Love of quilting and yarn, treating people like people not labels and keeping busy, all while playing with my mini schnauzer.

I'm knitting myself a new version of my first ever self published pattern. The Dragonscale scarf. If you want to join me in a very impromptu KAL please grab a free PDF copy of the pattern from my website. I'm using Cygnet Boho yarn from @GermanderCC

@LouiseTilbrook1 Excellent news. Thank you.

Uuurgh 8 yr old niece birthday wish list has arrived. It’s filled with Potter things. I guess we’ll be going off list this year.

How about some books by a different author?

@KnittingWyrd @LouiseTilbrook1 🤢🤮

@LouiseTilbrook1 Right now a hot tub seems more like a liability than a luxury.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@Velociraptoria_ I love Bernadette. Enjoy your many hours watching her at work.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

Moved this slip stitch beauty off my needles to get started on the pps kal. As it moved across it very clearly told me that it’s NOT a cowl it IS a hat.

So I guess I know what I’m doing once I loose my covid brain.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@LouiseTilbrook1 Years later I re read stuff which makes me happy.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@Velociraptoria_ Other peoples baby announcement are still hard to see jump up in social media and the default ‘happy endings’ one year on... to rom coms still hurts even after adopting two wonderful kids.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@Velociraptoria_ After 11 years of trying and failing to become pregnant any mention that I am or could be is still devastating to me. Don’t pat my body and say something you ‘think’ is good news while destroying me utterly then be shocked at the reaction from either me or hubby!

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@LouiseTilbrook1 I’ll be joining you soon enough when I get my strength back 😉

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

More of this, please.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

So it’s confirmed I officially have covid. I feel like crap and don’t have the energy the either knit or crochet. The Dragonscale KAL will continue but I won’t be posting progress as I’m making none. I’ll be absent from internet until I begin to get stronger again. Stay safe all.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@LizCorke This is beautiful 💗

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@KnittingWyrd I got the book and have yet to try the techniques. Are they complex or Relatively straightforward to manage? Definitely on my todo list.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@GermanderCC I can’t wait to see how the colours work up.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@ramsay_baggins Just as with everything else it’s practice and muscle memory. Doodling could be a low pressure way to get your hand in.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@DrChemistryEmz I’ll take the test just to be sure. Oh shit!!!! First time in my life a home test has had two lines.

The only place I’ve been is up to London for a hospital appointment. The rest of the time I live like a hermit as that’s how I prefer it to be.

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

After making my way to bed with temperature, sore throat, cough and raging earache it turns out I’ve tested positive for covid on a lateral flow. Self isolating and livid I had to go into London rather than stay safe at home. Selfish bastards who wouldn’t mask up on the train🤬

[Babs Rudlin (she/her) @BabsRudlin]

@LouiseTilbrook1 I’m so close to just sobbing like a baby. Just had to text son and tell him he can’t come and stay over. First time in months he’d have been home properly.
