SORRY

So sorry for not posting on here for so long, well there goes one of my new year plans to blog more. Things have been really mad and the time has just slipped by (too much to do and so little time). On the knitting front i have taken the plunge and ordered a starter sock kit (having read about socks for so long on the AY forum) well it arrived on Saturday and i have made a start. I got into trouble straight away when trying to 'knit in the round' the ladies on the forum soon put me on the right track and i have done the ribbing :-) I will post a pic soon so you can see where i am up to, don't forget it's my first sock, so no laughing allowed.
Hope you all had a nice weekend, please leave a comment and let me know what you are up to, take care.

New Year Plans

Sorry i haven't posted recently, didn't have a great xmas i had the 'sickness bug'. Hope yours was much better. I've decided not to post about New Year resolutions because honestly how many of us actually stick to them but i do want to put down a few things and hopefully be able to look back on them at the end of the year (having completed them or some of them) and feel i have done something for myself and others.

1. To knit more
2. To blog more.
3. To knit for charity.
4. To make more time for me.

Just 4 for now and see how i go, i am going to keep a record of some of the things i actually get through, will keep this blog updated. Thanks for looking, let me know what you are up to in the New Year. Take care.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year Everyone.
Hope you all had a great christmas and i wish you all a happy & healthy 2008.
Have a great 'knitty' year too :0)

Xmas present

Started a scarf in Aran , pattern is Irish Hiking scarf, here is a pic of WIP . Will post again with an update.

Fingerless gloves

Gloves now finished and DD2 is very happy with them, knitted in Aran yarn they are very warm indeed. I will have to find time from somewhere to knit a pair for myself.

Finished items!

Finally finished the bolero :) (Hope you like it)

It was such a big project that i was very pleased indeed when my DD2 asked for some fingerless gloves.

Thank you

Wow, over 200 posts. Never thought i would have that many. Just to say thank you for looking at my blog and being so kind in leaving a message :) I haven't posted for a while (again) but i promise here and now to do better. Quick update on the bolero, i have finished one sleeve and about half way through the other, when completed i will post a pic. Thanks again.
