Sunday morning rambles

Gurnard Seafront Beach huts
Hello,

The weather has been a little unpredictable of late, but the last Sunday was a bright sunny day, just perfect to explore a local yarnbombing project. I had not been able to get over to look at it with all the preparations for Open Studios which just take over my world for a while.

A knitting group that meets regularly in the Gurnard Press cafe and newsagent, together with the children from Gurnard Primary School had a plan to liven up the local area. They also raised funds for a couple of local charities - Mind and Ability Dogs for young people

The creativity was amazing - it totally transformed an ordinary street into a place where people smiled, talked to one another and stopped to admire the hard work. I loved the wrapped trees and the little pom poms in the verge, such a neat fun idea.

  
It also gave me the chance to spend some time with Jo before she went off to France with the Medina Community Choir. They go on tour in Europe every 2 years, this year they are returning to Saint-Didier-en-Velay, although the temperatures should be a little cooler than the 40+ degrees of the last visit.

 
It also gave me a little time to work on one of my current Wips which is the Pimlico Scarf, which is a KAL by the lovely Little Bobbins on her Ravelry Group - Little Bobbins Knits. Of course I had to have a lovely coffee while we were there... and a lovely coffee it was too, I heartily recommend the Gurnard Press if you are ever over that way.

I will keep you updated on the progress of what is on my needles, and going on here on my little island, until then, may your yarn run smoothly and knot free..
