Since my last entry.....

I have done so much knitting my needles have been smoking. Here is my list of completed items.

2x XL shorts toock around 5 hours each
2x XL longies took around 7 hours each
1X XL flirty skirty took around 10 hours to complete
2x Small shorts taking around 3 hours each
1x two size soaker only the leg cuffs to go - taken around 5 hours so far
1x SL smocked frock and a 1 years old size on the needles at the moment.
1x Med/large flirty skirty

Some pictures below of Jessica modling some of the items, have also finally finished my may socks and started on this months pair which will probably be finished this time next month!





Heres the smocked frock and the 2 size soaker




And here is the final flirty skirty, I am so made up with this item. The wool was BFL DK and it knitted up a dream. It was almost upsetting to finish the piece. This item was made as the prize in my charity raffle which raised £23 towards christies hospital.




My May socks - Made with Brightdyes club yarn for may using the free pattern on violot green website.



And last but not least my Junes socks made with bright dyes club yarn for this month. I am using Audreys grapy socks pattern and am loving every spare second I have to work on it. Not only is the yarn wonderful to work with the pattern and the yarn compliment each other wonderfully.





Thats it for now, hopefully it won't be to long before my next visit to blog land

Santa has been

On friday I recieved a sweet smelling package from my wonderful summer secret santa. I have no idea who she is but here are my goodes.

A beautifully wraped pressie, and a funny card, my clue is the photo santa says this place she thinks is beautiful and peace full. The card says - Sally had no problem with her moodswings, it was those stupid, insensitive b*****d men that couldn't cope.



And inside

Twisted sock yarn in a beuatiful combination of colours



Lush goodies in blossom scent, The bath bomb was lovely and left my downstairs sweet smelling for hours




Saving the best till last

2 Balls of rowan kidsilk haze ina beautiful colour and a pattern for the kiri shawl, I think this will be my next project once I have my orders and WIP out of the way

Just to proove that I can finish things

Have had a nice productive evening and have finished of loads of items, why I left it so long I will never know. I would say about now that I vow never to let things accumalate again, but I know that vow having made it before is to easily broken.

Anyway here are some of tonights selection, there are other but my camera ran out of juice so more tomorrow.

Been a bad blogger

Have had plenty to say but no time in which to say it. Have had a few orders, been busy in the shop and recived rather a large order from babykind so all other knitterly projects have been put on hold.

I did finish my forest canopy shawl, but am yet to block it, I didn't finish the baby cardigan I finished or my may socks. But I have done 2 items from my babykind order, and an XL shorties for the CNA competition winner. So now I am sat loading up images to my photo box, well videos as my camera and my computer are playing up and I would be gutted to loose them. Will put up a link when I've finished, I am also taking a break from knitting to sew up a pile of finished stuff. Admitidly these are items that should have been finished last year, left forgotten about for the sake of sewing in a few ends.

I have also recieved a beautiful package from my secret santa will upload pictures in a later post.

Have also built my own house
