Ain’t it lovely?
I’m thinking of calling myself, well actually I can’t tell you exactly what came to mind first as it was a little rude, but how about Woolly Woman? To be fair the head is often best described as ‘woolly’, so it’s an appropriate alias in more ways than one.
I’ve been on a bit of a tidying up kick of late, so my black bin bag purchases have increased at an alarming rate and I’ve made several trips to the charity shop and rubbish tip so far.
I’m an early riser, especially when I don’t have to be. It’s Sunday, so it’s OK to have a lie in, but oh no, that never works does it? My eyes were forced open by 6 and no amount lying still with my eyes closed brought about some much needed extra zzz’s.
Warning – you might need sunglasses!
Don’t you just love finishing projects? I’ve made a promise to myself to try and get a few of those projects languishing in the sin bin completed over the Summer months if I can. So far that’s involved digging through the bag to see what’s in there and then putting them all back, but it’s a start anyway 😉
Yesterday was a busy day for making, no busier than usual, but it was filled with lots of little projects that come and go ‘just like that’.
You remember these lovelies that arrived in the post a little over a month ago now? They’re the first installment of the Famous Five Sock Club from Fine Fish Yarns.
Pretty aren’t they, but what do you do with 5 mini skeins of multicoloured yarn, other than knit/crochet blanket squares or make scrappy socks?
Confession time…..
I’m a much nicer person when I knit and my sore shoulder/arm/elbow (the pain keeps moving), has dampened my creative enthusiasm a little of late. I’m not usually prone to low ebbs, but this has taken a little of the wind out of my sails, so to speak.
I think, fingers crossed, sod it! – fingers, toes and anything else you can think of crossed, it’s on the mend.
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later I guess?
I’ve hurt my shoulder and I can tell you, it’s impacting on my life more than just a little right now. Ironically, I don’t think it’s from too much knitting, instead I’m pretty sure it’s from too much driving to woolly events. It’s sore to knit, worse to type and driving is up there in the OUCH! category at the moment, hence my conclusion.
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?
