No coupons spent, but mended a pair of knitted socks, note to self: don't do heals and toes in normal 4ply, just cos you don't think you have enough sock wool!!!
And I also sewed a split up in one of my cotton hankies that got caught up in the zip of my fleece!!

It’s meant to have buttons on all the eyes, but I felt (correctly, it turned out) that my niece would not want that. She still has the sweater, but it’s mostly too warm for her. It was a great knit and I’d make it again.Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.8

That owl gave me virtual joy this morning.
Awake too early for my liking, so its giving me 'Insomniac Owl' vibes LOL
No coupons to report of late, but I was gifted a jumper and some sweatpants yesterday which my lovely mum found in a charity shop. Although she didn't know who'd they'd be for, they're age 11-12 and age 12-13 so they might be for me or DS LOL!

Thanks Pip - its amazing what a bit of sugar will do! I've managed to unravel it and get the stitch markers in place, and I've started to knit things up again.
Not been a good time - this morning OH pointed out where the moths have been chewing on my navy cashmere jumper! Red cashmere jumper is now in the freezer.....Sealed Pot Challenge no 035.

That jumper is lovely - is it a Kate Davies pattern ? I'm tempted to get the ebook for the other patterns, especially the baby blanket...PollyWollyDoodle said:Surviving the ups and downs of life with DH

Yes @dreamyd it’s Kate Davies, I bought the pattern on Ravelry I think. I remember knitting it on a cruise to Norway! It’s a very easy knit because most of it is knitted in stocking stitch in the round.Life is mainly froth and bubble: two things stand like stone. Kindness in another’s trouble, courage in your own.7
