The Great British Sewing Bee!

Hi!
I have been watching the Great British Sewing Bee and have not missed a single episode ( even if that's not pretty hard as there has only been two.) All of them are so talented and I think it is such a great idea for a T.V show. I cannot wait to see the next one on Tuesday. I really hope it comes back next year. I love the fact that they give patterns at the end of each show. They make it seem so easy though. How do they it so fast!!
My favourite contestants are Anne and Lauren. They are probably as far away from each other as you can get. Where Anne comes with experience, Lauren is very eager to go and is learning as the show goes on.
Does anyone know what happened to Jane? Please comment and tell how you find the show.

What you need to knit!!

Hi Olivia here

I have had a really nice holiday and as I was relaxing in Cornwall ( great weather) I thought that maybe I should do a check list of thing I need when I am knitting. Especially as I have come back to discover Britain in bleak mid winter I have plenty of time to knit.
This is my list of ten things that I think are essential to help you knit.

1. A comfy chair

2. A hot drink

3. Needles

4. Nice wool

5. Lots of time

6. A little something to eat

7. A good T.V programme to watch

8. Slippers on!

9. Feel relaxed

10. A great pattern!!

Easter balls!!

I have been knitting Easter baubles this week. They are from an another amazing book from Arne & Carlos, called Easter Knits. I made one yesterday which is the one in the pictures, and have just started a new one now. The ball I am knitting now has little tulips in pots and is very cute. I haven't been knitting with dale of Norway yarn though as was turning out to be really expensive shipping it over from America. I have been using Millamia wool and works just as well, maybe even better. I got the idea from a blog which suggest this and thought it would be a good idea to have a go with it. I have only used Millamia wool twice before and I love it!!
Here are some pictures. Will post a picture of the other bauble when I have finished.
