Knitting Lace with Beads

Louise and I made a bookmark each using lace designs we made up as we went along and beads. The beads are hard to see in mine, it's the green one but they are there. Louise's are also hard to see as the pins for blocking had bobbles on that look like beads. These didn't take long and we had fun working out what lace stitches to use and where.

This photo shows St Abb's head. The hubs and I walked from St Abb's harbour along the coastal path to the lighthouse and then back along the Loch. It was cold and bracing but absolutely lovely. We walked for a couple of hours, met a very few walkers while we were out and then met up with Louise in her shop before we made our way back to Berwick Upon Tweed on the bus. I love this part of the world and can't wait to come back here. These few days I have spend here have relaxed and revitalised me. Back to work on Monday!

Knitting Retreat at St Abb's.


This is lovely, beautiful scenery, lots of knitting and learning new things. I'm only here until Thursday, wish it was longer. I've just got back from a lovely walk, very windy but gorgeous. Louise is the perfect hostess and her wool shop is fab. Today I have made a scarf using only my hands and yarn, no needles. I have learnt a couple of different cast ons and how to do double knitting, off to the pub for dinner tonight.
