finish what i started

Well i have had a run on projects for a while now and I'm really going to try hard to finish off some project and make room for new ones .

Before you know it will be Christmas and this year i wanted to get round to actually knitting up the mother and farther Christmas pattern Ive has since the kids were little .....

tryed to concentrate on all my short sleeve and summer project because else i wont have time to wear them before cold weather hits again as its only 2o weeks till Christmas (one of my OAPs informed me today .arrrrrrrrr)
where has this year flew...sound like an OAP  now ...........lol
so here's an update on a few bit near completion .dare i say it

Black tweed cardie

Have finished the two founts and back just got the cap sleeves and bands to do ...really pleased with this .......

the wool is so soft will feel lovely next to your skin

purple shrug



half way through my shrug and its looking nice
 just deciding tho whether to pick up stitches and knit a boarder round the inside of it to make it more of a bollareo style cardie .....
will have to see how much yarn i have got left first ......um mm

i have compleated two founts and the sleaves on my green sparkly

just the back to do now..........its looking nice  very pleased with it

Ebay Bargins

Well i have bought a bit of yarn off EBay.....and i hate to admit it ....I'M HOOKED....
i resited and just bought the three lots ............it arrived .i was so excited just like a little kiddy............the blue cotton i have put up
the RED BRUSHED FLUFFY STUFF ........ooh so Delicious.I'm saving it got to find the right pattern for that as Ive got about 800grm and that's enough to do big jacket and a matching top for me.............

So i started on the sirdar ocean  shell pink............nearly finished the two fronts already....

what do you think .isn't it GORGEOUS..............I'm in heaven!



the pattern I'm using is a bit boring so as usual i have adapted it just for me ..ha

Loopy tissue take 3

Well I've finished the tissue box for Holly's bedroom and i must say i rather like this one my self goes nicely with her room

(NOW ITS TIDY!!!!)

The sparkly yarn is lovely very girly...................

really easy to make ...........but look lovey don't you think!!

Charlotte's bedroom is black and white so will have to think up
nice design for her............modan,,,with big lilies perhaps?



Watch this space ...aah....tissue..

no will power

Well i did try and i lasted about  a week .....................and then my yarn arrived from EBay and i just had to cast on straight away..........sorry
I was looking at the sirdar ocean pattern and i didn't like any of them so as this yarn is a chunky needle size 10 i have found a nice pattern for a bolero type cardie and as usual put my stamp on it changing a few things along the way ..............
so far so good its coming along nice .
but i will get my black tweed cardie finished soon just sleeves to go so not all is bad

Not much .........

HI there fellow knitters ...

well i have been very busy these last few weeks and not had much time to say hello
I AM trying very hard too try and finish off some of the projects that i have started and put down to cast on yet more projects .....after having a mad tidy up i counted at least 10 things half finished so I've made a promise to myself that i can not cast on ANY more till I've finished these one ...............i know that its gonna kill me but i will just have to resist............

Fat club & Knitting

Tuesday night i was sitting on the computer trying to sort out my blog post on ravelry ...and as you can see getting very fed up .............but now that's all sorted big pat on the back to me ....any way side tracking . whilst i was on ravelry looking at how to actually post something on a groups page i came across a weight watchers group ...............HOW FAB IS THAT .........fat folk like me trying to slim and love knitting. well i was so chuffed in finding it i just had to share this with you all............the two things important to me (well apart from mart & the girls ........of course) is slimming and knitting ........i know your thinking how sad is this women but hey ho we haven't all got wonderful fun packed lives to lead and the ones that have ...............there just  telling fibs really ............ha

Even More

Now what Else have i bin getting up to ..........oh yes have a look at these

there beginning to grow just another 40 or so to make but i started to sew them together as to see if i liked the way they looked and so far i do .

When i have got them altogether Jane my fellow knitwit is going to teach me how to crochet a lovely board round the blanket to finish it off..................cant wait .......granny squares are deffo making a come back ............well that's what i keep telling myself
