Monkeying Around!

I finally finished my 'Puzzled Monkey Socks'. I started off by actually wanting to make a pair of no purl monkeys but ended up going toe up and then offsetting the pattern. I like the way it undulates (what a cracking word)up the leg.

I used TVYarn in Casablanca colourway (this is koigu base yarn - fingering merino) and 2.5mm addi turbos...love em!!

Whoo hoo!!!

I've been awarded this by the very lovely Joy.
The rules/guidelines are as follows but i'm sooo pants at these as by the time I get round to it, everyone has already got one lol
Anyway here goes...
1. Post this award on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who sent you the award.
3. Nominate at least 4 other bloggers, and add their links as well.
4. Leave a comment at the new recipients' blogs, so they know they got an award.

I've chosen these 4 peeps cos I like their blogs...Murdo has just come back to us, Curlycable has been feeling guilty for not blogging...Pictish will have to update now *wink* and finally Debs who has been posting but I know she's ultra busy now she's a teacher and I just wanted to say something along the lines of well done!!

Hopefully i've done it right lol!!! and Thankyou again Joy...you made my day :D

Proof that Plastic doesn't rot...

Oh yes...this was dug up in our garden at the weekend. That bottle has got 6d off the price, yup 6d - not 6p!!!! It's got to be roughly as old as me at any rate ;)
I've decided to keep it, it's only item in the house that hasn't got an email address on it...:D

The 'C' list has started....

Well it's start...the dreaded 'C' word will be upon us before we know it and I now have one present sorted! yay go me! and it's from stash *halo polishing as I type*

Urchin by Ysolda and a cowl of ones own creation but kinda copying Ysoldas Urchin short row effect, ok, ok, - I mean inspired by ok! ;)
I have used 7mm needles for both and made the medium sized Urchin. The yarn is Colinettes Prism in Monet colourway. I have also nearly finished a second Urchin out of the 2 skeins I had...i'm happy!


I really like this pattern and it will feature quite heavily lol

next up will be scarves, again from stash and I was supposed to be making a hot water bottle cover...I will, i'm sure someone needs one. :D

Wickedly Different...

Hurrah! All done and the weather has changed to allow me to me to wear it (how kind ;))


Yeah I know...I just had to pull a face so as not to distract you from the jumper :P
