St David's Day Knitting Parade

St David's Day is probably the best day of the year for me, I'm pretty sure it never rains and there is a good spread of daffodils on the roadside. I was going to try and get some daffodil photos, but it's rather nippy out, and I'm feeling lovely and lazy after lunch, so I'll show you some other things I've been up to...

I went to a boot-sale on Sunday, the first for me this year. It rained, it was gusty, it was dismal! Despite some lovely 1930's pieces at good prices, I only made one purchase, a pair of new (but not new) faux fur gloves made by Bryans Gloves, in my size, for £2.00 - Perfect, but why couldn't I have found these back in September?


Bryans Gloves, now mine!
 I'm on the move again, though I'm just going downstairs this time! Perfect excuse to sort through my wardrobe, well, I say wardrobe, that's full and everything else is in suitcases/boxes/on the back of chairs! This is all I managed to get into my teeny weeny wardrobe!

I've also been knitting, but at the expense of reading my new Vintage Life magazine and sewing! This is the jumper mentioned in my last post, I just mis-counted the stitches and lost my place in the pattern..Doh!
This is a 1934 Chevron patterned Jumper in daffodil (or lemon, if you prefer) and will have a chocolate brown neck tie. I'm sure I'll be mistaken for a Brownie!


I also have every intention of having me hair cut this week, it's now below my shoulders and I'm bored. I fancy a bob for the Summer, thoughts?

So I'll now leave you to enjoy the rest of your day, I hope the sun's shining for you
