    Knitted in Regia premium merino yak 4ply in colours Nachtblau Meliert (07515) and Gold Meliert (07504). I used 2.5 balls of each colour.

    :: Until the 30th April 2023 all money raised through this YT channel went directly to my sons previous special needs school. From May onward I will support the school in a different way that’s less sporadic through the help of Patreon::
    My son, Bill, went to gorgeous, tiny, little special needs school for gorgeous special children. Bill and his friends there all need just a little more care, attention, love and guidance to help them access friendships and education. Bill has autism (and a variety of other issues such as Sensory Processing Disorder, ADD, Dyspraxia, Global Developmental Delay and Klinefelters Syndrome) and most of his school mates have similar challenges as well as Dyslexia across the board. Bill's school is woefully underfunded for a variety of reasons that would take pages of text to explain. The teachers aren't well paid yet they are constantly buying supplies the children need that most pupils don't require; such as pen grips and fiddle toys to aid concentration etc...I have been fundraising for a few years now and with your help have managed to help subsidise school trips, buy sensory room equipment, Occupational Therapy equipment, outdoor tables and chairs, a trampoline...and a mini bus!! # billsspecialbus 🤩 All this fundraising helps a phenomenal school that has given so many children a future they would not have been able to access. Thank you so much for any kind of support you give us.

Not much snow but it seems time is flying while it has simultaneously been a long slog of a winter. There is a glitch in the matrix.

    I wear my half and half as a shawl and hold it together in the front with a hand crafted, hammered silver pin whose head is shaped like a bolt of lightening. ( I purchased in Uruguay) years ago.
    The pin is very long - not to be worn at the airport😜
    It does the job of holding the shawl together, I have had many compliments wearing the wrap this way.
    Hope you find a favorite way of wearing yours!

I have a crazy request that actually might be fodder for one of your vlogs - your makeup always looks so lovely. Would you consider doing a "get ready with me"? I know it may seem silly and you don't really like to focus on your looks - but you are a very pretty woman - even though you might not agree or want the attention. Anyway - just a thought! I enjoy seeing the boys and it's kind of sad they're all getting so grown up. See you in April!!

      I will do one of those this April. Don’t let me forget. I have simplified things even more now and found a foundation that’s eco and clean and really really good too, I want to spread the word about that. But I’m the mean time, Maria has dug up an old one you can have a peep at. There’s no product recommendations there though, just speeded up footage of me slapping it all on. 😝

    Ooohh Gayna I love the half and half wrap and love the colours. The gold/mustard looks superb and I think will look really super with denim clothes.Look forward to seeing the progress with the accentuating crewneck and the embroidered flowers sound lovely. It was great to see you again.

      I ended up abandoning that pattern. The shoulders looked funny and I was it enjoying the way the pattern was written and constructed. I’m doing Floof by skiendeer knits now and it’s so much better 😍

    Hi Gayna lovely to catch up. I’m glad that you altered your sweater to fit. I did that recently with my Felix cardigan The neck felt very wide so I undid the rib and added more to effectively double it. I had to knit a second buttonhole to line up with the first one when I double it over. It’s much better now and I’ll wear it instead of a coat in spring/autumn. I’ve been using my measurements taken t VKL in 2018 so I must recheck them I haven’t changed shape or size so I’m not expecting a big difference. I’ll definitely watch the first half of April (I’m not planning to take more than my phone on the Camino so I’ll have a break from most social media while walking) I’m cleaning out my summer house and potting table today using a lot of the. Nancy Birtwistle Clean Green living book . Seed sowing will follow

    You are such a lovely woman. I’m glad that the RUclips algorithm thought I should watch you last year! And, it is you that I can credit with giving me the inclination to learn to knit. Never did I think that I could, with my visual impairment, but I have learned! I knitting a hat now, as I type. BTW, I cry when you talk about Kate. My sister Kate died too. We can miss them together💗💗💗

And so I came across this comment I haven’t responded to because some how I missed it. I’m so sorry your sister died. So very very sorry. I’m an only child so I can only imagine how it must feel and even then I’m probably way off the mark. Here’s a massive hug from me. Xxx

    Hi beautiful 💜
    I have been behind on everyone's videos, 1.5 years behind, to the point that I gave up and decided to start afresh. Except for your videos. I'm going to work my way backwards through them. And I can't tell you how happy I am that that's what I decided to do! That way I can say this sooner rather than later -
    I am not going anywhere!! I do not understand why people would leave just because you started a patreon account... (Makes me think of the TLC song - Case of the Fake People LOL) You are one of my favorite people and I cannot tell you how much watching you brings me joy and laughter!! I can't wait for April!! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up. But if not it will still be there for my quiet moments!💜
    I love you!!!! You are a beautiful person inside and out!! 💜

    hi Gayna (sp?) I really enjoyed this, laughing at several points - you are so funny. That blue patterned Lopi jersey looks incredible on you - the colouring is just perfect. I also love your dress with the pin-tucked back - is that one you have made? As for the garden, I think once you get out there in the better weather your motivation will return. I too begin every Spring thinking I will grow less and do more house maintenance but so far that plan has not worked! I loved hearing your son laughing so joyfully and your other son mowing, I'm so happy you don't edit these bits out.
