I have a huge love for cloth nappies, ever since I started using them when my son was 2 months old, I have tried almost every nappy available. The only other things that rank really high on my love list are my family and friends(which are top of the list) and knitting. Which I spend at least 4 hours per day on. Hense being a nappy agent and setting up a knitting business, pure heaven on earth :0).Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.comBlogger49125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-63013323292358573422008-02-17T13:01:00.013+00:002008-11-13T15:53:53.610+00:00Finsihed items - week ending 16th/2/07Half term week has brought the usual manicness of having the kids home and the usual quietness in the shop. Resulting in lots of knitting time at work and hardly any at home.<br /><br />First up is my shoal water, which was finished the week before possibly, how can you tell when the days and weeks roll into one! Anyway pleased to have finished this item, it got a little tedious towards the end. I am glad I hadn't selected a thinner yarn which needed another 2 or 3 repeats of the pattern.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic_CWqPNVe4xiMcU7D1UVinlcCtaQ4Tc2lUwDhAtlFnv0DppRAz9gjTzrAbQZ5VKFD5njDdYYE6611-JxzxOWY5yih-D6aJfPxnaLARYIDznDJOp7tVq_CO4cP3G-ihanq4w17hw/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic_CWqPNVe4xiMcU7D1UVinlcCtaQ4Tc2lUwDhAtlFnv0DppRAz9gjTzrAbQZ5VKFD5njDdYYE6611-JxzxOWY5yih-D6aJfPxnaLARYIDznDJOp7tVq_CO4cP3G-ihanq4w17hw/s320/010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167934421901611618" /></a><br /><br />And another shawl, cast on many months ago, september I think as a guess I finished it leaving just the blocking and the end weaving in to do, here is is blocked anf finished at last!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmtgJ7_4XRpkNEDdLVQKLmo7GCU8vTWle0kWTxDtCt0GLErUTt_hFRhZoEEiuI3gRzmisOvWl6FgCHEi7Q7Ztyjyb9Dl83gYKBpHh5hlv0lcP5Rdi20V2ITSjR2mQOb8GbqICksA/s1600-h/019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmtgJ7_4XRpkNEDdLVQKLmo7GCU8vTWle0kWTxDtCt0GLErUTt_hFRhZoEEiuI3gRzmisOvWl6FgCHEi7Q7Ztyjyb9Dl83gYKBpHh5hlv0lcP5Rdi20V2ITSjR2mQOb8GbqICksA/s320/019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167934958772523634" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF2asFr3UU_RXZyejWPTT3SG6TtlZ1tJ3TXmXqyzkcX7VYq57G4JltCMPyiD1fCNN_zeyegWGicYdDVDV7w_SJHbuataKOKjlgZNsWegq9wyqO4TVqCifdjeZ2vj84rEChLh9_zg/s1600-h/020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF2asFr3UU_RXZyejWPTT3SG6TtlZ1tJ3TXmXqyzkcX7VYq57G4JltCMPyiD1fCNN_zeyegWGicYdDVDV7w_SJHbuataKOKjlgZNsWegq9wyqO4TVqCifdjeZ2vj84rEChLh9_zg/s320/020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167934963067490946" /></a><br /><br />My other finish offs are a pair of shorts and a soaker, these are to be part of babykinds new range.

I did say that I wouldn't cast o for something else without first finishing current project, that lasted all of a week if that. I have been better at my not buying yarn vow, and only buying it when I firstly have the time to make something, and only if I don't already have something suitable in my stash, oh and that I know what I am going to make. I have also promised myself this year that I won't sit and knit piles and piles of longies and soakers, many of those made last year are still in boxes in my house. many of these items have been reduced. So far this vow is going well and I Have made more items for myself and my family in one month than I did for the whole of last year! Anyway enough rambling and more pictures.<br /><br />My longest standing WIP going back to november last year are these socks, I keep mislaying the pattern, and when I find it I can't find the sock!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxjbx8y2yUaSjetAvGHPk0YyevbCD3xD9n0rpFOX0NNbWnUDo9XRzavnVQnZpN6CjU8vfd4LLFICvzeh4l3vSO5mxPfBziLBsfQxpRRP19x8JjNGwqLvfNpbnD5-qQjuY0JwT06w/s1600-h/2177988709_8655768176_m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxjbx8y2yUaSjetAvGHPk0YyevbCD3xD9n0rpFOX0NNbWnUDo9XRzavnVQnZpN6CjU8vfd4LLFICvzeh4l3vSO5mxPfBziLBsfQxpRRP19x8JjNGwqLvfNpbnD5-qQjuY0JwT06w/s320/2177988709_8655768176_m.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164766268725068530" /></a><br /><br />Next is my version of a soaker and skirt, the first picture shows my first trim which I frogged as it took so long, about 3 hours, and added masses to the weight of the item.

His blood tests have been okay and he is recouperating slowly, much to slowly for his liking though.<br /><br />Christmas passed without event and we enjoyied a lovely family christmas, was quite sombre if thats the right word, the one he was very nearly not here for, given very little chance in march to beating the odds and surviving when 90% off people with simular cancers don't survive. Enough of the doom ab gloom,<br /><br />Here are some pictures of my two taken christmas day<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr657jJeka0AuPD64w0NiYthq3Y8RF-_rPoPqXlCMQ4BfqU4cum-wlsC5XthvurmQmWuRj_Rbbqx0AJmvEiuhxRXvxutYDiKB4uQZG0kVQPY5YnAX9kLSN_r9L4WKBNGM34t8dBA/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr657jJeka0AuPD64w0NiYthq3Y8RF-_rPoPqXlCMQ4BfqU4cum-wlsC5XthvurmQmWuRj_Rbbqx0AJmvEiuhxRXvxutYDiKB4uQZG0kVQPY5YnAX9kLSN_r9L4WKBNGM34t8dBA/s320/012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164758267200995698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOG-W9R4KeBtfYXfxTtpGMeIM_n73q-XWIMOaisz6TM7WOBEISbLuKPf45oV1KquMIjB3iwSafvgd0Oj-CqO5J3YspiRJIczk0kbIkmhPr-AdCTRyjiihq-RykghILBaWk5XwXmQ/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOG-W9R4KeBtfYXfxTtpGMeIM_n73q-XWIMOaisz6TM7WOBEISbLuKPf45oV1KquMIjB3iwSafvgd0Oj-CqO5J3YspiRJIczk0kbIkmhPr-AdCTRyjiihq-RykghILBaWk5XwXmQ/s320/013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164758280085897602" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUVyLjgRASwVIlddlV1u6s8qy4NOnk7rJmEZwomTV6AanJB2TDyEICyyz4GsjpHtVcfX0y5T9d-nYvHM3AldXMeX0KW0QKW_MgwSuICRpx332PUh3ejCq96E3awd3kWNNdkcgPA/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUVyLjgRASwVIlddlV1u6s8qy4NOnk7rJmEZwomTV6AanJB2TDyEICyyz4GsjpHtVcfX0y5T9d-nYvHM3AldXMeX0KW0QKW_MgwSuICRpx332PUh3ejCq96E3awd3kWNNdkcgPA/s320/014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164758284380864914" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8eK3ZYnWK5eh0hK68fN4vU97YuZuwh-ieOjlOIl9_8MsNkZDbBvtqnpukUI3ZKM_Pr4oLY7asjsS7mDNaF3LtZanIkVs0lYKgd6G9VIWrYwiHc-ofW7XJHEpSnw4B-R6TkJDIQ/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8eK3ZYnWK5eh0hK68fN4vU97YuZuwh-ieOjlOIl9_8MsNkZDbBvtqnpukUI3ZKM_Pr4oLY7asjsS7mDNaF3LtZanIkVs0lYKgd6G9VIWrYwiHc-ofW7XJHEpSnw4B-R6TkJDIQ/s320/015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164758292970799522" /></a><br /><br /><br />And a couple taken in the new year after a successful shopping trip in the sales.

Not sure if I am coming or going, half the time I am convinced I am on groundhog day where the same day is happening over and over and will continue intil I get it right.<br /><br />I've also sort of lost my knitting mojo, but I think its more due to the amount of projects I have stacked up for christas gifts and outstanding orders. Due to the postal strikes I had piles of stuff that should have turned up in nice regular well planed intervals, giving me plenty of time to sort the items out before the next stuff arrived.<br /><br />2 weeks later I am still waiting on the items, then lo and behold the whole lot turns up at once. Next step is needles on fire and unpicking wrong sized items and reworking, on top of new stuff as well. I know I said I liked a challenge but that was plain ridiculous.<br /><br />Hey ho it's over with thank goodness, theres nothing like trying to sort out 3 weeks worth of work in just the one, and not knowing who to sort first as everyone had been waiting an age.<br /><br />It needless to say left very little time for anything else. I had started DH's christmas jumper withmind of doing a bit every day I didn't pick it up for a couple of weeks, I just hope I get it sorted in time.<br /><br />I did manage to finish my socksfor last months challenge, and sent them of to Daisydap for a sock swap as I found that they where to small<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYgtqxMpbDKxA4n2E4vIjy8ulVdIozUUtSFS61G78-ao8pn6Xjvg5yCECAMhud9_XvY4iD5L0kR8_DQnhWIndfy0fYIJiWtLeXPESlb4ZBYiXLdYvNpKQarflpF2-8DVCsZqP_0A/s1600-h/059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYgtqxMpbDKxA4n2E4vIjy8ulVdIozUUtSFS61G78-ao8pn6Xjvg5yCECAMhud9_XvY4iD5L0kR8_DQnhWIndfy0fYIJiWtLeXPESlb4ZBYiXLdYvNpKQarflpF2-8DVCsZqP_0A/s320/059.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135407214378148258" /></a><br /><br /><br />I have finshed both but can't find a picture of the 2 together, there is one on her blog through.<br /><br />I also finished thesefor my dad<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrze5G2u3hoRjFVgfuwq3_25PKoBOYPu5T7AUQtWq0JYwxvapSOjFXjvsG9aWa2X-VNz0LenN_LBfgCWnC3Sf4OnCCiHO0CtN6-GSzF-p47WGeDJ5ZAmy9yu1i7TFH3r5BoXIxAg/s1600-h/061.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrze5G2u3hoRjFVgfuwq3_25PKoBOYPu5T7AUQtWq0JYwxvapSOjFXjvsG9aWa2X-VNz0LenN_LBfgCWnC3Sf4OnCCiHO0CtN6-GSzF-p47WGeDJ5ZAmy9yu1i7TFH3r5BoXIxAg/s320/061.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135407648169845170" /></a><br /><br />Now to this months knitting, what little I have had time for<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLwocwxF0kXL-CSr6517mtMCMPiv0T2ZfVWIoS3T_ftAkvQv_1nFSVYhRrLml8of-30MTQ9WyELzce7_0ZfSbWur4D5aE2uDqhBUhiG7WkbfY5q1_rs2AkBaPTbaedkWdj-kBdGg/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLwocwxF0kXL-CSr6517mtMCMPiv0T2ZfVWIoS3T_ftAkvQv_1nFSVYhRrLml8of-30MTQ9WyELzce7_0ZfSbWur4D5aE2uDqhBUhiG7WkbfY5q1_rs2AkBaPTbaedkWdj-kBdGg/s320/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135408159270953410" /></a><br /><br />More socks for my dad, like the others done in DK it knits up so quick, the half done sock was the result of just 3 hours sitting with it in total. It's not a pair for the finished one either. I didn't notice that the yarn repeat was quite a long one and managed to cast on the second sock right in the middle so the stripes didn't match. Didn't like to unpick it so made it slightly smaller in the leg, and hope that I have enough yarn to make 2 pairs, if not the 3rd soak will definatly match one of the socks.<br /><br />And my final picture<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfj2sVnzis-I6zrNA_V3dqDRjfVHaa0TKaUvVbrJvV1Y1xlzTWULBfHNzWw4ibcQAh9tvXn3buuYpjowymHpTt5uTRuu7ius2Uyv6cfZ_ANBHW-Zg1v2qXa8Al4IcOyfDsHWhKQ/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNfj2sVnzis-I6zrNA_V3dqDRjfVHaa0TKaUvVbrJvV1Y1xlzTWULBfHNzWw4ibcQAh9tvXn3buuYpjowymHpTt5uTRuu7ius2Uyv6cfZ_ANBHW-Zg1v2qXa8Al4IcOyfDsHWhKQ/s320/001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135408945249968594" /></a><br /><br />It's a rowan dolly bag, well half of one. I am so pleased with it, after a few hicups getting started I soon got into the pattern. This part only took 2 evenings, and is relitivly quick to knit.<br /><br />It's the first time I have tackled such a complex pattern and reading from a chart as well. I'm not really liking the rowan cotton much finding it quite harsh on my hands. I do plan to make more bags through, this on is going to my mum for christmas, I'm hoping to get the rest of it finished on the weekend as long as I get upto date with my current shop orders.Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-26780623308454742022007-10-21T20:05:00.000+00:002007-10-21T20:09:57.658+00:00And the wanderer returnsLong time no blog again.<br /><br />Much has happened in the many weeks/months since my last post. Ihave had a new laptop (yay) So impressed everything is much faster, which is great anda fter the the inital I can get online and much screaching and hair pulling it is sorted.<br /><br />Well my stashalong, it was short lived, but I have been doing knitting and I have produced lots of items, but I am afraid to report my stash in the last few weeks has grown rather thn shrunk. Added to what I already have is 3 kilos or beautiful bright dyes yarns, 500g of fyberspates yarn, 200g of krafty koala and almost 2 kilos of SKD pure alpaca.<br /><br />Well I gave it a good sht didn't I, i must try harder to reduce stash levels, specailly given as I have sorted out all my yarn and found tons of personal stash, when I thought I only had a few bits. I have more than enough yarn to make 16 pairs of socks!Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-61462573105901872152007-09-09T21:48:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:53:58.990+00:00Holiday snaps at lastFinally some pictures from our holiday, it's only taken me a week to get round to it, and the five here are the some total as well.

Next week I am aiming to work a simular amount of items. This last two weeks I have emptied one crisp box sized carton and a carrier bag of wool. I have since emptyied another larger box between the carrier and the box freeing it up to store the kids toys in, which is what the original purpose of the box was. The kids where made up to finally have it.Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-56372592012301349292007-08-06T08:36:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:06.759+00:00August's socksDon't post for weeks then 3 in 2 days!<br /><br />Here are my august socks<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFFJvvyvZ9N19bJYhiz2dTMx99DlFw8wMnva5My4OHKeoQU05pO_naG4dNQI9uuBM3d4J_UD-B3nlJ4F3OtPT2B6zJZWlmwrKPsR79tju_aOFUd-n9uTUVdBFYUxKSfsZJLRXY5Q/s1600-h/Picture+030.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFFJvvyvZ9N19bJYhiz2dTMx99DlFw8wMnva5My4OHKeoQU05pO_naG4dNQI9uuBM3d4J_UD-B3nlJ4F3OtPT2B6zJZWlmwrKPsR79tju_aOFUd-n9uTUVdBFYUxKSfsZJLRXY5Q/s320/Picture+030.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095503982074328386" /></a><br /><br />Made using the harry potter pattern from the charmed knits book, I am quite enjoying the pattern despite the rib, this is around 3-4 days progress doing just an hour or so a day, a bit like a reward after finishing something for my shop.<br /><br />I didn't much like the heal, short row hell, it was really annoying me to start plus I loeth short rows. But in the end I quite like it, the heal knitted up so much quicker and I think it looks a lot neater than the pick up stitches version.Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-38190399313030436372007-08-05T20:48:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:07.745+00:00The start of a stashalongAnd a very good start if I don't say so myself.<br /><br />The reason for my stashalong is that I need to clear some of the yarns that I have, I really think 2 rather large under bed storage boxes, 8 plastic crates, 3 crisp box sized cardboard boxes and numerous carrier bags are just a little excessive! I also need to raise funds for new stock lines and yarns in my shop.<br /><br />So this week, I have made many items, just for a change I seem to have my knitting mojo in full swing.

It has been a huge wrench, and I knew it was coming. Cloth nappies have been a rather huge part of my life since Ben was 2 months old. <br /><br />So the nappies have been packed away, well most of them have, she will still need them for night time, I suppose it's not just the not using nappies that is sad it is the realisation that my little girl is growing up. And a bit to quickly for my liking.<br /><br />Other pivital things this week, my Son turned 5, where did that time go. It was such a short time ago he was a newborn lying for the first time in my arms.<br /><br />For his birthday we took him to Llandudno to see shrek 3 and it was great, both of them enjoyied it, though Jessica got a little restless towards the end of it. Followed by tea at pizzahut. Now thats when DS turned into a horror, he stuffed down a good chunk of the starter even though it was for just us adults. I would have thought they would have brought the kids food with the starters!<br /><br />So when his meal finally arrived he was stuffed to the brim already and just mushed it up rather than saying he didn't want it, and taking it home in a box to lunch the next day.<br /><br />In knitting news, not an awful lot, I fear I have lost my mojo a little. I think I have knitted myself out to a certain extent. Before taking on the shop I would do several custom orders and the odd instock item. Since taking over the shop I have done I have still done my custom orders but have spent so much of the rest of the time knitting stuff for stock, I have a huge bag full to add and just can't find the time to do it.<br /><br />Also my personal knitting has taken a huge back seat, I have so many things unfinished, I think I will go back to my previous set up of only working in the shop and doing personal knitting only at home which worked really well.<br /><br />Anyway enough rambling and some pictures, Have more than these to show around 8 items but will add them at a later date.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZkl50arPfzxCYeJawD90Gh-_CGZzSJ8CmWtxc5f_a-boYW0d2bZkMUz9thmOI9eUrh1RRZwoY55_2mvosgE2HMUhQKb3pzSA0MRHHbtdsmDc76ELMdUpi7CoXnYEPm3_7Im2tQ/s1600-h/new+stock+414.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZkl50arPfzxCYeJawD90Gh-_CGZzSJ8CmWtxc5f_a-boYW0d2bZkMUz9thmOI9eUrh1RRZwoY55_2mvosgE2HMUhQKb3pzSA0MRHHbtdsmDc76ELMdUpi7CoXnYEPm3_7Im2tQ/s320/new+stock+414.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085708309791280002" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTjNcl1G7Uea-IvvhKaBjl01zed_18h5OesS590_EQ7JcdVUoyF_i_qoTodfmu09xFSzx24UlgNmdAbMd8CbehNMNPWoBLXJarqkMmQ0aolghLQnesFMQhdgdjyBMDdG__osvVw/s1600-h/new+stock+404.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTjNcl1G7Uea-IvvhKaBjl01zed_18h5OesS590_EQ7JcdVUoyF_i_qoTodfmu09xFSzx24UlgNmdAbMd8CbehNMNPWoBLXJarqkMmQ0aolghLQnesFMQhdgdjyBMDdG__osvVw/s320/new+stock+404.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085708361330887570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRGgICqQTaVxManJa3TpW0a8A1kBGAfyKEpp9rjyq8uI0kSbi0_VifMor0QvHlGn4rC0lC6D2LqK0uLj1Wf8O4eeRLAb5Au7ZDf3PJ98zNYuJwpkVX9H5r-aAw6Jy8TmuHe-UrJw/s1600-h/new+stock+408.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRGgICqQTaVxManJa3TpW0a8A1kBGAfyKEpp9rjyq8uI0kSbi0_VifMor0QvHlGn4rC0lC6D2LqK0uLj1Wf8O4eeRLAb5Au7ZDf3PJ98zNYuJwpkVX9H5r-aAw6Jy8TmuHe-UrJw/s320/new+stock+408.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085708391395658658" /></a>Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-57296352337662345912007-06-23T13:31:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:10.542+00:00Since my last entry.....I have done so much knitting my needles have been smoking.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />I have also recieved a beautiful package from my secret santa will upload pictures in a later post.<br /><br />Have also built my own house<br />[URL=http://drawahouse.com/houses/show.asp?houseID=518442&houseHash=15ad61b14bbae5778b24d1f1aa01dc12]<br />[IMG]http://drawahouse.com/houses/2007/6/2/518442_t.gif[/IMG]<br />Click here to view my house[/URL]<br /><br />Thats it for now, must get back to my workCathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-64960532064750599412007-05-25T17:50:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:12.421+00:00Race for life photosLast sunday, the 20th was it of may my mum, my sister and myself took part in Rhyls race for life.<br /><br />It was a really good day, tiring, draining and a little upsetting. Doesn't make any sence does it! Being in such an intense atmosphere amoungst people who knew exactly how we where feeling, and feeling the loss many of those woman have felt and still feel really brought it home to me how down right scared I am. I think emotionally since I have taken a step back in the progress I have made, things seem a little harder than they did.<br /><br />But like my dad I am a fighter and I refuse to let things beat me for long. So at the end of the day it was great to take part and I am really glad I did.<br /><br />I do have a few pictures to share, not many really as we got their just before the start time, there would have been more but my dad the techno dinosaur couldn't work the camera, we love him for it.<br /><br />This first one shows my parents with my sister, she is 20 months younger than me, though at times I think she is older. The total opposite of me as well in many respects. We used to argue constantly growing up but now we live apart we are the best of friends. Just wished she lived closer<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkUMY8jffGlWYwER8q_HcaA6JdHmM3QJyievAXrPoAHTFW9ukSsemc1ykMsExYPwKeHdQJOTdU7EzBBe80YTAShlhR-w3GheoOAdkzlRIU2-FZLEkSQrjQuUgj4MPWGGsNKS6vIw/s1600-h/new+stock+340.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkUMY8jffGlWYwER8q_HcaA6JdHmM3QJyievAXrPoAHTFW9ukSsemc1ykMsExYPwKeHdQJOTdU7EzBBe80YTAShlhR-w3GheoOAdkzlRIU2-FZLEkSQrjQuUgj4MPWGGsNKS6vIw/s400/new+stock+340.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068559099892381410" /></a><br /><br />And me with my parents, I look rather chubby in this photo with the way my top is sitting.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1yTob11UgvYeWXEjn4b5d12mMZtdymXaA-ATHCdickXHVieTMiHGSC1M1cM4kz-43eOlyiI97pOEPHGL9nR18cY30HL69DPslAGnU_GFBVpJhDtT2GKe9YuzpaaNL_bQXN94nw/s1600-h/new+stock+341.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1yTob11UgvYeWXEjn4b5d12mMZtdymXaA-ATHCdickXHVieTMiHGSC1M1cM4kz-43eOlyiI97pOEPHGL9nR18cY30HL69DPslAGnU_GFBVpJhDtT2GKe9YuzpaaNL_bQXN94nw/s400/new+stock+341.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068559125662185202" /></a><br /><br />Wish I had better pictures to show but never mind I'm not the most photogenic person there is really.Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-18161958372685909222007-05-14T22:44:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:13.243+00:00Lots of knitting done, lots still to doI've had a busy knitting week, not only have I managed to finish a small pair of shorts, 2 small soakers and a newborn soaker(no pictures as yet as I havn't sewn the ends in !) an have just the legs to do on a large pair of shorts. I have also almost finished a sock and frogged it and make good progress on my second forest canopy shawl.<br /><br />Here first is my sock thats not, I should have tried this on much sooner than getting to this point at sorting the toe, and it doesn't fit, won't go anywhere near my foot, now I have many friends that would love to recieve a pair of hand knitted BFL sock but figure many of them would be unfamilier with the care of pure wool and these would end up being felted. So frogging it was best, anyway I was half wanting to make a patterned pair so it was as upsetting as it should have been.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJR7JsJIVHPdlzlKVpiUCcPrralwi5ZdtfSO4WeVEBe8S-uMirx9AHGKU4XQDChImxsiOGCCbVFooDJSYWFyBdYC3d28VnY6i8szHtXayyFzyznkGzLnMMqmMG0KWoG-RbHH6eQ/s1600-h/new+stock+326.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmJR7JsJIVHPdlzlKVpiUCcPrralwi5ZdtfSO4WeVEBe8S-uMirx9AHGKU4XQDChImxsiOGCCbVFooDJSYWFyBdYC3d28VnY6i8szHtXayyFzyznkGzLnMMqmMG0KWoG-RbHH6eQ/s400/new+stock+326.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064551633888748898" /></a><br /><br />And here is what I've done so far, just hope I can get the both done and a pair for DS. I will be making them as ankle socks so I should have plently left. It has been a nightmare to work with the frogged yarn. It looks rather like a perm gone wrong, but I am pleased with with the results. It is the free waving not drowing pattern on the violet green website.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPJbZ_G_-4zIzgtGaJbxSz8ePBO06nYbprE1rFjZq1masdGq_1gGnnzQWMbPudqhmfJh0NMVyQPuS7ajRRUuBVb-8hOk7zxDYEV7wxaXpnPwo7_3YZDI9W7Ry7pPf68vt95gTTQ/s1600-h/new+stock+328.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPJbZ_G_-4zIzgtGaJbxSz8ePBO06nYbprE1rFjZq1masdGq_1gGnnzQWMbPudqhmfJh0NMVyQPuS7ajRRUuBVb-8hOk7zxDYEV7wxaXpnPwo7_3YZDI9W7Ry7pPf68vt95gTTQ/s400/new+stock+328.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064552626026194290" /></a><br /><br />And my shawl - The Forest canopy shoulder shawl I am loving this pattern so much, I have almost finished one beautiful skien of fyberspates pink, blue and charcoal sock yarn that I have ordered 2 more.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3HicFVmQAzxJtpW1QxDzWd2QqA5Z0FfxEc0l3swPiLRXUEObStiZYOp9wPm8SgdCLqoATmyupig6pBxYDAaq5KUrSymm-URqs6VQ49WtDwfjsRMANh5tQSJaM4GZqJ6-BCITVA/s1600-h/new+stock+331.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju3HicFVmQAzxJtpW1QxDzWd2QqA5Z0FfxEc0l3swPiLRXUEObStiZYOp9wPm8SgdCLqoATmyupig6pBxYDAaq5KUrSymm-URqs6VQ49WtDwfjsRMANh5tQSJaM4GZqJ6-BCITVA/s400/new+stock+331.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064553759897560450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwHBEH349Qf2pFpHaZbDE9ziQttBlk4BwZOxF-jpWMEE8LljNg3wyRj9s1sjTHiBO-zrZujsvUg8qohubQZouEz29QUazHENnjduWlBd1YPm8qxqVBP3KSj9S_HuRWU1zLN2zyaQ/s1600-h/new+stock+325.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwHBEH349Qf2pFpHaZbDE9ziQttBlk4BwZOxF-jpWMEE8LljNg3wyRj9s1sjTHiBO-zrZujsvUg8qohubQZouEz29QUazHENnjduWlBd1YPm8qxqVBP3KSj9S_HuRWU1zLN2zyaQ/s400/new+stock+325.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064553768487495058" /></a><br /><br />My original plan was to use one skien to do the main pattern, then to finish of the final repeat with the next skein then complete the decorative border. My plan is now is to use 2 skiens for the main pattern and the 3rd to do the border and hopefully there will be enough for a pair of socks as well.<br /><br />I have been knitting the shawl on my denise needles I am enjoying using them. They are so light and easy to use, though I am finding the knitting doesn't pass all that easily over the joins, it doesn't snag just struggles. Have had one insident with the needle coming uncliped but think this may have been due to it not being locked in properly. I had a horid through that my hour on the shawl would have been wasted but I managed to salvage it and carry on. I think there may be a small area that might look a little different but it is hard to tell without blocking.<br /><br />I have also ordered 6 skiens of BFL from fyberspates in a beautiful red and plum colour, this will be listed up on my website as a raffle prize with the procedes going to charity.<br /><br />I have also recieved a fair amount of goodies this last week, firstly this beautiful skein of Lola sock yarn and a my little fashion house sock bag which I won on an auction listed on the forum for the Rainbow childrens trust. The yarn is gorgeous and I can't wait to use it, though I do have a lot of impending projects at the moment.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVBbm8m6FsIxZRmIEVdED7rAxwFGNdK-MlOEWVsnn1sC5HUfyTB0wEUWqAvWhq0TrB4H8SLZjTG1g_nsOxDmbnROxo4CqYNxpA644WFksywuLOlAdIy3sJtQ-e9XCWK27EnCDOAA/s1600-h/new+stock+330.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVBbm8m6FsIxZRmIEVdED7rAxwFGNdK-MlOEWVsnn1sC5HUfyTB0wEUWqAvWhq0TrB4H8SLZjTG1g_nsOxDmbnROxo4CqYNxpA644WFksywuLOlAdIy3sJtQ-e9XCWK27EnCDOAA/s400/new+stock+330.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064555679747941794" /></a><br /><br />Plus I really want to start on this<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0DbHkqPIk3HpgHpxHo-PhJT-OAKXYJ_a0JxSR9KrOMIxSpUrxIE00J-1ynTkDQKJSX4Zf46BIbbGzaKb58Cst90jXaOSTK5eiFQ46epnp3bMp2PW-R7B8ZjYQ57EM0DVXED9sbA/s1600-h/new+stock+329.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0DbHkqPIk3HpgHpxHo-PhJT-OAKXYJ_a0JxSR9KrOMIxSpUrxIE00J-1ynTkDQKJSX4Zf46BIbbGzaKb58Cst90jXaOSTK5eiFQ46epnp3bMp2PW-R7B8ZjYQ57EM0DVXED9sbA/s400/new+stock+329.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064555937445979570" /></a><br /><br />A white lies design kit, its the yarn show in the pattern on get knitted. There isn't as much yarn as I thought I would get with it though. I also thought that the wool needed would be a lot thicker as I was originally going to buy a louise harding or a sublime yarn which would have cost more and also have been to thick as the yarn is around a DK in thickness. Itching to start on it, and may do once I have finished the remains of my shawl yarn and while I wait for the next skiens to arrive.Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-92009868922804099652007-05-06T18:24:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:15.025+00:00Knitterly type stuffWith being so busy in the shop I havn't done so much knitting, I do have some things to show.<br /><br />Firstly I have finally recieved my pink denise needles, I ordered them in feb with my christmas money, a long time coming but not sure as yet if they where worth the weight. Theres no 16" option with them at all, and the smallest size looks like it might be triky to use so I don't think I will be using them on shop stuff maybe just my personal knitting and I can retire my old straights as I much prefer circ's<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlncSx9-jmSyYBX2Q1dNBiREDO5TxaSmBYtmDMH2ZAV-HUwXmZMaN35Wqm86SLHH-3EwnnBkH4uD1CsfwUlyUqJDy62Mk29IzC4u4PlhNo1cdw9qQ_u5Nwga6McFSVh61nilLoPQ/s1600-h/new+stock+292.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlncSx9-jmSyYBX2Q1dNBiREDO5TxaSmBYtmDMH2ZAV-HUwXmZMaN35Wqm86SLHH-3EwnnBkH4uD1CsfwUlyUqJDy62Mk29IzC4u4PlhNo1cdw9qQ_u5Nwga6McFSVh61nilLoPQ/s400/new+stock+292.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061516109917725906" /></a><br /><br />Also recieved this week is this months bright dyes club yarn it is beautiful but look what happened to it!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDsoJQD6SL3oo1-ffle20vX9wmeN55zaR-NrVblbV7NOQs1laeBtOj7V96vjdG0VpZB7OOi2Tu_l7Ig0_WWwekMGtkfTMLRQvwV0GTG0IrLvrgGLXQvwV56vb_e_t3vmRb9o8Mw/s1600-h/new+stock+291.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDsoJQD6SL3oo1-ffle20vX9wmeN55zaR-NrVblbV7NOQs1laeBtOj7V96vjdG0VpZB7OOi2Tu_l7Ig0_WWwekMGtkfTMLRQvwV0GTG0IrLvrgGLXQvwV56vb_e_t3vmRb9o8Mw/s400/new+stock+291.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061516603838964962" /></a><br /><br /><br />My own fault was sat winding it on my knee, then someone knocked the door so I draped it over, a few moments with the cat and this was the result. It only took me 2 hours to untaggle it.<br /><br />And this is the result of an hours knitting, this months entry into the sock a month competition. I do wish that I had tried something a bit more adventurous I did think at the time a pattern may be to much but I've seen a fellow crafty threads forum member using last months yarn with a pattern and it look wonderul. I may well frog this yet!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLJvvOGc0sK-ICdyoe9lkKlRaO-yIG2SqJHBCDhf36Dk9Xlp6HzjaYpMrdHLYKhrnyVFQq_Z96sRTHJzNxeIa6yrB9KP8GkVzHhPv79K23oUk2tqv7MxIQESr60amIE6hXoaVaww/s1600-h/new+stock+308.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLJvvOGc0sK-ICdyoe9lkKlRaO-yIG2SqJHBCDhf36Dk9Xlp6HzjaYpMrdHLYKhrnyVFQq_Z96sRTHJzNxeIa6yrB9KP8GkVzHhPv79K23oUk2tqv7MxIQESr60amIE6hXoaVaww/s400/new+stock+308.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061517153594778866" /></a><br /><br />Also knitted this, it was a wonder full quick to knit project and only a little bit fiddly. This was my keyring swap, mark 2 as the first one didn't go at all to plan so I shamelessly copied of another member. It is a fyberspates sock blocker keyring with a colinette fruit colius sock. I also sent with it a beautiful hemo and hermite necklace.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8k0x8R7zluCscEn1IcJ9UooMi_vvK_9j3Sb_Jy9J10bSVU4xfkPlr85oTHT4OoyHOe30Z7-K5edWy3QJZvhOcIXVp720WTnMx6Zx0YX-PmXlp4kU0sn0HMr1FEOM7H19Yjbgfw/s1600-h/new+stock+290.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8k0x8R7zluCscEn1IcJ9UooMi_vvK_9j3Sb_Jy9J10bSVU4xfkPlr85oTHT4OoyHOe30Z7-K5edWy3QJZvhOcIXVp720WTnMx6Zx0YX-PmXlp4kU0sn0HMr1FEOM7H19Yjbgfw/s400/new+stock+290.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061518111372485890" /></a><br /><br />ALso finally finished a flirty skirty, it was on the needles for such a long time, but I love it.

I decided in my wisdom that the shop could do with a bit of a move around. It took me half a day on friday and most of the day on saterday.<br /><br />The end result was a very happy but filthy cathie, and a half empty looking shop with the oppertunity of putting many different lines on the shelves. <br /><br />I should have done before picture before I started, but I can give you a good idea what it looked like.

So happy lots of lovely babies to cuddle and knit for, provided I can find the time!<br /><br />I have also had a new baby of my own - no not a real baby but a new website and I am chuffed to bits with it www.nkfn.co.uk so easy to use even for a numpty like me!<br /><br />My hand knitted flirty skirties have also gone live on babykind, not my pattern but one designed by a very talented WAHM in america check out her work here www.littleturtleknits.com<br /><br />In knitting news, <br /><br />I have done a fair bit, but have also frogged a fair bit as well.<br /><br />This hat is lovely, sort of old fashioned but ever so practical. Unfortuantly after these pictures where taken I ended up frogging it to sue the yarn to finish a sleeveless pullover I've been desiging, will list pictures once done.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvJVeaIishBOvMIxPm3LqWV2bluxRTBfe0gXw0XGietTN3iD8bymOGGv0yhdK-xsxphpaqlsmWGct4WvCv1TS5KdxG76K6nm_8IXBuwzeRJkgWIU4hbsOGgbrgtn8xJasiJGoBg/s1600-h/new+stock+248.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvJVeaIishBOvMIxPm3LqWV2bluxRTBfe0gXw0XGietTN3iD8bymOGGv0yhdK-xsxphpaqlsmWGct4WvCv1TS5KdxG76K6nm_8IXBuwzeRJkgWIU4hbsOGgbrgtn8xJasiJGoBg/s400/new+stock+248.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059701533479805986" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9EGzmIPCEfepXU9nWZNx2p4K9sTkkiJRRUVigv-QI1FWmjvh5t0meS-pqnIEBpuh8RCVKt1QmzUx-EUOM_l9WLOnwfdwcrjL_PaPhhLmPgOKunfzHP0797QoXIVWF3-gi3XPpNw/s1600-h/new+stock+246.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9EGzmIPCEfepXU9nWZNx2p4K9sTkkiJRRUVigv-QI1FWmjvh5t0meS-pqnIEBpuh8RCVKt1QmzUx-EUOM_l9WLOnwfdwcrjL_PaPhhLmPgOKunfzHP0797QoXIVWF3-gi3XPpNw/s400/new+stock+246.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059701533479806002" /></a><br /><br />Also finished this week was my babykind flirty skirty<br /><br /><a> href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9RnaCQPgJtIAGnXU3q4_Q6Z8BgJ5933xBsunrOS4_q_fZ7b2cRSbYvK_sb4o5f31yV-YGcVye_tI8Saiydhw8811bu_l_YpkmSK-SjMoU60mk24vYJUB2FpCF7ll0fUHGSikSg/s1600-h/new+stock+250.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9RnaCQPgJtIAGnXU3q4_Q6Z8BgJ5933xBsunrOS4_q_fZ7b2cRSbYvK_sb4o5f31yV-YGcVye_tI8Saiydhw8811bu_l_YpkmSK-SjMoU60mk24vYJUB2FpCF7ll0fUHGSikSg/s400/new+stock+250.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059702328048755778" /></a><br /><br /><a> href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQO1Q23mOCH6cR9v12EsWFrogOFL7tRO_q41_5BiQtMo1fuTPxVHYoB06bw6y6L20UKNcVGf1GqIFXsohFPqWcPjCpXB-lp5VP_tNsurphzLRPzdBlgW4VIseG_xC0_0dlwp6gAg/s1600-h/new+stock+251.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQO1Q23mOCH6cR9v12EsWFrogOFL7tRO_q41_5BiQtMo1fuTPxVHYoB06bw6y6L20UKNcVGf1GqIFXsohFPqWcPjCpXB-lp5VP_tNsurphzLRPzdBlgW4VIseG_xC0_0dlwp6gAg/s400/new+stock+251.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059702332343723090" /></a><br /><br />As well as aprils socks, made from posh yarns a beautiful shade of merino yarn, I am so pleased with these and they are a dream to wear.<br /><br /><br /><a> href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGqPvIkchKPVo6bdjJW_SWOtRDNBUNM-Dch83MMzz4JWr8JArNrqskd6Fg0Mb7kHzol1lRCffOzht30y9g4uAyCC0jLI_ovNfXBB7tcvneuADOe4kfgAJuOBh1ovBd_40uhkKkw/s1600-h/new+stock.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGqPvIkchKPVo6bdjJW_SWOtRDNBUNM-Dch83MMzz4JWr8JArNrqskd6Fg0Mb7kHzol1lRCffOzht30y9g4uAyCC0jLI_ovNfXBB7tcvneuADOe4kfgAJuOBh1ovBd_40uhkKkw/s400/new+stock.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059702731775681634" /></a><br /><br />Then there is stuff I have recieved this week,<br /><br />THis stunning set of stitch markers curtosy or Susan of crafty threads and yarns, they are beautiful and have already been put to good use.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjah2FvtCUqUXj8kAUgUo9I0UsjyFRwzPSM-RXRxZhJsDCgA3TL3hD2I7fxS2ZonnVr_FKLAxmC15NHyGDaD4ph-HMRKwG4mKS-lcgNEazkD69KGVJrYD9Fo0Wt6yjq5z4cltgAwA/s1600-h/new+stock+249.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjah2FvtCUqUXj8kAUgUo9I0UsjyFRwzPSM-RXRxZhJsDCgA3TL3hD2I7fxS2ZonnVr_FKLAxmC15NHyGDaD4ph-HMRKwG4mKS-lcgNEazkD69KGVJrYD9Fo0Wt6yjq5z4cltgAwA/s400/new+stock+249.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059703333071103090" /></a><br /><<br /><br />And my keyring swap - Making me feel a little guilty that mine isn't anywhere near started.

Thursday seen my down fall, goodbye happy face and hello tears. And boy was it hard to keep going, by saterday I thought there is no way on earth I can keep anything up.<br /><br />But here I am a few days later feeling almost on top of the world and glad that last weeks is far behind me.<br /><br />My dad is still in hospital due to some infection, they think it was in his pic line, it goes from his chest and through is arm to enable to hospital to administer medication and to take blood without having to stab him all the time. He's had a new one and has now started on his second round of chemo. All being well he should be home within the week for up to 7 days. I can't wait to see him, seems like ages ago.<br /><br />It's very hard to count my blessings but one I count daily is the help and support that my dad is getting, I will be indepted to the hospital forever, to them he is just another face on the ward, but to me he is my dad, and I would move heaven and earth to make him well.<br /><br />I still have mixed feelings about the shop, it's a challenge I will give you that but its rather like marmite at the moment, either I love it or I hate it, theres no happy medium. One thing I do like is my un interupted knitting time. I get a good 4 hours a day mostly. Since my last post I have done this - <br /><br />Firstly a flirty skirty, knitted with Chrissy's yarn and I love it, have progressed a little since the picture.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRx6tEN_2-4lN8gylaYReWt7NOprNQMsDvp-3yBt8GUj_VWCyMH19amzwM7s7yf2nFnWMfpYG0p_iV12H9kKSNJd9C_ecAeo6kk69dHKJcm_TINvdjBK4p4wntKaz2IeYybbj0_w/s1600-h/new+stock+237.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRx6tEN_2-4lN8gylaYReWt7NOprNQMsDvp-3yBt8GUj_VWCyMH19amzwM7s7yf2nFnWMfpYG0p_iV12H9kKSNJd9C_ecAeo6kk69dHKJcm_TINvdjBK4p4wntKaz2IeYybbj0_w/s400/new+stock+237.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057491716971439042" /></a><br /><br />And secondly a pair of shorts, these where frogged goodness knows how many times as I playied about with my stitch count in order to get the yarn to stripe instead of pool, I think I have achieved it. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVc9XqkxtpjD6b-GpA_ImFLlBEOLyWkhutJE_rA3Ua8ebwVG93UirILh45E3ecTAFMyxMn01jnus0rCYUH_90l7F9PALjNEVjhPx78Ehkzlj-0BXT_H2SlFb326rLV4bMoB39pA/s1600-h/new+stock+238.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUVc9XqkxtpjD6b-GpA_ImFLlBEOLyWkhutJE_rA3Ua8ebwVG93UirILh45E3ecTAFMyxMn01jnus0rCYUH_90l7F9PALjNEVjhPx78Ehkzlj-0BXT_H2SlFb326rLV4bMoB39pA/s400/new+stock+238.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057491721266406354" /></a><br /><br />Next thing to be playied about with is short rows, I hate the way they mess up my colour flow so I have and idea, what I need is the time. I also have another flirty skirty on the go. I have recived a beautiful pink Brightdyes yarn to make flirty skirties for babykind, so have abandoned all other projects to get the item made to list a photo up on the website.<br /><br />I have also recieved some rather lovely goodies.<br /><br />Firstly a beautiful skien of fybrespates sock wool, I fell in love with this colour way the moment I seen it. DUe to a mix up with the order not going through I waited for 10 days for this, and I have to say it was well worth it. The picture doens't quite do it justice though.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk8uJlDbzmLZBhT8tgQ8f4YXgLewJ3Lt0_0ApENPEAgvJhfRYfx0zHvzmrOIgTw5Jc_CB-tBy81rMrSnw0QNFmmb-IsZSrEqmPfFH8QxMt6BsPPlWEflfhNq_kMcf3rU7GRQK2xg/s1600-h/new+stock+241.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk8uJlDbzmLZBhT8tgQ8f4YXgLewJ3Lt0_0ApENPEAgvJhfRYfx0zHvzmrOIgTw5Jc_CB-tBy81rMrSnw0QNFmmb-IsZSrEqmPfFH8QxMt6BsPPlWEflfhNq_kMcf3rU7GRQK2xg/s400/new+stock+241.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057493160080450530" /></a><br /><br />I had the next 2 yarns from a fellow crafty threads and yarns member, the lighter of the two is Lana Grossa cotton maya and the darker is regia cotton surf colour.

I had intended the yarn for socks, but when I saw how beautifully they matched up there is no way the yarn could be anything other than a shawl. The pin was my birthday pressie from Chrissy and she couldnt ahve choosen better.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8CJe2yCxCDvSam9UCSf-MTc8EaUVq2No8zZpvwkVXTA8_PJ__mhRimRltWFEu5Ll0vjYNJsRCzXRfKtkmJDnayhTXK2e75b3uh_bMLGnAu_WVl4hD5iLVptxHTY_9mAlMv4xwwQ/s1600-h/new+stock+244.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8CJe2yCxCDvSam9UCSf-MTc8EaUVq2No8zZpvwkVXTA8_PJ__mhRimRltWFEu5Ll0vjYNJsRCzXRfKtkmJDnayhTXK2e75b3uh_bMLGnAu_WVl4hD5iLVptxHTY_9mAlMv4xwwQ/s400/new+stock+244.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057493172965352466" /></a><br /><br />I do have move pictures to show except my camera is out of juice, will load them up tomorrow. I have my flirty skirty for babykind, I hope to have that finished for tomorrow, I'm knitting the under soaker with 4mm boyes needles, I have posted about these before and how I disliked them. I have to say they have had a repreive. I'm finding the rigidness of the cords hard to get used to, but the way the yarn glides across the needles is lovely more than makes up for the cords not being to my liking.Cathiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13638088144378738066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31507682.post-76122502719104922482007-04-11T22:10:00.000+00:002008-11-13T15:54:18.536+00:00Woohoo - Papa is homeSo happy,<br /><br />My dad has been allowed home for a few days. I have never been more pleased and upset to see anyone in my whole life.<br /><br />He looks different, but he's still my dad, even after a month of pure hell away from home in hospital he is just the same laughing and joking.<br /><br />He was telling me this evening about his consipirathy theory surrounding the chemo, he says the nurses all suit up in various protective items, then handle the bag as though it is about to explode, so he now thinks based on his observations that all the nuclear waste that can't be got rid of, dumped in the sea burried etc is getting filtered though Cancer patients. <br /><br />The hour I had with him just flew by, almost as if he'd never been away, there was so much I wanted to say, things I had been saving up to tell him and they just didn't seem important anymore.<br /><br />I feel better now that I have seen him, but I am still scared as is the rest of the family as to what the future holds, it is going to be many months before we find out what is happening and how the cancer is responding, all we can do is hope and remain positive. <br /><br />Best get onto knitting news as I havn't posted for a while, lack of camera cable has prevented me. So here goes!<br /><br />Lots of knitting has been done this week, my soakers, shorts and longies have recently gone live on www.babykind.co.uk which is really exciting. So I am currently plodding my way through all the sizes, since they went live I have done 2x newborn - 1x small - 1xlarge - 1x ToddlerXL - 1x ToddlerXXL Not bad considering I have also had a friend staying with me and working for most of the day. Definaly a lot more confident that I can meet any demands I might get in the coming weeks.<br /><br />As well as the above I have also finished half of my april socks<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1mDwhK43jEGaEyKMLy0BfP5ozoUbyk3dZUPFveiOYwRnWRGFspo3nCiF_uSMx85SUBhDPGfkxxI8dpndwVzTlTO0l1usHteNkiik7UsqmIzpgL6znug9LQpbRRJDFaNck30K41w/s1600-h/Picture+202.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1mDwhK43jEGaEyKMLy0BfP5ozoUbyk3dZUPFveiOYwRnWRGFspo3nCiF_uSMx85SUBhDPGfkxxI8dpndwVzTlTO0l1usHteNkiik7UsqmIzpgL6znug9LQpbRRJDFaNck30K41w/s400/Picture+202.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052299083624908130" /></a><br /><br />I have also finally finished sewing the ends and seaming these two things.
