    Enjoy the weekend away and lots of crafting time. Bigby is adorable and Ms. Heidi is so cute, I’m sure she misses you.

      Thanks Mary. Digby is largely ignoring me, but he's happy for me to walk him, so that will do fine xx
      Hope all is well with you xx

    Hi Les!! How nice to see your notification come across my screen this evening... it was just after 9:30 pm here in Sunny CA. Heidi is delightful as always!!! I see she must have heard me call her just before she jumped off the couch!!!! 🤭🤭🤭
    Your sweater is wonderful!!! I am a color mixer, too, so your things are ALL up my alley!! It looks so comfy!!! I've had about enough of this heat and am ready to bring out those sweaters!!
    I was sooo happy to see you tonight.... been a bit melancholy today..... it's my 32nd anniversary and I miss my sweetheart...... so thank you for sharing your humor and personality with us!!! Warm hugs and cuddles for Digby AND Heidi!!! Hope your weekend was or is restful!!!

      Hi Sharon - I am so used to a 24-hr clock that I forgot the difference between am and pm! D'Oh!
      Yes, Heidi heard you calling her - so she went looking for you xx
      Sending you all the hugs on a difficult day. It's great to have memories, but that's not the same as making more of them. Take very good care of yourself and, if you can, treat yourself to something lovely, be that a good coffee, a walk (if it's not too hot), or some other little bonus. Take care, my lovely and look after yourself.

      Hi Les!!
      You are sooo sweet!!! I was just having a one person pity party..... lol!
      I am putting a new roof on, so that will be a gift to me for a couple years...... OMG!!! How pricey can it be?..... Hoping your dad is doing well.... he has some wonderful girls!!!!! Have a good weekend, dear friend!!!! Please give Heidi some cuddles!!!!!

    The finished sweater looks wonderful. Congrats! Hope you enjoyed your time o' chillin' with Digby. As an elderly gent myself, l totally understand a preference not taking long lopes across a field. Me neither.

      Hi Frank - life is much more civilised with the more mature - dogs and people. I'm not anti-youth, just of an age where I like to be able to choose. Thanks and take good care xx

    Morning Lesley. Have a lovely, quiet, crafty weekend. Love the new sweater. Thankfully, the weather has cooled significantly here. Still not sweater weather, though.
    I'm trying to finish a blanket for my friends 60th birthday. Just the border to go. I'm on the last minute as it's been too hot to work on.
    Have a great weekend. Xx

    • @NotQuiteEnoughYarn
      @NotQuiteEnoughYarn  Рік тому

      Hi Angela - hope you get the blanket finished -it's certainly not been the weather for working on it. Hope you are keeping well and the family is doing okay xx

    I'm so glad that you are going to have a quiet weekend of knitting. Heidi is cute, as always. My project bag(s) seem to be about twice the size and weight of my suitcase. 😂 Heaven forbid I run out of things to work on while I'm away. Happy knitting. ❤

    • @NotQuiteEnoughYarn
      @NotQuiteEnoughYarn  Рік тому

      Hi Judy. I'm glad it's not just me! But then I remembered I had put a bag of Christmas gift crafting into the case, too. Chances are I will get cross with myself for not having done everything!
      Hope you are keeping well. Thanks and take care xx

    Good morning! Heidi looks so cute. I hope your sisters pooch had a nice weekend with you.

    I hope you get cooler weather - should be sweater weather soon! I’m in The States in North Carolina and we’re getting cooler weather in the low 80s and high 70s and dipping down into the 50s tonight - yay, hopefully, autumn is on the way! I’m finishing a kitty hat by later today. Have fun with dog sitting - I’ll be kitty sitting next long weekend.

    Hello Lesley, your sweater looks great. Love the dogs. I will be house sitting myself in 3 weeks, to take care of 2 sausage dogs (Basil and Truffles), green frog Yoda and about 6 goldfish. Son n family off to New Zealand for two weeks. P.S. have been dropping very large hints about possum wool, fingers crossed. 🐕‍🦺🐕🐸🐟

    Digby is adorable - however I have never seen a dog so intently ignoring a person 🤣The heat hit us, too here in Cologne, but now it is beautifully crisp in the mornings. Hurra for autumn. Have a lovely quiet weekend! N.

      Hiya.
      I am used to being ignored by Digby. I am only of interest to him when I get his lead out to take him for a walk!
      Gotta love autumn - we are still having warm days but misty mornings. It's so much more civilsed.
      Thanks so much and take care xx

    Love the sweater! Sweet Heidi, always the princess. I'm sure she misses you too. Poor Digsby. Does he greet your sister with joy or give her the "where have you been" look when she returns?
    Take care 😘

    I hope you're enjoying a relaxing weekend away. Should you go away and forget your camera lead again, you could take out the camera's memory card and pop that in your laptop. I prefer using that method rather than cables. X
