Archer

Just been watching Archer on 5star, brilliantly funny. Hubby got me into it, and the rest is history. I think he's responsible for my adoration of films based on graphic novels. Went to see Thor on Saturday, and immediately wished I could erase it from my brain so I could GO AND WATCH IT ALL OVER AGAIN! And the guy being well fit was no hardship on the eye either :-)

Love

Isnt it great when you love what you do? I have been knitting through my life, since I was a sprog in primary school, and its been constantly challenging and interesting to me. I've been working on a shawl, working on my second shawl actually, and its coming on fantastically, despite the occasional frogging.

I think I'll get the pattern onto Ravelry . Its a keeper! In other news, a PICTURE!


Pincushions I made, the largest is about 4". I really like these! Just working on a few things for the possible stall at the Ayrshire Craft Fair. I'm on the reserve list, so fingers crossed I have enough made when I hopefully get a call.

I know, not actually knitting. But I love doing this too:-)

Cool.

Gardening leaves

Been away for a week, and we came back and found the leaves had appeared from nowhere! Looking out the window has suddenly become very arboreal and lush, all little green shoots and sprouts everywhere. The view has improved immeasurably, which meant I was out today pulling lovely lush and freshly sprouted weeds from the poor suffering bed in the front garden. Looks good though, and the veg is coming up a treat. Heehee! Very Tom and Barbara.

Working on a shawl just now, in wool from Nairns Knitting World on eBay. Good length in the ball too. I may even post a photo on here sometime.....

Novelty Knitting

www.clarescopefarrell.co.uk

Just been passed this website, great ideas, if not many I would make myself. I'm sure if I showed it to DD, I'd be getting requests though. Hope you have had a nice Mother's Day.

Dipping a toe in the water...

Ahem. Hallo. Hallo? Is this thing on? Ok. Right. Well. 

Hi, I'm an occasional quilter, permanent knitter and infrequent crocheter, who bakes, eats well and too much, and looks after a house, a hubby, a nearly 4 year old daughter and a noisy cat, all of which eat into my crafting time something awful.

This is a journal, diary, notepad, call it what you will, of the things I have made and maybe some other random gibberish and ranting as well. I better not say anything too incriminating on here, but I will stick to the tried and tested abbreviations for family. DH can be himself, DD herself and the cat will just have to put up with all and sundry knowing his exploits. He's called Freddie.

Well, that's all for now, and I hope it wasn't too boring for everyone.

Cheers.
