Well its been some time since I blogged last !!! so I must be doing this on a regular basis. Well first of all we have had the creation of Peggys Knitting Kits, I have done a facecloth/dishcloth cotton one and also a sock knitting one. Each of them come with everything you need, including a bag to put all your bits and pieces into!!






Also it was sprinks birthday!!! so I knitted her a little bunny with a cute little pink dress on, I am so glad she liked it! here is her blog http://sprinklessparkles.blogspot.com/













I then decided that a goth inspired bunny was next and got very creative with my next bunny! I am sure you will all love her, chains and crosses and red netting underneath her skirt too!

I am also working hard on the creative connections website http://creative-connections.ning.com/ and having knitting chats on there, as well as helping with the magazine that is due out on the 1st April so keep a look out it is a great issue !! Anna and Sprinks are hard at work as we speak and they do a fab job !! Anna is the crystal lady and her blog is here http://crystalladyblogs.blogspot.com/

New Year







Well I havent been blogging as much as I should be. So here goes, christmas is over had a lovely time and have been very busy with my knitting and developing new ideas for peggys knits. Had a few problems and health issues but trying to be positive now!









We had loads of snow about a month ago and the kids loved it, especially being off school ! lol



I have also been busy making socks, here a couple of them, on this page they were both for very good friends of mine. Now making my daughter Rebecca a pair and a couple of secret ones are in the pipeline ;)
I am also making another pair of not socks by Chopped Tomatoes, Machelle is a great designer and I love knitting her patterns.

Time for more blogging




Well I havent blogged for a while so thought I had better start again today. I have been very busy with a couple of custom orders. These include one for a boutique in Scotland which is great. I am also getting ready for a craft fair at the end of Novemeber.




A few of my newest creations include a neckwarmer. I have made two of these as I love it so much, it is a real striking piece and I hope to sell lots of them in my Misi and Folksy shops.


Another new item is a cute cyber punk hot pink bag with fluffy detail at the bottom. My daughter loves it ! Might have to make her one for christmas.

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.




Sunday, 9 August 2009

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 :)
