I've had a pair of flanci leggings sitting in an online basket since November. I've just taken them out and put a skort and capris in instead. Well, it is getting warmer. I may even press buy.

That's not my newt.

My newt is that I went for a walk at dusk instead of during the day and heard my first lapwings and wood pigeons of the year :-) I also stepped in a pile of horse poo because I didn't have my torch on! Oops. I only use a torch if there's a car coming so they can see me, otherwise I like walking without a light.

Lovely newts today.

Mine is to finish a knitting creation! 😜😁

I have been trying to adapt a knitting pattern for mittens to make some fingerless mittens. They’re finished now...



First time I’ve followed a pattern but adapted it to suit what I wanted.

Wow love them Ness.

Press but WA you won’t be disappointed and if you are they have a buy and sell site and stuff doesn’t hang round there long. I sold a pair of fleece leggings I hadn’t even advertised 😂

So my newt today is a bit feeble testing a new contact lens and it was much better than the first ones although cheap as chips £1 reading glasses rock!

I got some skorts for when I was doing long walks. For some reason I felt odd in shorts doing these, can't really say what difference it made! Sadly can't get into the ones I have at the moment :-o

Love the mittens
Love my bam leggings with the side pocket for my phone too
Would wear a skort if it made me feel all flouncy or it cheered me up, even if it was entirely without proper purpose and I looked like a hippo in a tutu

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
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.
