Too busy knitting to blog

Lots of baby things to knit :)

Pretty in pink

Knitting has taken a back seat lately, been busy travelling up the motorway to see number one grandaughter.

She is such a sweetie!

Been a bit busy lately

Thanks Anna!

Baby knitting

So now my knitting projects are all concerned with making baby things. I have finished two pushchair blankets for expected babies 1 and 2, and the next project is a big clown doll, then some baby cardigans and jumpers. I might be brave and have a go at the famous Zimmerman 'surprise' baby jacket, hopefully with some assistance from beeptwo, who has made one with the help of copious notes along the way.

One big plug

Not the sort you put in sinks or into the electrical socket, or even in your ears.

If you want a really funny read for the summer, this book will provide that and is a cracking page-turner too. Available from Amazon

This week I have mostly been knitting.......

.....dishcloths.

They are really quick to knit and lovely to use - much better than those blue cloths which soon get yucky. These can be thrown in the washing machine and kept nice and clean. A ball of dishwash craft cotton makes about one and a half, but I found some cotton on a cone in my stash which works just as well hence the multicoloured design!

There are millions of dishcloth patterns on the web, I just liked this one as it was easy to knit and looks quite nice on the sink.

Long time no blog - sorry, have been massive disruptions in the house (it's a long story and a big insurance claim) but gradually getting back to normal.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Just felt like adding a complete contrast to the last photo. Difficult to believe it was taken 5 weeks later!

Long time gone...

Been away for ages! Had a lovely holiday which involved Hong Kong, New Zealand and the Cook Islands. Ready to start knitting again and getting back to listing on Ebay. And now with a grandchild on the way I have a whole new lot of knitting to plan! Just need to get over the jet lag...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone and Happy Knitting.

Me and him outdoors are off to the other side of the world for a little while, so will be out of touch for a few weeks. Bitstobuy will be in capable hands though! See you in the Spring....
