Competition!

Casting on...

So on Tuesday A called me and said "My friends fiancée is learning to knit and now he has a phone sock... Can you make me a better one?" So we talked about what he wanted and when I had picked his colours and style I was happy to start! I finished it yesterday and I'm really happy with it! So happy with it in fact that my phone is keeping the sock warm for his phone until tomorrow. I think I'll have to start myself a matching one and we can have His and Hers phone socks!

The brooches have been a big hit! I've sold a few and people seem to really like them which is good! I'll be taking them to "Knit one, Sip two" this evening to show them off a bit more!

Lastly, my dad has planted he socks and is waiting for them to grow... more on this at a later date!

Felting fun!

Casting on...

I've got some pictures of my felting!



Yup! Hand felted the first square which came out great! Didn't take a picture though.
I then machine felted then next square which came out much more felted but very fluffy and soft so I loved that one!

Here are pictures of what I'm doing with it!



It's so much fun! I love picking which bits to sew on. I've got two that I don't like as much but someone might! You can see spome more pictures here Busymitts

The Kettle

Casting on...

Hope you had a lovely Easter! I did, it was wonderfully warm in Norwich with my parents and A.
I got a little bit of knitting done, finished the first of a pair of red leg warmers and I'm on the turn of my heel in a pair of socks.
Though while we were there the strangest thing happened a man gave us a kettle. Just walked up to us and gave us a kettle, an old scummy dirty kettle! It was fantastically strange! We handed it into the lady at the desk of the hotel and she was just as bemused as we were!

Since being back from Norwich I've started making squares from felting. I'm going to make them into brooches for gifts!

I'm going away today to Spring Harvest, so any posts for the next few days will be from my phone and will be short (It takes a lot of time to type on a tiny keyboard).
