April is over and done! I wanted to share April knitting, plus a few of my favourite things from this month.
You will recognise the kitty socks from this post. They’re still not done – but I’ve turned the heel of the second sock!
Also featured was a chunky lace beret I want to share the pattern for soon. I have grand plans for that, believe me! And the macrame – I am so into macrame right now, I can’t even tell you. I guess it’s because of the changing of the seasons. I love seeing the green everywhere – including in our little apartment!
The gifts – a cushion cover and some wee sandals – I haven’t blogged about yet, but I plan to soon. I also haven’t blogged about the trips we’ve taken. We spent Easter in Prague. Everyone’s told me how lovely Prague is, so I was delighted to see it. We had a MASSIVE list of to-dos from no less than three native Praguers and tried our best to work our way through it.
Spotted this delightful yarnbombing decorating a preschool! 💕

We also took a day trip to Annacy, which I’ve heard called the Venice of France.
Beautiful day in a beautiful city ☀️

Don’t imagine for a minute I don’t know how lucky I am to be able to pop over to France for the day. I’m loving living in Geneva!
I didn’t buy much yarn this month, just the one skein as a souvenir of Annecy.
New stash! Now what should I make with this beauty? 😍💚💙💜

One thing I forgot to include in the round up of April knitting was the sweet little jumper I finished for my niece. It’s still folded up in a corner – we’re going to visit my sister and her family next month, so it hardly seems worth posting!

PS – I borrowed the title of this post from this poem. I like the final verse:
Though trees turn bare and girls turn wives,
We shall afford our costly seasons;
There is a gentleness survives
That will outspeak and has its reasons.
There is a loveliness exists,
Preserves us, not for specialists.

In the last six months, I’ve sewed a whole bunch of face masks. Most face masks fit well, but none were perfect. We picked up a couple of ready-made reusable face masks to try out, and J decided he preferred them. The pattern is easy as anything to make – easier than any other pattern […]
A cake recipe so delicious, no one will ever suspect its vegan.
Like a lot of us, I’m making face masks. Here’s the free pattern I used (and how they look on).
