Tangelled Angel

In my last post but one, I mentioned that we’d been to Clare.
We were there for a whole 6 days. Bliss.
Well, we travelled down and back on 2 of those days, so a whole 4 days really.
I admit, I didn’t do too much in the way of work.
My good man repainted the kitchen and did a really good job too, and braved the elements, including a gusty wind, to put flashing around the chimney breast.

What did I do?  I knitted.  And read, and then knit and swung in the swingy chair, as I call it.
And took photos. Lots and lots of photos.  I won’t bore you with them all.
And went for a couple of walks, though it was too cold and windy on the beach, we had to turn back.
We also went to the local establishment and drank too much with the landlord, so we had to delay returning home from the cottage until the following day (Monday) instead of sunday like we had planned.  Oops.
But I did knit, and seeing as this is supposed to be a knitting blog, here is the result of some of it:

I finally got down and put my mind to finishing the first sleeve of Bridie, and then immediately cast on for the second and got about a third of the way into it, so I’m homeward bound now.

I also did a little bit of knitting on a shawl that I had started before going to Clare, and got a bit done on that.
Its being done in the green ?merino from a cone that I got in Avoca when we went visiting Sharon, and which I never blogged about so you’ll have to go and read the others  accounts of it.
Suffice to say, I also came out with a bag full of yarn and material.Cheryl suggested that I knit a shawl from the green to go with the green linen dress that I will be making (ahem, hoping to ) from some of the material I got from Avoca and I decided that it was a splendid idea!
Thanks Cheryl!
Details to follow at some stage when I get up off my derriere to find the book!!
