So for today in #memademay2022 it’s a post PRRT blood test day, so I’m wearing a short sleeve top to make life easier. My favourite cardigan on top (cos it’s still chilly) and some not very well-fitting culottes. I’ve lost a fair bit of weight and these were too big even before then, but elastic inserted into the waistband is a quick and dirty way to make them wearable
Top: @merchantandmills#camberset in linen.
Cardigan: Walkham by @hada131 knitted in Baskerville 1.0 by @kettleyarnco
Culottes: B6178 in some deliciously soft cotton chambray

EDITED TO ADD I posted three slides on this post. When they were uploaded all three were there. Then there were three of the same photo! Sigh. Don’t know if I have the energy to repost. Just take it from me there was another repair to my socks and a photo of me in my LB pullover.
Day 3 of #memademay2022 Wearing a pair of much-mended socks today! I made these in 2014 they are Spring Forward by Linda Welch in Whimzy Sokkuso O in the Spring Storm colour.
On ma body is the ubiquitous LB Pullover by @paper_theory made in linen from @withthiscloth. Not shown, good pattern matching at the side seams 😆

I didn’t make a pledge for #memademay this year as I wasn’t sure I could cope with a challenge. But as I wear #memade clothes almost every day I’m posting when I can, and when I get dressed!
Today’s offering is my Lovely Lassie cardigan designed by @bonnemarieburns which I knitted in 2016 using a Rowan DK yarn, confusingly called BFL but that was the name of the shade, not the wool content 😶 On my feet are Show-Off Stranded Socks designed by Anne Cambell which are made with Manos del Uruguay Allegria, bought from the much missed iKnit in London.
