Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to anybody who may be reading this! I've let my monsters out trick or treating. Charlotte is in control of the younger ones.....I hope they behave for her!


Charlotte dressed as a corpse bride.


Josh as a werewolf.


George as a vampire.


Molly as the prettiest witch on the block!


This is my lot with a couple of their friends.

Don't they look a motley bunch? I used to love trick or treating, now I'd rather sit at home watching my Eastenders and having a nice cuppa coffee....does that show my age? lol. I'm slightly concerned about the amount of e numbers and nasty colourings in all the sweets they will be bringing home with them. I will have a child size cage ready for them!

On the knitting front, I have finished my stripey arms cardigan and I have now started on a v-neck cardigan in King Cole Spot-on DK, it's knitting up lovely......pics to follow!

Some of my finished work

Found my card reader.........yeah! I searched the house a few days ago and nothing, today I was looking for something else and found the card reader, how typical is that? I've uploaded a few of my pics, some of my knits have found new homes so I can't get pics of them. My friend is expecting a baby in December and I am knitting loads for him......so I'll show you what I have made!



This is the first thing I made....not too bad!



My knitting was a bit tight when I made this, I'm hoping it will loosen once washed.



The hats and mittens are my own design, the green set is made from Patons 100% cotton.





This is knitted from a pattern in the Simply Knitting magazine.



I love the little monkey buttons on this, I think they finish it off lovely.

Well ther's some of the things I've knitted and I am still working on the stripey arms cardigan. WIP to follow!

I'll have to get a pic of the siamese cat I knitted, I made it for my mum, she is a siamese cat breeder. The stud cat, Billy, has taken a bit of a liking to it and keeps running off with it, so my Mum has had to hide the toy in her wardrobe!!

Hello

Well this is my first post on my new blog, bare with me it may be a bumpy ride! I'm going to write down my knitting triumphs and my knitting catastrophes(there will be many). I will tell anybody who is willing to listen....or read, about my family and my.......let's call it a hobby(more like an obsession)!

I started knitting about 7 months ago and I love it, I have a made a few things which I will post pictures of eventually, until then I will write a list.

• A big sampler blanket in chunky wool....my first attempt
• 2 premature baby cardigans.......unintentionally small.......but the baby was born 5 weeks early!
• A piquit baby bonnet for my daughters dolly
• Umpteen pairs of booties
• 6 baby cardigans
• 4 hats
• 3 pairs of mittens
• an Alan Dart Siamese cat

I think there is more but I can't really remember! I am currently knitting a stripey armed baby cardigan for a friends baby. I'll have a look for my card reader and then I'll be able to show you some pic's!
