More Berries and Cream :)

These were a delight to knit, as the wool striped fantastically!!! They are a medium, with custom leg length :)

My son, the Diplomat

Joel and I made a hat yesterday, and had fun with it...as you do....
After we'd finished, I needed 5 minutes to get on with some woolly stuff and he wouldn't let me, and my washing machine broke too.........so I was a littled irked. Anyway, he threw his hat on the floor, and stamped on it...I lost my rag and screwed it up and threw it in the bin (yes I know, naughty Mummy) I felt awful about it, so I apologised to him, explained why it happened, and we made 2 more hats together...
Later on in the day, after the school run and pre-school, Joel had a little friend round to play. He got the hats off the window sill, and went to give Daniel his. His friend said "Wheres mine?"...and Joel thought for a minute...and gave his friend Daniel's hat. Then he went over to Daniel and said...
"Mummy screwed your hat up and threw it in the bin Daniel, so you hav'nt got one"

After I recovered from fits of laughter at his cleverness, it occurred to me he might have a future in diplomacy....hahaha

Have wool......will dye

Have been waiting VERY impatiently for 1kg of Merino aran to arrive from Prestige Yarns this week...and was very excited when it arrived this morning :o)
Got straight on with dyeing some of it up, for special goodies soon to be listed on my new website....watch this space for an announcement SOON!!!!!

Me and my boys

We went to Bradgate Park today, and took the camera...we always forget to take the camera normally, so we made sure we got some good family shots today :)

I cannot believe my two boys are going to be 4 and 8 very soon....they are growing up so fast!!!

On Fire!!!!

All finished, and in lightening quick time too......hehehe!!!
Theres quite a bit of yellow pooling of colour, but I don't think it matters, as they look great...all flamey!!!
Woohoo.......

Balled up the Fiery today....

Going to start knitting with it later.......had a request for a large pair of Pants!!!

So...what this space for the results....hehehehe

Troll Beads!!!

Here they are on an existing necklace I have...so I saved myself a packet not buying the appropriate neclace and separate clasp :o)


They are beautiful...I am really pleased with them!!!

Ickle Longies :)

Here's the Berries and Cream Newborn Longies being modelled by a beautiful sleepyhead :) They are such a great fit, both her Mum and I are really pleased with them. Hoorah for WoollyBottoms!!!

Funny Faces

Hard to tell where Spud Head ends and my boys begin.....hehehehehe :o)

Apricot and Blueberry Pie :)

A bespoke pair of ribbed Longies for a little Pie :) Lilac merino, coral merino and hand-dyed BFL..... yummy!

Winter Warmer

This is the last of my BFL.........saved the best till last huh? I am so pleased how it turned out.

Red, orange and yellow....... "Fiery"

For my little friend in Switzerland

These were an absolute joy to knit, the wool patterned so well!!! They are an XL pair of pants, with BFL hand dyed body and pure wool cuffs in a Ribena purple colourway :)

Berries and Cream :)

These are a custom order, especially for a friend of mine, who has recently had a baby girl :) She uses reusable nappies, but won't be using these longies as a "cover", as she uses stuffable AIOs, so they are cut a little slimmer than usual. Made in hand-dyed 100% merino Aran....and they are yummily soft, perfect for new born skin :D

And oh so ICKLE *grin*

*UGH*.....poorly me.....*UGH*

Well....it started on Sunday, thought it was just a cold, but as it transpired (after a trip to the doctor man) I had a chest infection, and a bit of flu as well I think.....because on Monday morning I literally could not move :( Every bone in my body hurt. My darling husband has been a complete star throughout, as usual, and took 2 days off work soI could get over it.
It lasted till, well, this morning! I woke up and finally felt human... HURRAH!!!!
I knew it was bad......I hadn't done any knitting for 3 days......
But I started a new project last night, in a beautiful colourway most expertly dyed by Gemma, for a beautiful girl in Switzerland. They are shaping up beautifully, and the yarn is forming a really interesting pattern :)
Feeling a bit more optimistic about being 35 now *grins*
