WOYWW 15th September

Holy cow batman - is it really that long since I've managed to squeeze in WOYWW?!! Crumbs, really I hadnt realised it had been that long since I was snooping round peeps desks and letting you do the same.
Well in my defence a lot has been going on. I've been crocheting like a mad person - ok like the mad person I am - as my good buddy Clare wanted me to make this cardi for her from a pattern in the Womans weekly. That is now complete even though I did have a wobble right at the very end as I doubted my ability to be able to sew it up! But after putting pics up of the completed cardi, another friend said that she wanted one in black so a great big bonus and a large smile on my face.


You can most probably see the latest order that I'm working on (another pink baby blanket), a beanie style hat that I made yesterday,


general mess from making hubbys cards the other day (I just can't do tidy whatever I do) oh and the last shot is of my wool tub plus several bags of wool/yarn. I've also got some more in the spare bedroom that I found in the loft from when I bought my (sadly neglected) knitting machine.
Also, last week, I started my new job of "Lunchtime Supervisory Assistant" otherwise known to you and me as a dinnerlady. So my day is well and truly broken up now, and to add to the changes, we are moving next month too so I may go a bit quiet again.
Anyway, I'm here this week and will do my best to get around to some of you but alas I dont seem to have as much time with the work thing going on but I'll try.
Now I'll link this as soon as Miss Julia has posted, so if you feel like joining in and showing us your crafty mess or tidyness (I know there are some of you out there) please pop over to The Stamping Ground AKA WOYWW.
Take care now and I hope to see some of you guys later

  3. What lovely crochet on your desk and the blanket, too. I can't believe you made that hat in a day. It would take me a month to make it. Happy WOYWW.

  35. Good grief Sam, how busy?! Lovely knitting - I'd truly have thought that the sewing up was the easiest part - I don't know though, I haven't ever knitted. Hope the upcoming move doesn't invlve hours of clearing and sorting of craft stuff, and having to choose between things!

  40. hi there, I have also dropped by to say that this will be my final visit to your blog for at least a few months, I am going abroad to get married, and coming back to moving house, settling down before I can come back online. I appreciate your kind comments and your visits to my blog, I will try to update it from time to time, but I can not promise. I will miss blogland, take care and catch up soon, from me - wondering if anyone will miss me in blogland...
