So Busy!

Well I have neglected this blog a little! I have finished Veras Wrap and I love it!

Hope everyone else does too!

Rebecca had her birthday and loved all her presents.

I have had another two custom requests for items so that is really good.

I am also helping on the creative connections website to do the knitting section so will be busy with that too, designing halloween themed knitted items.

A new bag is listed in my shop on MISI too.

Eventful few days

Well its been an eventful few days with the children still on summer hols and coming up to Rebecca's 12th birthday. In between me feeling ill and children running around I had a custom order for some wrist warmers and leg warmers in illuminious pink!! wow they are bright but I am really pleased with them and I knitted the leg warmers in the round so no seam in them, so easier to pull on and off. These are both my designs and I am really pleased with them.

Well not much knitting being done today, I have been clearing up and sorting out toys to go to the charity shop. I am in a real cleaning and clearing up mood today (I dont know whats wrong with me! lol)

I have done a little bit more of veras pleated wrap this morning first thing and I have my sock knitting sitting on my table in front of me while I am on the computer.

I must stop looking on ravelry as I keep seeing more projects to do! Although it is such a good inspiration I am sure my Nanny would have loved it when she was alive. I hope I am making her proud :)

Kirk From Corrie !!

We met Kirk from Coronation Street opening up a shop in our local town!! My two boys wanted to meet him, so we stopped and had a chat with him and they had their picture taken and my son, Josh got his autograph.

I also finished the cuff part on my socks (self patterning) and did a load of vera's pleated wrap and we all watched Overboard a classic with Goldie Hawn ! lol

New Blog!!

Well I have started this new blog starting today! Saturday the 8th August 2009. Next friday is my daughter Rebecca's 12th birthday, where does the time go! I have been knitting for a few months now and have opened up some successful shops online. I have had many orders and I am getting comissions to do other designs too. I am also doing a fashion and design course, which will continue when the children are back at school and nursery.

The projects on the go at the moment are a pleated wrap/shawl for Vera's 93rd birthday in september in a lovely powder blue, which I am sure she will love. Also my second pair of socks are on the go in a self patterning sock yarn which I am loving using and will use this again.
