This evening I tried a new (to me) knitting stitch called Brioche Honeycomb. It is not too complicated, basically purl one row, the next row is K1 (K1 K1B) to last two stitches.

The destructions say that K1B is "knit into the stitch two rows below". But that make the wrong side (looks like stocking stitch) all wobbley wibbley and different sizes. The wrong side needs to be reasonably neat because the lapel of the jacket has the wrong side showing where it turns over. Should I be knitting into the stitch below the next stitch on the left needle, which is two rows below the row I am knitting?

Yes, no, probably, definitely.

That is exactly what I thought.

Videos on youtube show brioche stitch with all sort of yarn over, and slip stitches.

I did a lot of popcorn stitch this evening.

I did a lot of popcorn stitch this evening.

Is that purl 1 pop 1, knit two, pop 1, purl 1?

Which runs out first? The popcorn or the wool?

I spent a couple of hours trimming back brambles and trees behind the house yesterday, and I've only gone and done my left foot in again. It seems the tendons & nerves on the top of the foot that leads to my big toe do not like any pressure on them. The top of my foot and big toe is in agony. I'm really going to have to be careful what I wear as the last time it took weeks to improve.

Is it possibly that you need arch support?

Luckily, Brexit will make all this clear.. Within 2 years, you will have clarity..

Jack's hurt his leg again. Mr R wasn't watching properly when he took him out for a walk earlier. It's the leg he had major surgery on. I'm going to see how he does overnight and prays it's not another trip to the vet...

Hope Jack is well on the mend.
Maximilian and Heidi send their regards.

I cut some more brushy trees in my yard today, and trained my raspberry canes into a small topiary. I also dressed my grape vines.

Sorry to see that Jack is pawly. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Just finished updating the Ely CP website. Now I'm going to settle down with a piece of chocolate cheesecake and watch some catch-up tv.

Today I took a photograph of my Hellebores. They look lovely in flower, but some clumps may need dividing and or moving. With photographic evidence, I will know which colour was where. The yellow ones are my favourite.

I love Hellebores

In other news it's rather windy outside but it's not quite Kansas yet.

I forgot to make my coffee for the train and I didn't realise until I got on. Too late to buy one.

Me too, I've now got quite a few....

Doris is here and sounding as though she wants to come inside.... !!! Rain being hurled at the window....

There is a bit of hope in that it looks to be a narrow band of heavy rain so fingers crossed it's gone before I have to commute in it!
