New Look

Hi all,

First, before the grumbling begins, here is a photo of my daughter sporting her headband (which she loves, which is great because she doesn't like wearing hats.)

I've picked up where I left off on my daughters Bolero, now that my friend is living with us she has cracked down on my W.I.Ps, she's locked down my stash and holding my knitting needles ransom. I am not allowed to cast on a new project until I have finished my W.I.Ps despite the fact I joined a group on Facebook to help with this and we start in January as part of the challenge. Nope, she doesn't want to hear it. She wants me to finish off all projects before starting another one. Seeing as how both her and my sister are both knitting Unicorns*, I am now out voted. I swear they take glee in torturing me. I am not even allowed to look up new patterns on the internet, even though we just went to the second-hand store and purchased 40 new patterns between the two of us. Grumble, grumble.

I suppose it's not a bad thing working on one thing at a time, weaving in ends, washing and blocking.... At least my daughter should still fit the Bolero if I finish it this week. Which would be nice. Although so saying that I've started a little wish list of items I'd like to knit. But first the Bolero, then the gloves, then the scarf (then upload that pattern), then the baby hats and the other items I am sure I am forgetting about.

Here is a link to the Bolero Pattern. I have to say Marianna's lazy daisy days blog is amazing for patterns, if you haven't checked her out yet I suggest you do so. Marianna does a lot of charity knits and uploads the patterns for free on her blog. A few are for purchase, but only because she needs the money to keep doing what's she is doing, which is understandable.

And as you may or may not have noticed there is a new look to the blog, I was getting tired of the old lay out and thought I'd have a play around on blogger. I think I've settled on something that I love. I do have a few more things to add on there though, hopefully, I can figure out how to do that soon.

I finished the no pattern blanket for my friend's baby Peanut, I will get her to help me write out the simple pattern and we will upload it on to this blog together. Stay tuned for the patterns.

~~Happy Knitting~~
