Arne and Carlos garden knits!

As it was my birthday on Tuesday, I got a few knit related presents. I got a new Arne and Carlos book called garden knits. It's also a crochet book which I am hoping to learn soon ( fingers crossed!) It has some really lovely things in it. I especially like some of the garden characters! My favourite characters are the mice. I also really love the knitted handles for the little spades and the lovely crocheted blanket. Will need to learn to crochet before I can make the blanket though!

All sewn up!

Hi!
They are all done. I cannot crochet yet, so my friend's mum has crocheted them all. Yippee!! If you have a look at the photos at the bottom you will see her in action on one of the first few. It has just hit me that we have less than two weeks to go. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! Now I am getting worried! I hope I have done enough. I have to start thinking how I am going to present them. There is a trug which they have been sitting in since the start which may be the easier option!! It really feels like Christmas now. Only 34 days to wait!

32 down, a few more to go!!

Hi,
Who knew knitting could be so tiring?! I feel exhausted! I think that I am going to start sewing up soon as possible, as I have only got three weeks to go! It may sound a bit early to start, but I have got 32 to sew up! It's going to be an extreme sewing up job! I am going to do one more week of knitting and then I am going to go straight to sewing up. I might even start doing a few tonight while watching T.V. I don't know whether I have made enough yet. Starting to panic about not getting everything done. Wish me luck!
Next week is my birthday so hoping to get lots of lovely knitting stuff too!
Have a nice week!

Five down, Seven to go!

Last post I promised you that in this two week half term holiday I would make twelve baubles. As you can probably guess from the title, I have made five but have started my sixth one already. Don't start thinking that I am a super knitter though, as have been in the car a lot so have been able to knit then. Still, five in five days is pretty impressive!

Everything is going really well with the baubles but I am almost all out of red wool. Only one ball left! I am going to make four or five baubles using green though as I have around one and a half balls left of green and I might even have some left over from making some baubles last year. Still got loads of white left though. I think there will be enough. Fingers crossed! I hope you have a nice rest of your week. Happy knitting!!

Bauble over load!

Hi!

I can't believe how many baubles I have managed to make this week. I have made three this weekend and two in between school. Have also taught Maisie how to purl and knit two together and purl two together. I have made about sixteen baubles altogether, but have not had time to stuff them (have got about six or seven unstuffed). 

Am really excited as Arne and Carlos are taking part of the John Lewis knitathon which means they will be in London this Tuesday!!! Cried a little bit when found out that the day they were doing knitting classes, I was in school. Wish I could get a day off to see them! Still cannot believe they will be in John Lewis though. If any one is lucky enough to see them please leave a comment and tell me about it!

I hope you have a lovely rest of the weekend even though the weather has changed here!
