And the end of 2011...

This Christmas I got everyone matching Pj's and made slippers! 

I gave them all different colour trims but kept them all a Christmassy red! I was so excited about matching slippers!! My mam had the don of all slippers and had pom poms on the toes!

Other than the slippers and a hat for my uncle I didn't make many presents! I didn't have enough time! lol

Anyways... like i said before I'm treating myself to my very first present! Knitting my Aran cardi. :) I'm three days in and I'm about half way through the back pattern. Its different for me cause I've never followed a pattern before I'm actually loving it! its easier than making up a pattern on the go! 

I just want it made now! 

So my next project after this Cardi is...

MY KNITTING MACHINE! 

Yay, I'll finally have time to figure it out!

I have so many plans for when I can actually work it out!!

OOooohhhh, Excited...

Happy New year my lovely friends! Enjoy and be good! :)

Christmas Time...

So Christmas has been and gone and it has been one mad rush after another! With three stalls over 15 separate presents to make and trying to keep my sanity it has been a very busy Christmas but one of the best so far!

Although I was glad there was no snow, cause I can't stand snow!! Esmé (my beautiful little princess) kept asking for snow so I introduced her to the snow ball fight with Pom Pom snowballs. :)

 So I made loads of Pom Poms and we spent ages chucking them at each other! Esmé was interested for like five seconds then the rest of the time Hubby and I pelted them at each other! Was well worth the time and effort going into it.

So since not having time to make anything for myself I have come across the most beautiful Aran cardi pattern. Taking a break from mass producing things so I can make myself a little present!

That is the start of the back. Overly excited to finishing it!! EEEE...

Sorry that was my excitement! Also I have a niece due VERY soon... I may need to knit some cardis for her too!!

Something new I have planned is to get my knitting machine out and working! Blankets and machine knit jumpers and things to come! 

For now i'll just get back to making my aran knit. :)

Love! xxx
