Bacon butties would be grand, Twelly. With English mustard.
Shopping, today. We’ll need (need, I tell you) to buy wine and gin.

Delivery today from “every little helps” today
Good there will be beer
And flour and eggs and all sorts of degredients for the eggless ergo vegan lemming drizzle cake at tomorrow’s baking group
This means I can make double and give my shopping neighbours a cake they can eat
They are mostly vegan as the cook is a vegan and when Daddy is a vegan who cooks for the family meat is a rarity

Thanks to the wonders of the Internetty, Grandson, who lives in Jordan, has collated all the video clips & messages & will send the completed video to his father later today.
I hope that he is able to do summat about my 3rd chin…

How does anyone ever manage to knit using plastic needles? Or maybe it’s just these plastic needles, I don’t know.
I thought I’d have the right size needles when I ordered the yarn for this waistcoat thing, then discovered I didn’t so had to buy some locally and all I could get was these plastic jobs, and it has just taken me 25 minutes to knit two 75 stitch rows of stocking stitch, FGS. It’s as though the yarn just sticks to the blasted needles and will not slide along them.
Real needles have now been ordered and I will have to wait in frustration until they arrive, I just can’t be doing with these useless objects.

What a complete pain! You have my considerable sympathy; I have never got on with plastic needles at all, so any that I inherited I got rid of.

Good to know it’s not just me. I have decided to drown my frustration in this, care to join me?
(In the gin, not the frustration.)

For the reasons you so heartily deplore, plastic needles are very useful for teaching childer how to knit. Otherwise, they are an abomination (possibly unto Nuggan as well as unto Gus).
Tell us more about this weskit, TFM, pray do.

I’ll have a Minnow End instead; gin doesn’t like me.

There is very little to tell really, it is just a very simple (but hopefully, warm) little short waistcoat in a chunky yarn, that should be a useful extra layer when the wind blows. And which should have taken no time at all to knit, cos it’s really easy, just a 10cm moss stitch border and band and otherwise stocking stitch.
I want to get it out of the way because I’ve just bought some of the Loaghtan wool, and that’s waiting for me to knit summat for TFD with.

Yer bee has not been achieving knittily goals, rather I have been with Himself at a socially distanced small gathering, to mark a neighbour’s 81’st. Somehow I am squiffy. Best dreams, all.

SiL shared a socially distanced Chinese takeaway with GD & her fiance sitting at a separate table.
GS & his girlfriend were on the Waptop from Jordan & the 23 minute video was shown.
He seemed to have a good Birthday.
