I cycled down to the Park and found a bench in the Sensory Garden that was free.

Parked up and actually FINISHED these socks. (Will take a finished pic later).

I knit slowly when it comes to fair isle, but I love the way it looks. Re-watching Peaky Blinders before I start the new season and working on a pillow cover.

Staying with friends at the lake - too cold for outside, but perfect for knitting

Happy birthday, my favourite Frenchman

[julietwiththeyarn]

Marquis de Lafayette (age 6, far right), his aunt Charlotte, and a portrait of her daughter/his cousin, Marie, who he thought of as a sister. This information is according to Harlow Giles Unger in his book, Lafayette. 

In all of Lafayette’s childhood portraits, Gilbert is smiling, on the verge of a smile, or has a bright, attentive countenance. I love them all. Look at his little face! I’m sorry. I’m sentimentalizing. BUT LOOK AT HIS FACE.

Everyone give it up for America’s favourite fighting frenchman.

Hamilton, with his penetrating mind and gift for argument, and Laurens, with his fierce beliefs and crusading zeal, made great impressions on Lafayette. They talked about things that had never before crossed his mind- what was justice, what was the basis of government, what was right and wrong. Laurens especially broadened the Frenchman’s thinking - and he could do it in flawless French - on two subjects. One was religious intolerance. The other was slavery.

I don’t want TURN to end this week. It just hit me that I won’t have Saturday nights to watch my favorite grown-up Liberty’s Kids anymore and that hurts.

I know I have talked a lot of shit about the show. I’ve hated characters and plots and been angry at the writers multiple times, but I have also loved them, screamed/cried/laughed at my TV because of my intense love for the show. It’s been an enormous part of my life for three years (I jumped on the bandwagon late), but I’ve always loved this period in history. For some reason, TURN affected me unlike any other show. I can’t describe it, but I have never felt so deeply passionate about a TV series before. Some of you may say that’s dumb, but I (and many others) have invested so much into this show, and it hurts so much for me to watch it end.

The fandom has also been the most close-knit community I have ever seen on this website. I’ve met many friends here and been so privileged to read your fanfiction and enjoy your art. There’s definitely been a lot of fandom drama–no one can deny that–but ultimately I made some of my best friends through this TV show, and I don’t know what I’d do without you all.

So thank you to TURN, for bringing together a bunch of history loving folks and giving us a wonderful period drama.
