Beautiful Bump

Before I went on holiday I was knitting like mad trying to finish a little baby cardie that i was doing for Julie one of my fellow knit whits .

The weds nite before ,Julie walked in looking very tired with her wonderful bump and I didn't realize that she had only a couple of weeks left (her bump looks so tidy and not dropped i thougth she had longer ).

well that night I got home and got cracking on this little cardi for her bump.

I wanted to do the best i could because being a very gifted Lady herself I could hardly offer her shoddy work now can I.

All the other knit whits had been secretly knitting 4 inch square in various patterns to form a baby blanket, to give to Julie.

I proceed to make several of these squares but was too embraced to hand mine in there s were just sooooooooo fancy so i thought id have a go at this cardie instead .

I was pleased how it turned out .I decided t6o knit the smallest size so the baby can wear it straight away before you know they have grow so quickly and sometimes its nice to see something fitting and not to have to roll the sleeves up ten times .

I wish her all the luck and happiness in the world ..........and cant wait to see the new arrival .

Relaxed time to Knit

Well after having a wounder full week away in our caravan the sun has been splitting and i have been knitting like mad to the sound of birds tweeting and the kids (screaming) nearly idyllic i suppose ha

But i have come on in leaps and bounds with my cotton cardie and Ive only the sleeves left to do .

i have defiantly feel in love with cotton its so nice to knit with and feels so soft against your skin i think I'm hooked

although i do need to get some projects finished before i cast on ANY THING ELSE!!!

Cotton Crazy

After getting over the delight of my bargain knitting basket i went down to the wool stall .
I fancy knitting a Cotton cardie for thr summer (well that's if we get one ha ).
Ive never knitted in cotton before so here my first attempt.
I'm using Sirdar cotton calico a 50/50 mix as it my first time the lady recommended it just doing a short sleeve summer cardie cant wait to cast on.......yet another project ..i blame those knit wits .................you know who you are its all your fault you've got me hooked !!!!

Bargin Basket

Today was my day off and as i was doing my usual walk round Ball hill market and a bacon batch at the rose bud cafe(its a tradition I've got myself into )Popped into the charity shop theve got 4 in ball hill i love having a good old rummage i asked the lady behind the desk if she had any old knitting patterns and to my delight she had loads .......ooh i got all excited especially wen she said they were only 20p each.
As i handed over the money with big smile she said to me did you not spot the knitting basket over there in the corner no i looked over and to my eager delight there was the largest framed knitting basket and it was only £3.00 Bargain i snapped her hand off.
My hubby bought me one for Christmas last year and its only half the size yet it cost him over £25.00 from hobby craft.
Well if you could see my face Looked like the cat who got the cream ( the whole bloody dairy farm. ........lol)
Dont you just love charity shops ...........I'm addicted

tissue tissue .........looking posh

Well finished my tissue box cover for my sister and her new decorated front room and if i say so myself it looks fab sitting there on her table even she had to say how lovely it looked and that was hard for her as she is not a knitting fan like us ...............(i know its shame she is still om the dark side ) lol

After sewing on over 180 small beads my thumb and finger dropped off.but the overall result looks great i decided to line it as well because of the lace pattern the writing on the box showed through the holes and all you could see was asda tissues and that was not a good look .......lol

Since finishing i have had quite a few request so might set up a cosy shop ..um maybe not!

Not much ....!

Well not much to report I'm afraid the time is going bye so quickly May is here all ready and nothing to look forward to .
I have started some more small projects off they seamed to get finished quicker as my hearts not in it at the mo...don't know why ?
I need a holiday i think roll on the summer
