Seriously in just under 2 months I have collected a large stash of Yarn, Needles and patterns........ How did that happen? I read all the time about my very established knitting friends talking about their stash and the need to downsize but seriously these guys have all been knitting way longer than I have. So is this my life from now on? and ever growing stash of yarn in the most beautiful colours? I think so and I have to say I am over the moon about it :) I have an empty chest of drawers that is just screaming out to be used and now it will be huzzah it has been saved from a trip to the dump. I have also been thinking about Mothers day and what I would like and normally I would ask for the usual, flowers or perfume but this year I have asked for a gift voucher to spend in my local knitting shop The Knitting Bee ( well we have to support local business' huh ;) ). So I have confessed to my "slight" growing problem and I reckon it can only get worse but hey so far I don't have any projects that are half finished destined to a life stored away and forgotten YET!
I am currently still working on my Cardigan using a Sirdar Big Softie pattern and wool and so far so good, I have only frogged it once so I am very happy and as it knits up on 8mm & 10mm needles its coming along nicely and is a great project for a novice like myself. I will post pics of the finished product hopefully next week. I am also practicing a baby cardigan using very cheap DK form the £ shop & 5mm needles it is knitted in 1 piece following a Anneta Patel pattern from the book in my previous post and so far so good again hopefully pics to follow.
So that's all for now I am intending to update regularly but I am VERY new to this blogging thing and if the knitting doesn't get in the way who knows huh?
I am a 35 year old mamma & Mrs who has made it my new year resolution to learn to knit!
