Nope, Not a Fan

Of too much heat that is. And we’re due more, even hotter, over the weekend. I know I don’t function well in it but it’s the dogs I don’t like it for more. Very early walks and boredom. Evenings are brain training, nothing strenuous. We are lucky in that we have a huge battery on our solar panels and with the sun being out it’s storing the power so I can put on the air con in one room for them for a bit during the day and have our bedroom one on over a good part of the night. It was so worth the investment when we had the roof lifted! The battery just about sees us through so solar powered too!

Not too much has been happening as my studio is in the conservatory and it becomes rather hot. I have been portable with my stitching of the hook book though.

It’s been lined and the pockets made with a antique linen napkin, machine stitched with hand stitch added and used to join outer to inner. There’s vilene stiffener in between.

And now it has my super fine crochet hooks in. These have the barrel stems, if I can find my ancient ones I may add them but I can’t use them that slim any more.

I have also just finished the Snowdrift blanket by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk of Lilla Bjorn Crochet.

Annoyingly I could do with it a few inches bigger. I thought I’d bought more yarn than I’ve found. If I find that yarn someday soon I will undo the border and add a few rounds!

So the tennis is over and it was an interesting one. I’m just going to work my way around watching a few rounds of golf for the 150th Open at St Andrews.

Willy knows how to keep her cool. Anyone would think she likes the noisy air con!

Have a great week.
