Enjoying My Knitting

Last few days I have been enjoying my time knitting. I have a nasty virus that has gone through our home, so knitting has kept me occupied.

No gardening and not a lot of house work over the last few days.

Finished another beanie for my stall. I'll take a photo of it tomorrow and post it.

Started a scarf for myself and knocked another ball over with Amy's scarf.

Posted off my swap for Woolaholics.

Best thing about having 6 WIP, I can knit how I feel at the time.

Have you noticed a new poll on the right of your screen??? If you have a couple of seconds, please feel free to let me and my readers know.....what knitting you tend to do more of. Thanks.

Until next time....hoo roo

Beanie

After making a heap of mistakes in my "Something New" swap on Sunday...think it was frogged 4 times. Said to Pat I need to do something easy and less stressful.

So I knitted a ladies beanie for my stall.






Started it yesterday afternoon and had it all sown up last night. Sure felt good for doing something so easy. Amy had a boo-peep at it and said, "I could wear this". Made me feel even better.

Knitted in "Yarn Bee" Seasoned Spice #075.

On the way to bed last night I walked into a door and my left arm is sore and swollen today. Aching like hell and taking pain killers, every 4 hours. Really hope it doesn't slow the knitting down. As time is drawing to a close for this swap.

Until next time....hoo roo

Not Only Lucky By Name:)

Look what I received in the mail today from Joey over at Woolaholics

I missed out on joining in the fun on "Death By Hat". Joey had knitted an extra hat and sent it to me.

At first I thought it was sent to me by mistake and as time went by on the forum , I was told it was for me.

How special is that? To be sent a lovely gift from someone I haven't had the pleasure of meeting....yet.

Thank you Joey and I so hope that one day, you are given a beautiful gift from someone and you too feel what I have felt all day. Each time I wear it, I'll be reminded of your kindness.

Until next time....hoo roo

World Vision Guardian Angels Program.

Three hats are finished and ready for posting. I tried to make a woolen tassel for the hats, but I couldn't. Figured the hat was more important than a tassel on the children's head.



I'd like to thank my 3 models "Leo" the Holden Lion, Teddy Bear & What's His Name.




Also thanks to Jackie for bringing this to my attention along with other knitters. I hope my 3 hats and a baby jacket I knitted awhile back, will help to keep 4 children warmer.




I shall be keeping my eyes open for this project again next year.

Until next time....hoo roo
