Well here they are, I finished them the other morning and love them.
I think a big part of why I like them so much is to do with the fact that they are the knitting project that I learnt not only to knit with DPN's but also to knit cables! I can't quite believe I managed it. :-)
This is where I got the pattern from. xxx
I had a conversation with my auntie on the phone on Monday which then resulted in her coming to see us for the day on Tuesday. It was a lovely unexpected visit which I think made it all the more enjoyable, it's been really nice to see a lot more of my family over the past few weeks.
(Having a Very healthy lunch! Oops!)
Ray, Rose and I were out for dinner this evening with some of our friends and their babies and Somehow!? I ended up with a chocolate brownie dessert in front of me.. I have No idea how it got there... and well, of course I couldn't not eat it, could I..! Haha. The healthy eating DOES start tomorrow though!!
We went to the shop 'The Eternal Maker' after we picked Lettie up from the station. I went there with Mum last week and I promised myself that I wouldn't go there and spend any money for at least a month! I didn't quite manage to keep to that promise though...
What with both Mum and Lettie visiting, I've been bought some really lovely fabric goodies. I really am lucky to have been spoilt just a Little bit...
(Thank you xxxx)
Also, Lettie has taught me how to sew foundation patchwork, so this now opens up a Whole new world of craftiness to me. So exciting!

Hello you! This all sounds very exciting! Your hand warmers are really beautiful! Well done you! I must say I was just as struck by your wonderful looking nails though!
ReplyDeleteIt got so frosty this weekend here in France that I rushed to my favourite yarn shop and went a little mad. I am now frantically knitting... when I have the time, that is! Your little sweetie looks adorable, by the way.
Have fun with your new patchwork dreams.
Thank you for such a lovely day Ash. Pasty was lovely but looking at the photos makes me think it is about time I cracked on with the real healthy eating! And it was a pleaseure to teach you Foundation patchwork.
