Stuff!...just saying ;)

There has been knitting...photographic evidence provided!!!!!

Well I thought it was about time...*cough*
There has been knitterly activity, just not much on the 'let me take a pic of it' front. There are also a few items, of which other people will have to take pics of because i've given them away as gifts (don't hold your breath - they think i'm weird enough as it is lol)


Click here for new photo album


Sorry for having to add the album link but I can't get my pc to upload the bloomin things!

This poor blog is getting more and more neglected, it'll be phoning Blogline and reporting me to the NSPCB ;)

Don't get excited!

This is just to prove i'm still alive lol

chimneys and fo's...

The Chimney...almost extinct...i'm want to save mine!!!



I'm really liking these...this is by Crobbles off rav...I will link her pattern(promise)




And finally a real FO...top down cardy (made up as I went along but unspired by the schemetics of the razorboobolero pattern)
Needles 3.5mm/4mm and a discontinued colourway of sirdar click dk (liberty)


Hopefully more soon xxx

poor neglected blog...

...i'm sorry for not attending to your needs and giving you the attention you so deserve. I have no excuses and have shelved you merely to make time for other things. I've been over on Facebook...


I do have some knitting on the go and I cannot be everywhere at once...still the kids are back to school tomorrow, so maybe i'll have more time to devote to you - I hope you understand that I still love you bloggy, even if I don't demonstrate it.



There - I feel slightly less guilty now ;)

Friday (evening) Foto

Friday Foto Feature

 

Enough for everyone? ;)

I Forgot!....

...Today was (is) my Blogoversary!


Thankyou Teena in Toronto for reminding me xxxx

DIY (Done It! YES!)

I've always wanted a swift. I usually end up looping my skeins, either around the knobs on my chest of drawers or the legs of an upturned chair. Neither are that great really....

Konnex are quite fab aren't they?...DH has promised to make a wooden one now lol!







This the progress of Mams cardy. I managed to get the fronts done but i'm definitely not going to have enough yarn for the sleeves - bugger! I have one 50g ball left and haven't started the bands yet.
I've decided to do the bands with the remaining ball and think of something to do with the sleeves...they are going to be very very short and Mam will have a lovely waistcoat cum gilet type of thing (hopefully).

And here's how a Doily becomes a hotpad/scrubbie and a little more useful than a Doily...I got the inspiration from frustration (I couldn't work out the origami hotpad for the life of me, now I sort of have one.)

Can I do it? well i'll give it a go...;)

Friday Foto Feature (week3)

Fresh this morning :D

(ok it's not) Friday Foto Feature

I know it's not friday but i'm not going to be around tomorrow and didn't want to miss week 2!



This was taken at Damflask Resevoir...not bad for a phone pic. This place is a gem, hidden away in the peak district of South Yorkshire. It has everything from meadow to woodland - I love this place and it's 5 mile walk around the actual resevoir. 
The other end of the resevoir looks like this...



This is the view of the fields on the 'peak'...



So 3 for the price of 1 but I just felt the need to show a little insight ;)

Slow Progress...TdeF KAL...

Well, that's the biggest piece finished...and that's it so far, IT'S TOO BLOOMIN HOT!!!!
I'll get cracking on one of the fronts tomorrow - I will, I Will, I WILL! (kicks ones self up the arse *wink*)

Friday Foto Feature

I chose this photo because as a child I was scared whitless by it! but now I can see it's beauty (and appreciate it - I feels it represents me and how i've grown).
It's in the heart of one of my 'chill out' places Newmiller Dam....which will feature a fair bit in the Friday Foto Feature

Fish

I really wanted this in my sidebar but couldn't get it to work pah!
Still you can feed the fish and let them follow your cursor...:D

Stop! Mama Time...

It's that time of year again, ,Mam wants a new cardy lol. I'm using a cotton/bamboo mix DK in Raspberry. The pattern is out of People's Friend magazine (but I did not read any of the other stories, ads and suchlike ;)).
I'm going Polka Dot for TdeF KAL this year and hopefully it'll help me get a shufty on and get it done...failing that, Mam will kick my arse anyway :D

Hopped in - Popped out!

These are my favouritist socks ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hopping Along...

 

Yay sock one done...just about to cast on number 2...:D
