Back ...

Back from Canada and back to work! Feels like my trip was ages ago now. But I had a great time and got ALOT done in only 6 days. My mum and I hit the knitting sales and I came home with a suit case filled with more wool and fabric then clothing! lol.

I've got a number of UFOs and waiting project now. I got my cable knit project started, after tearing it apart about 5 times. It is now well on its way, with a little instruction from mum...and a better cable needle. I have also almost finished my second Moss Stitch collared jumper, just need to get the arms on it. And I have this little blue striped cardi going as well (not too fussed about that tho.) I also bought the wool for a jumper for my boyfriend which will get some some time in 2011. lol. Just need to find 5 minutes to get my act together....between cars breaking down and getting back into work. I will get it done! ....and  wont buy anything else until I have used what i have! (cough....or until I find something else I want)

Getting things done

Somehow, I have made another jumper in the last 2 weeks. I have remade the Debbie Bliss baby jumper with the moss stitch edging, this time in a baby pink for my Nieces' baby who is due to be born in July. It still needs to be sewn together but I think it will turn out nice.

Heading off to Canada tomorrow to visit my Mum and Dad and Budleigh (our Dog). Knitting is on the agenda. Have been booked into a mystery class on Sunday. My suit case contains my copy of the book "Greeting from the Knit Cafe" and "Baby Knits" by Lois Daykin, 3 balls of wool and about 4 pairs of needles. I hope to get some of my cable knit pattern done while I'm over there. I need some help with it since I have never done anything like it before. I also plan to get some wool to make my boyfriend a jumper... I think he is feeling left out with me always making baby things...(he is probably getting a bit worried as well...lol)
