Sunday came and I had the loveliest morning. As it was a gorgeous sunny morning, instead of running straight to the yarn shop, I wandered round the local car boot first, and picked up some fantastic bargains, mainly clothes and books for Bella Bee, but managed to pick up that great bag in the last post. Then on the way home I casually sauntered (practically ran) into the local large chain craft store. I know, I know, and I usually avoid the massively overpriced, mass produced, charmless chain horror, but it was Sunday, it's local, I had the knitting itches and there was a sale on. Humph. So, I grabbed much wanted needles, and browsed yarn on sale, and grabbed a couple of bargains. A bargain is bargain after all, no matter where it comes from. I'm half way through and hope to finish quicker than I know I will.
About quarter of the way through here |
So hopefully a FO coming here soon. And for a bit of colour, if I get a wiggle on and do the very final finishing touches to the below, I should have another even sooner than that.
Peace out x

Hello Kier
Thanks for commenting on my blog, nice to meet you. I've enjoyed scrolling down and reading your posts and just love the ballet cardigan you made fro your sweet Bella bee. It's brilliant for a novice, well done. Amazing how much more confidence it gives you to tackle the next project. You are a girl after my own heart with thrifting, I too love a thrift mrs blog.
I think al us yarn girls get the same urge to knit now! I knew exactly how disappointed you must of felt when you couldn't get the circular needles on the Saturday evening! ;0) xox
Hi Kier - love the crochet and can't wait to see the FO from your first go at knitting in the round.
I started knitting in Jan when I got a set of interchangeable circulars and I knit EVERYTHING on them - there are so many great patterns for one piece knitting with them that I don't look at patterns that require knitting in pieces and sewing up. I can't imagine knitting with straight needles now.
i love my circs, i love knitting hats with them...
glad you found your needles..
thank you for your comment on my blog.
Your blog is lovely, I am so pleased to have found it. LOVE the Guinea Pigs how cute!!! love your first ta-dah and will have to check Wilkinsons in Stroud for yarn next time I'm over there.
Circs are the best I wouldn't knit on anything else now. I got a load in Lidl the other day where they had two in a pack for £1.49. You can also build up your sizes cheaply from Shaws (I think there's one in Gloucester) they do bedding and towels but also yarn, needles and hooks.
Look forward to reading more of your lovely blog!
Tickety-boo
