    Lovely colours!

  2. I just found your blog – timely with the mention of Paul McCartney – – my first concert 45 years ago today – the Beatles’ in Seattle, Washington!!
    I love my nips too!!!!

  3. There is a saying over here “One fell off the turnip truck”.

  4. P.S. Is there going to be a football hat called Bawheid too?

    1. bawheid! genius.

  5. So… I’m guessing this is Neepheid?! Make sure it comes in man-size too! Thanks for your support over on my blog.

  6. Love it. Inspired as always with your creativity and humour xx

  7. Turnip head. How lovely.

  8. Good heavens, is that a…could it be…a turnip and carrot tam? Your allotment MUST be inspiring!

  9. A neep tam? Truly inspired!

  10. Love the lovely neeps. Can’t wait to see what’s growing above ground.

  11. A turnip tam, possibly? Even though I am not a hat/beret/tam/noggin’ lid person (hats in general don’t like me and consequently try their best to make me look my worst), I might try this one…

  12. Your turnips (?) look beautiful. I find them inspiring too. You sure get up to a lot – beer making, jam making, knitting.

  13. vegetable inspired patterns would be fantastic :D

  14. such beautiful colors! time to try fairisle, even though it looks so scary.

  15. Good heavens, that is adorable!

  16. Ah turnips, can’t stand them, give me a leek any day. They look good knitted though. Who’d have thought it?

  17. I’m gonna chow down my vegetables. I love you most of all. My favourite vege-tables!

  18. I heart the neeps. Looking lovely – fruit and veggies in patterns is why I have a secret love for The Fassett.

  19. Looking forward to seeing it all done. :)

  20. Makes me long for cooler weather and a few of those roasted!

  21. Even that littlest of glimpses is so charming!

  22. Looks wonderful – can’t wait to see the full neepish glory !

  23. Is this some sort of veiled reference to Smiley Smile, by any chance? If it is, well then you are truly my long lost soul sister…
