Still working on this, but so much fun to see the different patterns come to life. Looking forward to the finished product. Directions are clear and easy to follow--except when I lose my focus This is a wonderful pattern.
Just challenging enough to make it really interesting. Can't wait to finish. Just have the cuffs left. What a truly versatile garment! Love this jacket but have had a few issues with the pattern as there are so many pages to it. Am getting on with it now.
Have had to write it out in parts so that I could make it easier for myself. I personally do not like charts but now with new glasses things are a little easier. Today it is managed by English Heritage. I am a member, so got in for free. It was a wet day and I ignored the instructions of the man in the ticket office and explored outside first, while there was a break in the rain.
This photograph shows the recovered foundations of the abbey church, into the cloisters with the dormitory as the two-storey building on the left. It was very peaceful outside, I think the rumbling sky and the fairly isolated location had put off most visitors. Beside the abbey site were fields filled with sheep - a reminder that the Cisterican order didn't just pray and copy manuscripts, but were also manual labourers.
Though the spiritual importance of the site was removed by Henry VIII, it still remained a fertile valley where sheep could be reared. Although most of the inside of the abbey consisted of cavernous, empty rooms with descriptions and pictures of what they might have looked like when the abbey was operating, there were still a few gems. A medieval wall painting in one of the rooms, sealed off from visitors so that the environment could be controlled to preserve the painting, and a carved ceiling in the refectory.
In the long dormitory, several of the window sills were covered with medieval tiles and outside, beneath a marquee, there was a whole uncovered floor of heraldic tiles. Cleeve Abbey isn't a grand palace that demands your attention.
Instead, it is a quiet, peaceful place, with cracked tiles and vast empty rooms. Stripped of its wealth, it has still retained its dignity. Elsie J Oxenham, author of the 'Abbey' series was inspired by the site and so was I. Labels: medieval , Photos. Gerald of Wales was always a little late for my studies, but I did use him in essays as an example of intermarriage between Welsh and Norman nobility, and the way that Gerald felt that his mixed parentage halted his rise to power within the church.
This programme goes much further beyond my blinkered view of Gerald, with well-informed experts expounding about Gerald's background, travels, writings and struggles to climb the church hierarchy. Never Not Knitting - Alana Dakos' gentle knitting podcast is back after a six month break. Alana's podcast was the first knitting podcast that I listened to, and it really opened up a new world to me - that there were smart, intelligent, funny people mainly women but not all talking about knitting in engaging ways.
For a craft that is so visual and tactile, I was surprised to find that podcasts work so well. Alana gives an insight into the life of a knitting designer and mother, and her blog is full of her stunningly photographed knitted designs. It does what it says on the tin. And more. Running for over ten years, the pair have developed their own quirks that are well-appreciated by fans - Kermodian rants, 'hello to Jason Isaacs' and elaborate descriptions of listeners accomplishments accompany their comments on films.
Reading: The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie - a nuanced view of a single battle in a fairly realistic fantasy world. The book focuses on six characters over three days as they prepare to fight over an unimportant circle of stones on the border between two polities.
I haven't read Abercrombie's other novels so it might be that more about the setting is explained in his First Law trilogy. Reading it as a stand-alone, I was caught up in his gritty depiction of a medievalish battle cavalry, infantry as well as the first test of the cannon.
Abercrombie uses his title well - the Heroes is the name of the stone circle that the armies are fighting over, but he also intelligently questions who and what is a hero. The Number Mysteries by Marcus du Sautoy - Having studied humanities at university, I am trying to rectify the situation slightly by reading popular science books.
Marcus du Sautoy is the Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and a mathematician at the University of Oxford obligatory boo, hiss , so is perfectly placed to try and help me. The Number Mysteries looks at five big questions in mathematics in a user-friendly way, showing how mathematics can also help solve other problems. He looks at how our understanding of various problems has developed as well, which provides a narrative to a subject which is dependent on data rather than story.
Although du Sautoy occasionally jumps a little further than I am able to follow, it is a very user-friendly book and helped me to remember how much fun maths can be. Watching: The Great British Bake-Off - I must admit that I, along with millions of others in the UK, am glued to this reality show where bakers compete to show that they can make perfect pies, pastry and puddings.
This show not only has a competitive element as bakers are eliminated each week, but is also didactic - I've learnt that strudel pastry has to be rolled until it is almost see-through, setting agents are integral to making a proper'American-style' pie and it's ok if your chocolate pudding falls on your shoe, so long as it tastes good.
Mel and Sue are amusing, Paul and Mary are authoritative and the bakers are inspiring. Vikings - I have had a love-hate relationship with this documentary series.
On one hand, it's exciting to see a documentary about my period and to see places I've only read about in books Birka, Staraja Ladoga, Repton on screen. On the other hand, I know too much about the period to be satisfied with the title or some of the explanations.
I also felt that the first programme took too long a view on the prehistory of Scandinavia - I'd have preferred a little more thought about how much affect the Bronze Age Scandinavians had upon the medieval Scandinavians. Examples from years before the Vikings were used to try and explain their activities. I would have liked to have seen more on the Roman and early medieval period Scandinavians - bog deposits, gullgubber and the Vendel ship burials could have filled half an hour easily.
And, trying to avoid making this a long rant, a better survey of the Old Norse religion not jumping straight to the late medieval Icelandic manuscripts and a more nuanced assessment of the Alfred jewel it says 'Alfred had me made', it doesn't say 'King Alfred had me made', there's a difference would have been appreciated.
Still, watch it - the Vikings are much more than pillagers and raiders, and I think that this show managed to get that point across well. Making : Chocolate Brownies - I've made quite a few batches of chocolate brownies over the last few weeks.
I was asked to do the catering for a getaway for a few college Christian Unions, and decided that I would make chocolate brownies for dessert one evening. Having made this recipe, my Mum then asked me to make some brownies for a friend of hers so I made the Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies recipes. Finally, I was asked to dinner at the home of my Bible study group leaders so I wanted to bring something that they and their kids would enjoy.
I only had one egg, however, so I looked through my various cookbooks for the recipe with the smallest egg requirement. That was in DK Chocolate book. These ones ended up quite thin and crunchy because my tin was a little too big, but the others were both delicious. Snapdragon Tam - I love Ysolda Teague's whimsical designs and decided to embark on this tam as a present for my friend.
The instructions were clear and well-laid out and the stitching varied between requiring little and intense concentration. Unfortunately, I was not successful. I apologize for that! Oh how I wish I had a little girl! My little boy is interested in knitting, but he's only into reading about Ninja's right now, lol.
Maybe by Christmas I'm so excited to get this for my daughter 6. Annie looks quite lovable and I bet girls of all ages will get a kick out of the story. Congratulations on your book!! Ravelry: jilliau. Your daughter's narration of the story is so sweet.
Very Nice story and idea! I like the illustrations Neesha created too. Post a Comment.
