Knitting - FO Friday

Morning everyone (or evening/afternoon depending on when you read this).  Its been a long week and I plan to enjoy every minute of the next 3 days, doing what I like to do best.  Spend time with my family, knit, maybe do a bit of Christmas shopping and just have some fun. Its the annual Mill Road Winter Fair tomorrow, so lots of fun and food.  I'll be sure to have my camera with me.

I have been working on some more hats and also some very cute boots, I think I am just a bit in love with the boot pattern and as trying to see how many ways I can knit these to make them different. These are to fit 6-12 months and they are knitted in acrylic, great for using up oddments.  The pattern is beautiful bootees from Cute Knits for baby feet

These I knitted for Jess a while back from the same pattern

This hat I made up as I went along, using aran weight yarn, I made a crocheted chain for the embellishment

Again using aran weight yarn this hat is a mix of a couple of patterns - age 5 years +

Then another headband and some mitts - sorry some to the photos are a bit yellow, but shot them at night!

So thats my output for the week, sale on Tuesday, then hopefully I can have a bit of a break and knit something else.  Miss J needs some more cardigans as she is putting on a growth spurt.

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to check back for the Winter Fair photos.  Here is a taste of previous years 2013, 2012

When's a fair not a fair?

Today was the annual Mill Road Winter Fair.  If you remember we went last year and Rufus loved it. This year it just wasn't working for him.  He understands the word "fair" to mean a place with mechanical rides now, so you can imagine his disappointment.  He was right stroppy to the point that he would have none of it, and wanted to go home.  It was bitterly cold and damp which didn't help!  Anyway the rest of us tried to enjoy it, there was plenty of good things to eat.  Laurie slept through it all. Unfortunately, Rachel is poorly so didn't come, she was greatly missed.   So these photographs are for her.

Peter and I decided to stay in town for a while - we should have done some Christmas shopping but just couldn't be bothered. So we just wandered about for a bit and then went for a pint.

This morning being the 1 December we gave Rufus his Advent Calendar - of course he wanted to open all the doors.  At the moment Rufus is "off" having his photograph taken so this is it I'm afraid, he just won't look at the camera
