Sloppy Blogging!!

Huge apologies for the sloppy blogging of late but I think I might be back on track. Had a few issues over the last couple of weeks and my knitting and crochet has really suffered. Not only have I not been doing much but what I have been doing has been dire to say the least. But I think my mojo is back so off we go :o)

The blue merino socks which are acting as my portable project are slowly but happily coming along. This is what I would expect as I only really manage to work on them when I am at Knit N Natter.

I cast on the February Lady Sweater last Friday and I love it. I've been mostly working on that when I am at home and although the yarn is 100% acrylic it feels lovely. It's Sirdar Supersoft Aran in a lovely shade of blue and I am hoping this will be the garment to dispell my garment curse!

Birdie from the Lucinda Guy pattern is still on the needles and I won't frog it or give it away but he's asleep for the forseeable future (insert ashamed look here!)

And my final yarn project is the Amigurumi Ladybird from Lion Brand. I love doing this but was overtaken in my lust for the February Lady Sweater. However, I am hoping to have her finished before the WWKIP day event in Harris organised by CalanaCrafts to show off to everyone.

And here's something not entirely unrelated to yarncrafting. I decided to try my hand at making my own stitch markers using Fimo. As you can see the end product isn't entirely attractive but I am happy that the theory is sound so I am hoping to refine the modelling. I'll keep you updated :o)
