Sunday and Monday

Sunday morning and no rain so we head into Saintes for the huge brocante in the Hyper U car park. Loads of stalls but nothing (affordable) that leaps out saying 'buy me', so we all leave empty handed. After a quick stop at the Sunday morning market to buy prawns, vegetables and strawberries we go home for lunch and more knitting.

On Monday we spend a quiet morning at home working on our projects and in the afternoon my craft group come along for a knit'n'natter, lots of gossip, tea and cakes.

It is the last day of the holiday and we have achieved a huge amount. Stephanie has persevered with her beautiful lace scarf and two hats, Juliet has made some lovely crochet flowers and jewellery, experimented with crochet trims and finished a pair of bootees and some Easter chicks. I have finished a Debbie Bliss Ballerina bunny and my project for Knit Now mag.

31st March

It is the end of another month and after more howling gales and rain yesterday we have some sunshine this morning. This is the view from my office window, taken early in the morning. Spring seems to come and go, I can't believe it is Easter already and we have only sat outside in the garden once so far this year!

Rowan have a free pattern on their website for a cute Easter Bunny knitted in Rowan Revive if you want a quick project.
