Cosiness

Chatting with a colleague today

She admired my jumper

 "You are the Queen of cosy jumpers" she said.

"That's because I'm a knitter" I replied.

With our current weather, the more cosy jumpers/cardigans the better!

New in March

A quick reminder of the monthly challenge:

• Read a new author, or just a book I’ve been meaning to for years
• Try a new ingredient/food/recipe
• Explore a new place
• Something knittingly new

So in March I:

• Read some of the Mrs Bradley books by Gladys Mitchell - nearly three of them in fact. Having enjoyed the tv adaptation, I moved on to try the books and found them totally different. I'm glad I didn't go from the books to the tv adaptation because that would have driven me crazy. Even though the tv version had Diana Rigg, which can never be a bad thing!
• New recipe was too cook a ham. I have never cooked a ham before but my husband and I were given a frozen ham for Christmas and Easter with my family seemed the appropriate time to use it. My sister provided me with instructions along the lines of these are your ingredients, dump them all in the saucepan, bring to the boil and then simmer for 2.5 hours. It turned out to be very nice indeed.
• I don't think I explored anywhere new in March, but I did note down somewhere new to explore in April.
• I'm not sure I attained new knittingness either. Unless knitting myself a jumper in just under 4 days counts?
