eam31: 10 stitches to cast off, I need to join another ball. Dammit. #knittersOfInstagram #amKnitting
eam31: It's of no great architectural merit, I know, but the light and perspective caught my eye.
eam31: When the lilies in the flowers @clarkie28 bought for me started to flower I had to move them out to the conservatory. Turns out I'm sensitive to their perfume. But on the plus side, the temperature out there seems to have helped them last!
eam31: It's exactly the right kind of weather to break into some of my birthday tea haul. @mariagefreresofficial 'Yunnan Imperial' in a one person pot from @brewteaco.
eam31: Unexpected.
eam31: These have been lovely, but I don't think they'll survive the coming week. They've had a good run. I haven't even needed my lovely big waterbutts this year!
eam31: A day trip to London. Covent Garden, Mariage Frères (a beautiful tea shop), Regent Street, a side street somewhere off Regent Street and Liberty's.
eam31: First mince pies of the season... Apparently breaking some rule about waiting for December, but I could have bought some in October so I think this is called compromise!
eam31: Fab night listening to @christinaaldenalexpatterson - 10/10 would recommend. A lovely birthday treat!
eam31: Birthday flowers from @clarkie28 😍
eam31: Prompt 31: Landmark. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberLandmark And done.
eam31: A slightly loose interpretation of a navigator, I guess. A thing to navigate by? Anyway. This was from a stock photo, and I think the sign is long gone. The type is still pretty familiar, anyway. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberNavigator
eam31: Junction 27 of the M25, where the M11 joins. London is SSW of here, to the right of the picture. I think it looks a bit like a Celtic knot. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberRoad
eam31: A scarecrow in the fens. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberScarecrow
eam31: You just know that thing's covered in rust. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberRust To get geeky, I tried for a rod brake system and the double top tube is an old strengthening feature of bikes used in the war (and for delivery bikes generally). The detail
eam31: Regina (Reggie) the woolly rhino helps me work: I explain my code to her, she lets me know where I've gone wrong. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberRhino
eam31: Another day late. ‍♀️ Blaming my flu jab for this one! #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberRidge
eam31: The pen I drew this with is not the pen I drew! #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberJournal
eam31: I promise there's a book in there... #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberGuidebook I should maybe have used a ruler on this one.
eam31: I wonder why this view of the horizon sprung to mind? #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberHorizon
eam31: In case drawing my British passport wasn't enough, I've drawn tea and biscuits for this prompt. Pretty sure they're French biscuits though. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberSnacks
eam31: The clouds were an experiment, using my water brush with my soluble ink. I should learn how to hatch clouds properly at some point, but not today. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberSun
eam31: A day late, but it got me here. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberPassport This is not an accurate rendition of the front of a British passport, but you get the idea.
eam31: Not a bad view.
eam31: I'm not really sure how my brain went from "binoculars" to whatever's happening here! #inktober #inktober2024 #inktoberBinoculars
eam31: Boots. #inktober #inktober2024 #inktober2024boots I'm not totally happy with how this turned out, but it's what I've got. ‍♀️
eam31: Here we go: 1. Backpack #inktober #inktober2024 #inktober2024backpack
eam31: This kind of weather demands a nice, chunky piece of knitting. And I'm enjoying the construction on this one so far. #knittersOfInstagram #amKnitting #misheelpullover
eam31: Had a fab afternoon at a sketching workshop with @lineandwash and @urban_sketchers_oxford - I think I need more practice (always 😆) but I can definitely see it being a method I play with some more. The colours aren't my normal fare, I don't know
eam31: Our downstairs loo. @clarkie28 did a deal: she could buy the picture if I got to paint on the wall! The room's too small to get a proper view though.
