Long time - no blog!

Unfortunately, no-blogging hasn't necessarily meant more knitting. Just loads to do with kids, school, business, family and garden . GARDEN - you can actually hear things growing; I was actually standing contemplating what to do next when I heard the faintest, but distinct pop! and our fabulous poppies were opening before my eyes!

Garden inspired I have managed to make a start on the "Green Man Project" for the Mid-Essex Weavers, Spinners and Dyers planned, permanent exhibition at the Cressing Temple Barns. We are producing 16" x 16" textile panels based on the Green Man theme so I have begun knitting/crocheting a selection of leaves to frame the face - the idea for the Green Man to be peering through the foliage. I'm planning to dye some of the fantastic Gedgrave Rasta green to make a beard and hair - it's fabulous being able to mix and match texture/colour and pattern - it's just knowing when to stop!
