There's a hole in my bucket ...
Brace yourselves guys, hold tight ... we ... have ...a ... FINISHED OBJECT ! YAY ! In fact, not only finished but started, knitted and finished. How smug am I ??
In lieu of getting on with my first knitalong commitment to Lis on Elfin and a bit bored with my second one on Audrey, I decided it was about time to get going on my spring/summer bucket knitalong with Becky.
So here she is - Rowan in her holey bucket ! 
Knitted in crisp white stash Handknit DK Cotton, you will note the tasteful band of lace hearts around the bucket - yeah, I don't know what possessed me either ??? Lace and I have a "difficult" relationship (if we were married we'd be throwing the good china at each other !) but it seemed right. And it's mainly worked out okay apart from the bare patch at the back where I didn't quite get the placing right - but YOU can't see that as I'm in charge of the camera !
Anyway Rowan loves it and wore it all morning in the house ..... then took it off the moment she stepped out into the sunshine.
The sunshine this weekend has been glorious - not to mention unexpected. But we took advantage and headed off to spend a couple of days on the Cowal Peninsula.
We stayed here last night, which was absolutely lovely and then pottered round Loch Eck "The Jewel of the Cowal" for a while - before heading off to Lochgoilhead at the head of Loch Fyne.
Two of the most beautiful lochs for my money and only an hour or so's drive from Glasgow. But we felt like we were in a different world.

My Lis knit-along is stalled big time, but let's not worry about it, we have 14 years more to go.
