Knitting has been a bit thin on the ground this week, thanks to the arrival of Ofsted at school! We have been expecting a visit since before Christmas, so it didn't come as a surprise. I was just a little fed up that they chose to come in a week when I was not feeling especially well - I have lost my voice - but still had to teach as usual! Anyhow, it's over now, and I am just chilling out for the weekend.
The garden is looking beautiful, there are so many flowers in bloom right now. I just went outside and snapped away for a couple of minutes and came back with this little lot!
I ordered some more wool to knit one more strip on my blanket; it arrived in the week, but of course I was so busy that I didn't cast on until yesterday.
Once that's done, I shall have the tricky task of prising Miss Flo off her new blankie!! It won't come as any surprise to you to see that she has already claimed it as her own. But I shall stand firm - this one is all mine (well, mine and Mr JK's!!)
I'm not too sure if I will get a chance to blog next weekend. Mr JK and I are off up to the Lake District - while Mr JK is climbing Scafell Pike, I shall be surrounded by woolly goodness at Woolfest! Then it's straight off on a residential trip with the kids from school. So I may well see you, somewhat bleary eyed, in a fortnight. xxx

Have a cracking time at Woolfest. Can't wait to see piccies of your purchases. Your blanket is looking amazing.
The blanket is looking amazing!!! Have a fab time at Woolfest! Rosx
The flowers are beautiful, and your photos of them are great, the colours really come to life in them. I had to laugh at Flo on the blanket, it looks like she's well and truly stuck to it!
Sorry to hear about OFSTED - at least its over now which is always a good feeling. Have a lovely time at Woolfest; it sounds as if you really deserve it this year.
Absolutely gorgeous blanket Helen! You did a fabulous job!
Love Kim
Your blankie continues to inspire me, Helen. Just gorgeous. And your flowers are SO pretty. Enjoy your time away.
Love,

flo is a clever kitty to try to call "dibs" on such a lovely lovely blanet :)
