It’s May the 4th and you’re going to be bombarded all day with May the 4th be with you references, so here’s my one.
Have you seen the blanket made using the Star Wars Craft Charts by Leah Fenton? The beauty of them, is that they can be used in any project. If you’re a Star Wars fan or you know someone who is, go and check them out.
(I have to apologies for the photos today the light just wasn’t too good, sorry)
The Barbara Prime Fuzzy Mitten Mystery KAL 2016 kicked off last week, on Friday the 15th of the April and I just couldn’t resist the temptation to join in. I’ve either been too late or too busy to take part in previous years, but being on the ball for a change (well kind off), I signed up and paid for my pattern.
You remember the socks I’d been knitting in the Arne and Carlos yarn, the ones with the Fish Lips Kiss Heel?
By now the whole world must have heard of the Nellie May Shawl from the latest issue of Olann and. It went completely bonkers across all the social media networks and the #nelliemaykal is creating more interaction and a great buzz among the knitting community.
When I posted the other day, I had great plans to publish again the day after. That was Sunday and it’s Wednesday already, what’s happened? It’s not like I’ve been stuck under a pile of chocolate eggs or something, anyway, better late than never I guess….
I can finally talk about my latest FO now the latest issue of Olann and has been published. It’s the Nellie May Shawl designed by OfBlitheSpirit aka Alitzah Grant and I’m sure you must have all seen it by now, as it’s gone viral.
I thoroughly enjoyed my morning dog walk, it was beautiful out there and has now turned into the most glorious of days. Spring is definitely in the air, which has really helped us as we had our Olann and photo shoot earlier. I’m really excited about this coming issue and I know I’ve said that before, but it really is getting better every time (well I think so) I’m not sure if it’s because we’re more knowledgeable about the process, or whether we’re just more comfortable with what we’re doing? Whatever it is, it feels very much like it’s working.
Quick, quick, quick as there’s knitting group to go to tonight and serious cake eating to do. Not that I’m supposed to be eating wheat, but bugger it anyway, Victoria Sponge is one of my favourites.
It’s so blooming cold in my office today. I’ve the heater on, the sun is shining though the windows (the same windows are letting a draft in), I’m wearing the beautiful wrap Dina bought me from Berlin and my Ombrè Aran Mitts too but, nope. Still cold ✳
