Knitting.....trying to knit at least! Going much better than previous attempts I have about half of the first part of Anya's cardigan done with very little trouble apart from when it came to shaping under the sleeve holes. I had to watch 3 tutorials on you tube before I got wrap and turn down. So got a delivery of some chunky wool from ebay and started knitting a scarf for myself with it. first time I have changed colours but it seems ok so far. Only started it so I had an easy(ish) project to go to when I got frustrated with the cardigan ;-)
I will post pictures on here when I get a bit of time (and piece and quiet!) to do it. I am very proud of my work so far. Also trying to learn crochet - never one thing at a time eh?
Found a great tutorial on pinterest (look on my knitting and crochet board) on how to make a rag rug using single crochet. It is a very clear and very easy to follow tutorial for a round and an oval rug. I will be on the search for old sheets, curtains etc that I can rip into strips and use for that. Watch out everyone I will be digging through your laundry lol!!
Another thing I found on pinterest was a very elegant and rustic looking wall mounted shelving unit made from a wooden pallet! Look out work - Dave and I will be upcycling a couple of the pallets you have laying about outside not being used.....
I cannot believe that I have only just found out about pinterest - how have I managed to exist without it? The hints, tips and ideas on there are amazing. It is full of a wealth of knowledge from all over the world.
Anyway have to go now as got food to prepare and Anya trashing my non-toy space with toys because daddy doesn't tell her not to so that makes it ok. Grrrr!!!
