Knitalong


~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, .  I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? 


This week I have just finished knitting a jumper for Josh.  The pattern is Jummy from Jaegar Handknits book and the yarn is ricobaby classic dk.  The yarn is acrylic but is not too bad to  knit with and hopefully will wash well.


I am not sure what I will start next - maybe a Christmas gift or something for myself.  There are several things I would like to make from the new Rowan book.


As regards reading I am giving 50 Shades of Grey a miss, I just don't think it is the book for me, so I have picked up an Alexander McCall Smith book.  So we shall see how we get on and report back.  I know others have enjoyed this series.


Hope you all have a good week and have lots of time to do your knitting and reading.

Preschool Sports






They had races of all sorts, egg and spoon, running backwards, balancing the coil on your head  and all the children were encouraged to join in.  It was very good and I think all had a lovely time.  At the end the children were all given a certificate for attending and a medal. (which has been worn since we left preschool and no doubt will be worn for days to come!)

Knit a Long

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, .  I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? 







I thought it was about time I included some pictures of finished ariticles - so the top two pictures are of the shawl I made for my mother in law - Oaklet Shawl.  The bottom picture is my latest project - Jummy byJaegar handknits.  This is a pattern I have made several times for my little one and this is the latest version.


As regards reading I have just started Fifty Shades of Grey which I blogged about last week.  It is an easy read which is good because at the moment I seem to crash quite quickly once my head hits the pillow.


Joining with Ginny from Small Things for this weeks knit a long.

Knit a long



This week I am knitting Anderson by Lisa Richardson for a friend's baby.  It is an easy knit so can be picked up and put down as and when.

I have almost finished reading my current book so have jumped on the bandwagon and have bought
'Fifty Shades of Grey' by EL James.  I have read lots of good things about this book and hope it lives up to my expectations.

I am also hoping that my copy of the next Rowan knitting magazine arrives soon so that I can start thinking about my autumn/winter knitting.  The weather has been so terrible in the UK for the past few weeks that there has been a little bit more time to knit rather than spending time in the garden.
Shame the garden could really do with the attention.

Hope you are having a good week.
