Goodness 2 in a week

Just when you thought I'd disappeared I give you 2 posts in a week!  I have also updated the pages which you can find along the top bar.

The slipover for Gus is now completed.  I love it.  I used Berroco Comfort and there is more than enough to make a top for Jess.  I have cast on Mud Puddles , and plan to add a couple of bands of the same pattern long the lower part, so they are sort of matching


 Jess here modelling a hat I made a while back, also one of her many cardigans.  I love her curls


and of course Gus in his bobble hat


Oliver Cromwell was sporting a "hat" in St Ives on Monday, I guess he wouldn't have been too pleased


Spending time with all the grandchildren on Saturday, so hopefully I can snap a few more hand knits in action.

Me again

Yes, I'm still alive, where does the time go? Over 2 weeks since I last posted, really not sure what I've done other than garden clear up, knitting and visiting my mother.

The garden is a full time job right now trying to keep on top of the leaves.  Its a late leaf drop again and the trees are hanging on, though a few more cold days and they will soon start shedding. The first 3 pics were taken walking back to the car on Saturday after a trip to town.  Went for trousers ended up with boots!!

Rachel and I found a brilliant craft shop after a visit to my Mum.  Its situated at the Taverham Nursery.  We will definitely be calling in there again


So onto the knitting - actually looks like a achieved a fair bit in the last 2 weeks.  The photo below has come on a bit this afternoon just the neck and arm bands to do on this little slipover.  I plan to make a top for Jess too with the same yarn
