Knitting as comfort ... . This morning I’m on an early ferry to the city. Two full days of assessment and workshops for my degree course await. I’m tired, nervous and rather anxious. Thank goodness for soothing stitches! . I should be practicing my speech for this mornings assessment but I think the knitting is more useful for my overall well-being 💛 . #knitshareloveatuniversity
I’m almost over the jet lag and definitely back into the swing of my day job (we won’t talk about all the university course work I need to catch up on 😂) ... . I’m very happy to be home but I have such fond memories of #eyf2019 - it’s a fantastic event that I really love! Surrounded by great friends with ample opportunity to meet new people too - it’s such a joy to be part of this marvellous yarny show. . This snap of me and @Wool yoriginals sums up my weekend. Great times, good friends and plenty of laughter. . Thanks for awesome show @edinyarnfest and a lovely photo @jenireid 💛 . #knitshareloveontour #edinburghyarnfestival2019 #edinburghyarnfestival #woollyoriginals
And just like that, I was home ... . It feels good to be home and for this place to feel like “home”. For someone who has moved so much the idea that somewhere feels like home is something special. For now this place of sunshine feels very much like home. . It’s been a whirlwind few months and I’m very much looking forward to a few months of calm as we ease ourselves into winter here. . Also hoping to find time for knitting in between uni assignments 💛
Sheep 💛 always sheep ... . I’ve spent the last week catching up with my mom and some of my oldest and dearest friends. It’s been such a joy to spend quality time with people who I live far too far away from. . I spotted this cheeky sheep at the ICA in London today. Seemed a fitting knitting related marker for the last week or so. . Hope you’ve had a beautiful weekend 💕 . #knitshareloveontour
