Yarn Along

It's been so hot here in Australia at the moment. Although I feel that I have no right to complain of the heat, when many people have lost their homes to bush fires. I am just thankful that we have remained safe, and that we don't live in a high-risk area.

Anyway, on to cheerier things. I'm joining in the lovely Small Things Yarn Along again today.

Due to the heat, I've only been getting a teeny tiny bit of knitting done, at night when it finally cools off. My mitred blanket is growing nicely, and I've been re-reading my Border Collie book. Rilla is so smart - I'm running out of tricks to teach her! Hence she is going to be trained up for Obedience Trialling. I'm really excited at the prospect of being able to Trial her by the end of the year. I know she'll be able to do it, but whether or not I fold under the pressure of the Judging Ring is another matter. We'll just have to see how we go.

I've also been looking through a Chicken Coop book. There are some interesting designs for hen houses in there - some practical and others just plain cute! We're planning on giving the Silkies a new house. Their Lake House is sweet, but not the best type of accommodation - it's certainly not cyclone proof - a threat more real to us than bush fires, I'm afraid. So, we now have the pleasure of selecting a design for them. A fun process indeed!

Is it hot or cold at your home lately? I love curling up and knitting on a cold day - here we are only half way through Summer and I'm wishing for Winter again!

Please stay safe from crazy weather, where ever you may be.
