Editor, knitter, quilter, reader. Do your fellow humans often disappoint you? Making things helps. In Canberra, Australia, mostly.

Knitting for small people is so rewarding. Whole garments in a few days!

Finished except for buttons. Should be on the grandson by the weekend. A week’s solid work. Now I go back to the other projects…

The view from my knitting spot right now. I think I have too many projects going. #knitting

This Australasian darter was not interested in the view. But that Canberra winter sky! 🪶

It’s lucky this sweater will be finished today, because that blue yarn is calling me. #knitting

Some recent knitting. Just the best way to unwind.

Glad you found one. Here’s a visitor to my family’s beach house. They are majestic birds.

This guy? Hundreds of them on my street in Canberra. They will wake you every morning.

Latest off the needles, a new cardigan for the littlest grandchild. Watching the stripes change was fun #Knitting

I have just moved from a 1000 sq m garden to an apartment. But six weeks in, here’s the harvest from my garden bed.

Some recent finished projects #knitting.

Lucky beetroot and mint go together 🌱

This guy appreciates our new fence. The lizards he was scanning for, probably not so much. Kookaburra, mid-north coast NSW Australia 🪶

The flowering gum in my inner city garden brings all the rainbow lorikeets to the yard. Sydney, Australia, 2024. 🌱🪶

Christmas Eve, New South Wales, Australia

Bees in the guava blossoms 🌱

December sunset, mid north coast New South Wales, Australia. Merry Christmas everyone.

A glorious peony in Devonport Tasmania. Can’t grow them at all where I live, so it was a pleasure to see 🌱

Finished these and gave them away the same day. Learnt a new stretchy cast off as well #knitting

Tasmanian waratahs in the bush at Lake St Clair National Park. The most beautiful plant in the forest 🌱

Mine is setting heaps of fruit in faraway Australia. Must be a good year.

He scorns camouflage

Not everything round here at the moment is jacaranda coloured 🌱

Sydney in November, it’s jacaranda time

I really shouldn’t have started a third big project, but I really couldn’t help it.

Must be mulberry season

At least this week wasn’t a total loss

End of feed.
