Therapy

One of the most theraputic activities known to humanity must be knitting. Especially rib. There's something about knitting four and purling four and feeling the soft doubleknit flow through your fingers which makes one feel better.

This is my latest complete thing! I used Amy Butler's Chelsea Bag pattern. (This is the smaller of the two options, the handbag).
I am always buying novelty print fabric and not always sure that the projects I make up are particularly successful but in this instance I really like the result.

wedding photography - blurb photobook

I have already mentioned that we were guests at a wedding this summer what I haven't done is post a link to some of the photos - one is posted here below and others can be seen by clicking on the title of this post which is a link.

I was asked by the bride to take photos as the groom and his friends dressed the venue with flowers and her family and friends helped her get ready at her home just outside the centre of Cambridge. This was a big responsibility and slightly more stressful than I had anticipated. In the end, I found myself riding to the wedding in the car ahead of the bride sandwhiched between the bridesmaids. In the end, the whole day went off very well and I was even pleased with the result when I sent away for my first ever photobook from blurb in which I tried to tell the story of the bits of the wedding preparations and the background to the formal portraits which I witnessed.
