All kinds of crap

2paw – I owe you a very long email. Ditto April. And probably a few other people!

Thanks for the well-wishes. I spent the 7th of January in good company enjoying lovely coffee and cake and fondling many yarns and then spent the next day (my actual birthday) recovering! Not a bad start to the year.

Instead of doing individual FO/WIP posts for the stuff I’ve finished and have on the go I’ll just do a quick-and-dirty round up of some stuff now and some other things later in the month.

Fluffy Bunny and Camo Ninja minions for my sister-in-law and brother, respectively.

Gentleman's Sock in Railway Stitch in Araucania and Regia Stretch for my dad (bit late for Christmas, never mind!)

Windward by Woollywormhead - best modelled shot I could get, sorry!

I also have a pair of finished wristwarmers, a finished shawl for me, a finished cardigan for my mum (only 3 days late), some things I made for a swap last year, plus a purge of UFOs and probably lots of other stuff I’ve forgotten about.

 

I’ll get there … eventually!

Happy Saturnalia

Well … that was …. unintended.  I thought I’d better have another post here before the year ended otherwise it might look like I just dropped off the face of the earth.

I’ve drafted and written and re-written several posts over the months but just couldn’t summon up the energy or desire to actually put finger to keyboard.

It hasn’t been particularly good around at dyedinthewool Towers lately. The long-and-the-short of it is the last 12 months caught up with me and bashed me repeatedly over the head with a giant mallet. Yeah.

So, good days and bad days and I’m trying to take it one moment at a time.  I’m hoping to be well enough on the 7th of January to be able to go into Manchester and have a day-time knees-up with some of the local knitters (haven’t asked yet, but consider this an invitation!).

I hope to be back to regular blogging soon and I do have some finished objects to show you as well as some works in progress.

Tatty bye!

A quick knitting poll

Hehe – I said “poll”.

Thank you kindly.

I could tell you what this is about but then I’d have to replace all your cashmere yarn with Red Heart Super Saver.

Is it a sweater?

hippobunny is unsure

Or a sock?

Yup. It's a sock.

Hint: it’s a sock.

And do not adjust your monitors, it really is that orange.

Hiatus

Hi. Not dead! Still knitting. But mostly Life (TM) has hijacked my free, blogging, time. So, instead of a proper blog post, allow me to introduce you to Hippobunny.

Hippobunny likes playing Farmville

Hippobunny will be making regular appearances because I realised I lack any cute pets or children on which to focus my camera.

And I am still very, very behind on reading everyone’s blogs. Sorry.
