It's been quite a beautiful spring here so far, with some typical wild wind racing through, but also some calm warm days. And of course all the best flowers are out – blossoms, poppies, and roses. The roses in the top picture are growing in a wild tangle up a trellis beside our front door. They were a gift from Tom's mum Clare, who is the queen of roses – she must have known how well they'd do in that particular spot.

I recently had a change of job – no more editing and publishing work for me, but I'm going to try freelance writing for a while. This means I have a little more flexibility with my time and frees me up to do creative work too. I'm excited to try out some ideas and have time to do textile work that's always in the back of my mind but not quite able to be completed.
One thing I've had in mind is project bags for knitting. Above you can see my latest design, which I made from different types of linen (in a dark green, charcoal and mauve/grey), paired with natural linen that I stamped with wood blocks.
They're the perfect size for a pair of socks-in-progress or a larger project, or anything else really. I have a few in my etsy shop and hope to add more over the next couple of weeks.

I've been enjoying the British TV series Mum – have you seen it? It's quite funny and thoughtful. A quiet sort of watch – perfect for knitting along to late at night. And of course, the latest Outlander season as well, which has all the beautiful costumes and glory of the first two. Have you been watching anything good lately?
