Welcome to my fist ever blog posting! Exciting isn't it?
Well apart from it being literally freezing I've recently joined a local knitting group, which meets once a week.
It's a wonder any knitting gets done with all the chin wagging that goes on. But hey ho, I've managed to finish 2 projects so far. Both are scarves to keep me nice & cosy in this wicked weather.
The first is knit with Rico pompom wool. It was a pig to work out how to knit with, but eventually I cracked it. You just pinch the pom poms out of the way & knit 2 stitches between each one. Hey presto!
The second scarf (now finished) was knit with Katia mystery wool & formed a loopy ladder scarf. I'm really pleased with the result.
The chickens have been quite miserable today with the rainy cold weather. It didn't stop them being naughty & ripping up newspaper though.
My little cat ' Poppy' has had her collar off today from her 'ladies operation' & is curled up fast asleep. I might just be able to get my knitting out soon whilst she sleeps (fingers crossed).
Next project is my little knitted rabbit & I've also got a hat I want to try on circular needles (yikes)!
Wish me luck & happy crafting!
