When the First World War began Sunderland Museum and Art Gallery had been established for 68 years. The Director in 1914 was the formidable J. A. Charlton Deas who is remembered principally for his pioneering work, started in 1913, with the blind, giving them hands on access to the collection so that they could see with their fingers.
Deas was also a pioneer in touring exhibitions and in contemporary recording. In November 1914 he was requested to also take on the role of Supervising Librarian at West Hartlepool, after the librarian there had joined up. One month later West Hartlepool was bombarded by the German Imperial Navy. Although he tried collecting objects from the bombardment ‘there was great demand for them’ and he could not secure any but he was successful in acquiring nearly 100 photographs showing the aftermath, which he used in an exhibition shown in both West Hartlepool and Sunderland.
In July 1919 Deas was responsible for organising Sunderland’s impressive Peace Parade. It included elaborate floats representing the countries of our allies as well as contingents of the armed forces and civilian organisations that took part.

This is the first pair of socks I ever made. It was with Scheepjes Invicta Extra on 2.75mm needles. I used the Socks a la Carte pattern book as a guide, then altered the pattern to fit Jabin. Each sock took me a week of fairly consistent work to make! I used a Dutch heel. I am fairly happy with it, but there ended up being quite a little hole on one side of the gusset, which seemed to be caused by the slip-stitch pattern of the heel. I am going to have to figure out how to fix that.
He loves 'em, though! I hope they last!
Came across this ewe on a property in Portugal. She was resting with her lambs and I liked the way her head was leaning against the rock and the soft but intelligent look in her eyes. She was quite happy for me to snap away. I think she was intrigued.
Each stitch is a bit of twisted wool. A new pair of hand knit fingerless gloves - a gift I love and use on these freezing days. #cy365 37/375 #twistedwool
