What a beautiful day

....for knitting (no sadly I'm not, as I'm at work!). I finally cast on a laceweight Ishbel shawl over the weekend for a friend's 40th Birthday present. It's going well, but it'll be the lace section soon so I may revise that opinion this weekend. I'll pop a picture on later when I finally emerge from my office into the sunshine.

Have a wonderful day, and if you work outside even better x

Knitting & Crochet Blog Week

Really loving the sound of this. Hopefully it'll be the spark I need to get me writing. A new computer in a slightly warmer spot at home will certainly help! So pop the date in your diary and try as many blogs as you can.....

Slip,sliding away.....

Ooh you could write a song about that! So much for tackling the picture issue. You would think that being marooned at home by the snow for a few days since I last posted would give me plenty of opportunity, but don't be silly now.

I did have a laugh out loud moment yesterday morning and I confess it was the sight of my 6ft 2, gangly teenage son slipping over in the snow, bless him. As I live and breathe it was like watching Bambi again. He wasn't hurt honestly but the urge to giggle is upon me again, I must go.

Have a lovely weekend, stay warm and stay on your feet :) 

Finally some attention.....

Finally I've given this poor blog some attention, well as far as design and colour is concerned anyway. Next move is to really master the camera and post some interesting pictures alongside the wordy wanderings through my Woolly World! So instead of a New Year Resolution, its a February resolution. 'By the end of the week start posting with pretty pictures'.

Happy Wednesday all, hope you're keeping warm in your woollies x

Winter is finally on its way

After an astonishingly mild autumn and winter thus far it is apparently due to change quite dramatically this week. Lots of positives come from the freezing weather, we're incredibly busy at work (all those lovely little birdies need feeding!) which makes for a cheery boss, and usually a bit more time for cosying up on the sofa with my knitting. Obviously not on a sofa at work otherwise said boss wouldn't be quite so cheery :) Still working on the cardigan of doom which I haven't mentioned before as I'm only doing positives at the moment - could you tell???
