was cold. We've had some needed rain as well. Links to this post. Thursday, 12 June 2014. Hats for the hydra or. four heads are better than one. There is one more hat with a pink strip around the edge from the Powderpuff Suzyhausfra...

Thursday, 10 July 2014. I have been making chemo hats, hat after hat. It helps my state of mind and I like to think that every hat made is another little head warmed. My son tells me that hats are always in demand at Westmead Children's oncology, and it's a way to show gratitude for Miss M's treatment. I use only good yarn, with alpaca, merino, cashmere, silk etc as part of the mix. Miss M had tried some hats on but said they were scratchy. However, she approves of mine. Which is on reclaimed river land ...
