Me a model!

As I mentioned a few weeks ago I teamed up with Beth Ann Photography to shoot a few hats and some of One Hand Knits Knitwear designs and here are some of the results. Although it took me a while to get used to being in front of the camera I quite enjoyed myself in the end.

 

You can see more on my facebook page. 

These are a couple of the ones for One Hand Knits.

And a huge thanks to Beth Ann Photography for managing to make me look so good!

Wonderful Women Christmas Party.

Last night was the Wonderful Women Christmas party. I was exited about this as between working alone and working in the pub it's years since I've had a party to go to. 

Early on we decided we wanted to see some Christmas jumpers on the night so this helped motivate me to finish mine! 

 Here is me and Lizzi from Betty Blue's Loungerie she got that amazing jumper from etsy. 

ReeRee our organiser and Rockalilly owner and Pip of Pip Jolley Jewellery in amazing matching jumpers. 

We also did a secret Santa so we all left with a little something.

I couldn't have got a more appropriate gift! I got the Betty Blues bag and inside was some tea and a tea cup to help me make decisions! 

I'm a huge tea lover and got it out this morning, here it is next to my little tea pot, isn't it cute. 

Briar Rose Vintage Knitting

As you may know I have been doing the knit along with the lovely By Gum By Golly and this week I finished the Briar Rose jumper, I'm so pleased, you cant really see in the pics but the yarn has a very subtle sparkle to it. It fits really well and the pocket so so cute.

You can see how everyone is doing on our flicker page.

Knit along

I'm doing the Vintage knit along that the ever so talented by gum, by golly is doing. We have chose the pattern we are using and are just looking at re sizing.

As for colour, I'm not sure yet weather I'm going with mustard or ivory but I'm thinking something quite neutral would be good as than I'll wear it more.

We are not due to start knitting until the beginning of March so if you want to join in there is still time.

This link will take you straight to all the posts on it.

I'm looking forward to challenging myself as I seem to struggle to finish my knitting projects at the moment!

August Break day 18 and my knitting.

Do you remember me showing you the Prefect Christmas jumper from the Vintage gifts to knit book by Susan Crawford, well I actually started knitting it, still not convinced I can get it done in time as I have so much on and am a slow knitter but I'm going to give it a go.

This is a pic of the amazing and lovely original. 

I decided I wanted snow flakes rather than the trees in the origonal and luckly the swatch I did had the same tension so I went ahead and changed the design, I'm still having the rain deer though.   

pins N needles

One of the things that is keeping me busy at the moment is an expansion of the knitting group I help run at a local pub the Fox & Firkin. The pub has always been a bit alternative and has supported local bands for years and the lovely manageress decided she wanted to extend that love to the crafty among us. So as well as knitting there is going to be craft things going on and a clothes swap, with me on hand with my trusty sewing machine(Edith) to help people. It should be a fun night, we are launching on Wednesday the 28th October so if you are in the lewisham area please do pop in. The facebook group is here.
