Oops!!

1st Anniversary
Like Poshyarns, I missed my 1st anniversary in blogland!! Shameful I know. The silly thing is, I was aware and determined to celebrate it on the day and it passed me by just like that. In keeping with the anniversary I am offering a prize draw. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and son number 1 will do the honours on Sunday. I am offering some hand made stitch markers and yarn.

Knitting news
I have been wrapped up in finishing Mary - duly finished - and duly ripped out again. She was too long!! Mary fights back. For the moment I have retreated. she is all undone again and I am gathering up courage to rip down to the right measurement and finish her once and for all.


I've nearly finished the baby jacket. It's waiting for a zip

And in my dark hour of despair I started this , the cover design. My second year of blogging will be about me using up my stash. I have a few cones of cotton cashmere and cathay and lots of patterns for them as well, so I have no excuse. When I've finished the baby jacket in it's entirety I want to start this. Again yarn will be from stash.

I am so sorry to see the ripped apart Mary. She looked so good after being washed.
Only 5 more days of lent and your yarn diet will end.
I wish I could see you camping outside the yarn shop.
