Well, what a weekend, I have now got Cornish Organic Wool And Kits, so I have been knitting a sheep tea cosy for the shop window. I have found out that loops aren't that difficult. But, I haven't embroidered the face yet, not one of my strong points so may end up looking like one of the cast of the new film 'Black Sheep', evil and very wrong.

I have also arranged my winter Workshops for the run up to Christmas, including an Aran workshop, Check out the link

Why does Aran still come up as wrong in the spell check? steek doesn't come up either, intarsia another, surely other specialist words make it into the spellcheck so why not us knitters?

My lovely long fur arrived this morning, so another fudge looking bear will be appearing shortly, Photos to follow, Oh and I havent finished the second arm of the baby sweater, tonight I promise.

Well, I couldn't manage a whole evening without doing anything, so despite not knowing any pregnant ladies at the moment, I started a 0-3 months little lavender Aran, back front and half a sleeve later.... It looks so small, I cant believe either of my kids were that tiny, but its a pattern I knitted for the eldest when I was still pregnant. I shall post a picci when I have finished it. I shall offer it for a charity donation, so get in touch if your interested.

What a week! I have managed to throw myself down the stairs, socks and uncarpeted wooden floorboard stairs don't go together and i forgot to leave the socks at the top of the stairs as normal, and ended up at the bottom a lot quicker than usual. My shoulder is so painful, I cant knit!!! I cant actually do much at all, so my lovely hubby is going to have to cook dinner. I cant put much pressure on my wrist, no cutting, no sewing, I think I am going to go a bit mad.

Ha, computer strikes again, I cant get my husband upright!

This is National Knitting Week, Feels odd, as I knit pretty much every day, am I to knit extra I ask myself? No, I have decided to stock wool in my little shop. Lots of local knitting shops have closed, and many people have asked for it, so in honour of National Knittting Week, I am ordering lots of wool. Our knitting group, Knit One Sip One, which meets in The Kiddlewink bar in the Westen Hotel, St Ives, on the second thursday of the month, had our first male knittter join us last week. I was really suprised as Knitting is still seen as being in the female domain, despite Kaffee Fassett and Brandon Mabley. But, even they knit for women. I can think of nothing sexier than my man in a cuddly sweater, (well I can, but thats not for this blog!)
