Today has been a great day it’s been a tick things off the list day.

Now the only thing I have to do is finish knitting a sweater. A pattern by Marianna, starting out sweater. 

I also need to sort out my craft area little hands of my beautiful girl are busy getting into it. So I need to put all of it bar one project at a time. 

Shall we see what WIPS I have... 

This blanket was finished months ago but it fell apart as it was put in the washing machine. Violet-Anne loves this blanket, but she also likes to pick at it so she’s unravelled stitches. Time to rethink this stripy blanket. 



This fish n chip jumper for a wee boy due in October. I added a new stitch I’ve enjoyed on a sweater that isn’t finished yet 😏 I’m terrible. I know. 



The start of this new born jacket for the young boy due in October. 



This sweater I’ve been working on this for two months. But you can see the stitch I’m using for the fish n chip jumper. I’ve almost finished this should be project number one. 



 This pair of mittens was supposed to be done before winter hit whoops! This dishcloth I promised to a friend 2 months ago luckily she knows me well and knows that it will come! Just really late. So far that’s 6 projects!! 



These dish cloths just need sewing in and wash and blocking. These are a wedding gift for a friend. I wasn’t at the wedding as it was a private affair and fair enough too. I’m happy for them and I can’t wait to finish off the set I want to do three more dishcloths as I know she enjoys them plus a few other bits and pieces. 💞💓💕



This one glove for my mother I need to get the second one done ASAP. Because it is cold here. This was started before the big sweater. So at least 3 months ago. 



This is a fox scarf for my daughter. It’s huge!! 

And this blanket for my godson. 



And I just need to knit the matching pairs to these booties. 

I have 12 WIPs to do! Whoooo done from 25 to 12. That is improment right there. Now for the items that are ready to go. Which there aren’t nearly that many. 



The peanut warmer. The colours are darker in person. I don’t think I’ll be doing this pattern again. For a 0-3 month size. 



For the newborn in October. ❤️

So that’s 3 of the 25 I’ve worked on the rest of them have already been sent off or 🐸 frogged.

I’m Back

Darn it I had this whole post of things that I was in the middle of saying and of course my blog app decided to be a &@$* and say haha nice try NOT and it shut my phone down and when I reloaded he blog hadn’t saved automatically. Grr. At least I learned my lesson. 


Anyway hello again, it’s been a while since I last blogged but I did not stop knitting. I’ve learned many skills while I’ve been away the most stand out one is I learned how to read a chart, and now I’m thinking how have I never been able to do this before it’s not that hard.

Grr it did it again. But I’ve learnt to save. I guess I have to save more regularly the. Every two paragraphs.  This is going to take a while. 

Trying to remember what I was saying. 

Oh that’s right 

I’ve learnt quite a few skills. Learnt to read a chart. Fair Isle and cables. All so easy now I know how to do it lol. 

I’ve stared a Facebook page for this blog so I can post current projects etc without having to do a post per item. 

I can’t remember what else I was going to write. Ta for now.
