Knitting Needle Pouch is Done!

I have finished making my knitting needle pouch – from Simplicity pattern 1079. It’s got loads of mistakes, a big one being the outer fabric pattern is the wrong way up – but it’s only for me and I don’t mind it so it didn’t seem worth the effort to cut out more fabric.

I’ve completed my 7th week on my dressmaking course and I have only just discovered that my tension on my sewing machine was all wrong and it could have been easily fixed by a little push on a dial that I never took any notice of before!

Crochet Progress Update, Ordered More Yarn, Cross Stitch Update

Hi all, sorry it’s been a while! I started a new job a few weeks ago so most of my time and headspace has been spent on that, but I’ve been itching to get back on here!

She is purling again! WIP and plans…

I’ve started knitting Christmas presents. I know it’s early but I am a verrrry slow worker! I’m also really excited because I’ve gone on a massive knitting/crochet shopping spree. Here is a photo of what I got off eBay for a fiver, plus my current knitting project (Mr. Happy kit from a knitting mag): It’sContinue reading “She is purling again! WIP and plans…”
