Week two and still going strong.

Well the cold wet weather is keeping me indoors longer, so what better way to spend that time, Knitting and yarn sorting.
Trouble being with yarn sorting is you get distracted and start dreaming up your next project.

I did behave and keep to the plan of finishing started projects, this little cardigan has been delivered to a beautiful baby girl, making me a great Aunt. (Gosh I feel old saying that 😂)

First week and feeling motivated.

A few of my finished projects in 2017, did so many lovely things, I am hoping to double the amount  this year.
Just to get going for 2018 I finished these two little cuties, that belong with the hat sets I did back in the Autumn. I did two complete sets and this third set got put aside for other things, so I am pleased to get them finished.

Happy New Year

Welcome to 2018 everyone, here is hoping it is a Happy and Healthy  year for us all.
What plans do you have for the year, or do you not plan at all and go with the flow?

My goals are set for small tasks each month this year, I figure small steps will be more achievable.
For January it is yarn stash being put into some sort of order (actually that is a big task) a fun task as I have set aside time to do this one, rather than rush in and do it half hearted. I have so much yarn it needs to be done.
I will post back my progress.
Have fun whatever you are doing this month.

First week down and I have 8 clear boxes stacked full of DK yarn, not quite sorted into colours yet but at least it is all DK together.
This week I am tackling the sport and Aran weight, then maybe move on to pattern sorting as well. Wish me luck, this task is way bigger than I ever imagined. Yarn who said I have to much !

December where did you go

December has flown past so quick, it seems as soon as I picked up my knitting gifts, turned round and they were wrapped and delivered. I love Christmas knitting but this year seems so have flown by so fast, I have not had the chance to really play with the colours and design more.
Here is a few of the Christmas knits I did. I hope everyone managed to get all their knitting done.

Love a bit of bright colour

The great thing about Christmas is the sparkle and all that red , white, green and gold. What more can you want in some bright knitting.
Here is a pair of mittens I did to start my  Christmas knits off.



Did this little cardigan for a Christmas baby. All wrapped up waiting to deliver.


Second little Christmas cardigan done, I used sparkle yarn for the red, it looks so lovely

Mittens or gloves

As the colder weather arrives here in the UK its time to keep them hands warm. What do you prefer to wear Mittens or Gloves?
Here is a new Mitten pattern I have just finished and is very popular already.

Then you have the fingerless glove style which I love for driving

Then you have finger gloves that turn into mittens Watch this space for the pattern release coming soon.

And then of course you have the glove with all fingers covered.


Loving a little pattern on a mitten, then these could just be what your looking for, easy pattern to follow and fun to do.
