Christmas stocking!!!!!

Hi!
Yesterday went round to our local sewing and knitting shop were I bought a lovely pattern for a stocking made with Millamia wool. I have already done tons as is it such a nice project to do in front of the t.v. Lovely wool which was much cheaper than I expected it to be. Only around £5!! It might even be nicer than some rowan wools!!I am making the stocking on the far left!! I wonder what it will look like when it is finished! Cannot wait till Christmas now!!

My First video!!!!!!!

Hi!!!!
This is my first video on how to cast on using the thumb method. I was really nervous making it and that's the reason I couldn't do a basic knot at the start of the video but it got easier as I went along. I hope you like it!!!!!!!

Another present!

Hi Olivia again!!!
Had a whole day knitting yesterday with a friend and did tons!!! She was making a lovely scarf with cream softie wool and I was knitting my grandma a present. They both look beautiful and am almost finished myn. I have been knitting like crazy but now the weekends over I won't get so much done. I am possitive I will finish before the end of the week though! It will such a lovely present but I am afraid I can't put it on until after her birthday but it will be worth the wait I promise!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect purchases!!

Hi Olivia here!!!
I have just been to my local sewing and bought a lovely pattern as well as an amazing travel sewing kit. First the travel sewing kit. It is so cute!!! I love the tin it comes in but the stuff inside is so nice!!! In it you get these really cool scissors which fold up, a thimble, some white, blue, red and pink thread, six safety pins, a tape measure, some buttons and poppers, an unpicker and some needles!!!!!
The knitting pattern I got was also really nice. I have had some lovely softie wool for ages ( almost a year!!!) and needed to use it up. I set out to try and find a pattern to use it in. I found a really nice pattern for some slouchy slipper socks which are really nice and comes with three other patterens and was only £2.99!!!! Although I will have to buy two more balls of wool they look so nice it is worth it and just wanted to get rid of that wool!!!!!

Ampersand!!!!!!!!

Hi!!!! Olivia here.
Have been so busy making little things. First, I have been making an ampersand for Fred&Eric the company we did the interview with. They ask people to make their version of the ampersand in between the Fred and the Eric. It uses beautiful rowan lima wool in a gorgeous ruby red. I have covered a wooden ampersand with the lovely wool and have knitted a pretty flower as well as a sweet little leaf. They're also knitted in the rowan lima. I used up some of my old scraps lima which was perfect. It would of just been pointless to have bought another two balls of the lima. I still have enough for another flower maybe even another leaf!!!!!!!!!!!
