ABC-Along!

2 of my favourite As right now.


I try to Acquire a piece of Art Annually. One of my favourite local Artists and jewellers is Brian Hoyano. His work is full of Attention to detail and strongly influenced by the natural world.


The Argosy scarf from Knitty rolled up and awaiting its soak and stretch. Quick and fun knitting with predictably gorgeous results courtesy of the beautiful Noro colour changes.

Making progress!

I've finished Imogen and just need to give her the spa treatment. I'm not sure that I would wear this myself, but the hand of the yarn (Alpaca/Wool from Fleece Artist & Handmaiden) is just delicious.


Here is Argosy started in Silk Garden 244. A delightful colourway that I think will be perfect for a turquoise-loving blonde retiree!

Joanne, the highlight on Thursday was a delicious wild mushroom & shallot tart. The twist, pancetta and a poached quail's egg on top. The egg was a very interesting touch. A hint of velvety yolk on top of beautiful crisp puff pastry.
