Hot hot hot

It's hot in Kent today, I don't know how I managed to work in this heat. And it's still hot as I type this blog post (from my new iPhone) and the outside temperature is 30 degrees at 9pm!

This is my office temperature today with two fans going flat out.



Moss was feeling the heat tonight and Ian suggested using a cold wet wash cloth so I used one of my old ones, he enjoyed it and I didn't want to hose him down because he'd just smell of wet dog!


Doesn't he look cute?!

My plants are doing ok and we've been watering morning and night. The cucumbers are loving the heat and we ate our first one last night, really lovely.


As you can see they are growing really well. The plants my sister gave me are over taking the homebase grafted one!



Almost ready to eat.


The salad bar, cues, toms, purple teepee beans and salad bowl. And Moss hasn't touched any of it.

Enjoy the rest of your week and garden. It's too hot for crochet but here's a photo I took on Sunday. 90 granny squares

It was a bit hot to work today wasn't it. But perfect for a glass of wine outside whilst admiring the garden tonight. Your dog looks wonderful. :) x

That certainly was some heat yesterday, with more predicted for today. Although thunderstorms are also in the mix. Your salad bar is wonderful, I am a great fan of growing in post/bags along the patio.

Denim Daisy Granny Square construction

And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book  Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction  Notes:  You need to make 18 grann...

Easy eyelet yoke

I’ve recently started my first top down jumper and I don’t know why I didn’t start one sooner!  Trying on my easy eyelet yoke sweater in June! It’s so chilly I was quite happy to try it on. With just 4 inches of the body to knit before the border and then the sleeves. I’ve knitted in hand dye Aran yarn from Fiona Sew Happy Creative it’s beautiful to knit with and I’m mixing up some skeins I had in my stash including Bee Happy. I’ll use this for the sleeves blending into a similar colour for the end of the sleeves. Really happy with the fit. I chose the Xl size with 5.5mm KnitPro Cubics tips. I think it will need 600g in total (roughly size 14) pattern by Knitatude if you’ve always wanted to try top down knitting I recommend you try this pattern
