Singing ringing and banana milkshake

I bought some cheap wool from Colne market. It's not the kind of thing I usually like, but for some reason it caught my eye.

I used the wool to knit Kitty a little short-sleeved cardigan. I loosely based the pattern on a free one on Ravelry for a neck down baby coat. It's perhaps a little small, but I'm reasonably pleased with it - particularly since the neck down method is so quick and seam free! It only took me two evenings watching tv. The cheap wool is perhaps a little more itchy than Kitty is used to so she wore it with a turtle neck.

It was quite windy, so we went to visit the singing ringing tree at Crown Point.

It makes a great noise as the wind blows through it's tubes. Kitty liked it, but daddy loved it - in fact he spent so much time trying to record the sound we got a little bored and even Bert was cold.

To cheer us up we went for some lunch in Ramsbottom. Kitty had a banana milkshake.
