Christmas Fair - Here We Come !!!


Hi,

As is usual at this time of year, we are starting to prepare for our school's Christmas fair at the end of November. This year I am making some bunting again and I am already under way with it all, as November gets even closer. I have already sewn together lots of the triangles and today I have been cutting off the tops off the bunting, so they will be ready to pin into the bias binding and then all I have to do is sew it all together.
I will keep you posted on my progress.

Have a great rest of your week!

Half term knitathon!

Hi!
Hooray it is half term and even though I have lots of work to do, it has not spoilt my plans to knit all of the two weeks, no matter what! At the moment I have two projects on the go. A hot water bottle from a new book I got called A knitters year, written by Debbie bliss, which is looking really nice but isn't really something that I can do without thinking but it is still nice to have something new on the go. My main project at the moment is starting to knit for our stall at the Christmas fair. We decided to do it again this year because not only was it a great experience, but I love knitting something which I now don't even have to concentrate on while doing it. Saying that though I have had to undo one this morning -  ooops!
My aim for this half term is to get one done a day. I finished one yesterday/this morning so it is still possible to get one done today as we are going to be in the car quite a lot today. I might even get two done, although that might be a bit too ambitious but we'll see! I have only knitted three so far, so it is really important that I get a lot done this half term if I have any chance of making enough. No pressure then!
I hope you have a lovely weekend
