Back on the (knitting) wagon

What???! Two posts in one week??!

Whats all this???!

Yes its true, i think i have found my groove again! (Hooray!)

Two WIPS to share now...


After being all on its lonesome for so long, i finally bit the bullet and cast on the other cable sock!  God i love those colours!!

...and the other...


My boyfriend cardigan is sloooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwlllllllly coming together. At. Long. Last.

I aim to get this finished before this winter!!! Although i will have to purchase some new needles for its completion; i.e. very long, bamboo, cable, 3.5 needles. Other wise there is just no way i can get the edging finished!

Right, im off to flop in front of the telly!

Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts!!
Thats all for now! Until next time, you take care now x

An Elephant never forgets...


Well, i finally got around to doing some knitting again over the last few days and im happy to introduce...



Although he turned out a little bigger than i expected (due to the awful yarn i had to use up!), and the clothes are a little snug on him, im happy he has made it into the world!
He is another brilliant and adorable design from the amazing Julie Williams from Little Cotton Rabbits. It took me about 3 attempts to get that trunk right until i had to take the whole trunk out and start again! - You will understand when you come to make it yourself!

Next time i make one (and there will be a next time if my little people are anything to go by!), i will use lovely yarn again!

He is for my niece who is expecting a little boy in August.

It was lovely to sit down and do some knitting again each evening. Ive missed it! But i really must get on and finished my cardigan!

Thats all for now. Until next time, you take care now! x
