Knitting and stuff....

So here's the update on my knitting...  all the holes are in the right place!!!  It's such an easy pattern I can sit in front of the tv; only  one row of "pattern" to worry about, and if you can count to 3 and 6 you've cracked it!

  

I did have 4 balls of wool, but a certain dog in my life stole one from my bag and chewed it beyond rescue - before I'd even started any knitting. Should have been a lesson learned, but no.  Jackyboy loves to dig in this particular bag so the same thing happened the very next day - sigh £8 down and only half a scarf to show for it.  A shopping trip coming up tomorrow....  The wool is 4ply 100% wool and can only be described as neopolitan icecream - ie strawberry, vanilla and chocolate!  What was I thinking?  We'll see what it looks like when I've finished.

I did the windows at Cloth of Gold this morning.  Unfortunately I didn't have my camera set up very well so only one of the two pictures is worth showing you today

What do you think?  I didn't want to make it overly fussy.... here's hoping the shop look after all my hard work.  That blue corset has been quilted, corded, hand sewn flowers and beads which took me 

H O U R S!!



Need a project away from the sewing machine.....

I stumbled across this and want to make it!

One of my favorite bloggers is without her sewing machine at the moment and has knitted this to keep herself occupied.  There's some lovely Rowan wool in our local shop so I'm just off to make a purchase - wish me luck - I haven't knitted for ages and am not very good at knitting "holes".  Take a look at the  Selfish Seamstress for her lovely creation..... and LOTS of sewing, where does that girl get the time?!
