Flower tea

I've had a spot of tonsillitis recently so my wonderful mummy sent me some flower tea through the post. Isn't it pretty!

Moss stitch

Here is the moss stitch square I started using purple and yellow wool. Not keen on the colours together but the effect is nice so I'm pleased with another experiment. I'm enjoying all this practising but it's time for a proper project now I think.

The cross stitch house is coming along nicely, I should hopefully have it finished this week...finally!

Edith and Sophie

Edith and Sophie are our two very sweet little black kittens. They always make me giggle so when I saw this I just had to add it to my list. Once payday is here I shall certainly be ordering it.

Knitting away the grumps.

It's been a very grumpy day today, I'm not entirely sure why however since I've had a glass of Sauvignon and a good knit I feel a lot better. Todays experiment has been moss stitching with 2 balls of wool on some big needles, it's looking quite good. I might invest in some nicer colours and get some scarves knitted. I shall upload a photo when I have finished this experimental square.

Stitch, stitch, stitch

Nothing much to upload today really. I had a lovely trip to Matlock Bath with my Dad and Tom which was lovely. The country makes me feel very happy and inspired. I did get a bit crafty when we got home but it was more cross stitching of my house which I'm hoping to have finished soon, exciting.

Another knit shift

I had a play around again tonight and now that I understand stitches a bit better I have stitched some patterns into my blankets for mice! I have no idea how I managed to knit the corner piece, not what I was aiming for but I think I could do it again of needs be.

A possible future project.

I love this bag but I would honestly have no idea where to start with knitting in the letters. I shall keep practicing though and maybe one day it can be knitted knitting bag.
