Messing around with my blog

I've been messing around trying to get an interesting background - this is actually a picture of one section of my "sampler sweater", a garment designed to use up some stash some time ago. Each colour has a different stitch pattern, and as you can see, it was a circular needle, yoke all in one go job. I swore at the time that I would not make another like that - I'm a big girl to make sweaters for, and man that was heavy work!

It is one of my favourites though, being long and cosy for the winter days we've got coming up.

Now, back to the novel - chapter 17 awaits.
