Nope, I haven’t been KOed (for years I thought that was a dyslexic mispelling! The joys of having family members with a learning disability!), I’ve signed up for a swap over at Craftster. The theme is “Stars” and going off the previous 3 swaps it should be great fun. If you’re already signed up at Craftster and have made a minimum number of posts, sign up (they close next Sunday, the 20th)! I’ve already started gathering stuff in anticipation. I can’t show anything here becuase it’s not an anonymous exchange and my blog URL is in my signature over there.
Photos ‘n’ stuff:
I’ve uploaded a shed-load of photos from pre-Flickr times here. If you’d like to laugh at admire my early work it might be worth a look.
Bonny Charms:

The light quality is shocking at the moment, so I’m afraid this is the best I can do! I made some yarn bobbins out of a shoe box (bottom left of the picture). I’m doing two-handed colour work. There is a mistake in the chart, so if you buy the magazine just be aware of that.
SLLS:
Just finishing the toe on the second sock and then I’ve got to undo the toe on the first. If all goes according to plan, I should have these finished by Monday (as will the stripey shorts be).
Simply Lovely (!) Lace socks – the bane of my life!
Safety First!:
I have a terrible fear of breaking my birch and bamboo double-pointed needles (good to know you’re not alone, hey April?!) so I bought this cute little box when I was out in town on Thursday.
Well, until Monday (at the earliest) when I should have some more finished stuff to show.
hehehehe YES, very nice to know I’m not alone in that! I should really do the SLLS one of these days, I guess. It just stinks that they took 2 friggin months to get me the pattern so I totally lost my momentum =(
I like the Bonny Charms thing! I want to try Fair Isle very soon, in the form of a little dress vest for my 7yrold.
So many projects in my head!(to keep the voices company and give them something to do)
