Ellie looks lovely, gg.
Love the newt name, Jelly.

My newt is test knitting a different newt pattern using newt stitch. Beanie Boat Nici is a great pattern designer. It's very easy but so effective.

Yay! Two more weeks of Newting!

Not seen/done anything newt yet today... But the plan is to go for a walk tonight, as it is now light enough long enough, with the still newt poles. That will be a nice newt :)

Yes, it's a lovely colour! I did knitting as a skill for my DofE bronze and knitted a baby cardigan for my pregnant form teacher in the same colour.
Jelly shoes! Aka crocs for the 1980s :-)

That’s a pretty pattern GM. I used to knit loads when I was young wouldn’t know where to start now.

I recall many years ago here on fetch a number of fetchies were knitting socks. I bought everything including gorgeous yarn but couldn’t get my head around it at all.

I've been a bit short of newts recently, although I did see a goldfinch yesterday for the first time in years :)

I'm a bit disappointed with one of my earlier newts though. You may remember that I set up a bird feeder on the outside of my office window. It has had no visitors at all yet and it's been there about 3 weeks :(

Oh, that is very disappointing! Is it high up?

About This Thread

starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
