happy 2010

Happy New Year to You. Not only is it a new year but also a new decade.

It has been a long time since I have blogged...sorry. I have been knitting though, but not as much as I would of liked. I wanted an incentive to help me in this area, so a friend and I have entered into a knitting war. The aim is to knit as many project as possible. The winner at the end of the year, Dec 31 2010 will receive a knitting related prize of their choice.

I am so excited. We are to still work through the final rules but we have already agreed on a few, one of them being, to count as a finished project the project must be entered onto Ravelry and blogged about. How cool is that?

Keep checking in here to see my progress. I must go now because I'm itching to cast on.

Stay blessed.

God Bless.  Speak to you soon.

why so many?

Sorry, I've been quiet for a while. What can I say? I got caught up in the busyness of life. It's amazing how quickly the days, weeks, months just past us by. Can you believe it, we are in the middle of February already.

Anyway, back to the knitting. Why did I call this entry 'Why so many?' If you cast your eyes over to the right you will see my Knitting Countdown List for 2009. I'm using this list to record all of this years knitting projects, both hand and machine knits. As you can see I've knitted 8 pairs of fingerless gloves and 6 button hats. This simple answer for the post title is...for sale. Yes, I've knitted the items to sell on my stall. In the next few weeks I'll be knitting multiply amounts of the same items because I've booked in for two crafts fairs that will be happening next month. All I've knitted for them so far are 4 cashmere scarves. I better get knitting.

Speak to you soon.

Winter is here to stay, well for awhile. This is the scene outside my window this morning, the great white carpet had been laid by the great Almighty. Is't pretty?.............From inside a warm home.

happy new year

Happy New Year to you, may God grant you your heart desires in this coming new year.

During my stay in Spain I spent a lot of time reflecting on the past year and setting goals for this new year.

My knitting goals for this year...

1. To knit 200 hand/machine knitted items by 31 December 2009.
2. To knit 12 items for myself; 1 item each calendar month.
3. To knit 6 items for my daughter: 1 item every other month - Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov.
4. Keep you eye on this space and on Ravelry. I promise to have plenty of eye candy for you.

Have a prosperous New Year.

i'm back

I've just got back from Spain. What a difference with the weather, London is much colder than Valencia. We spent Christmas in Pucol. It was kind of strange. Seeing and feeling the bright warm sunlight on Christmas Day.

This was part of our Christmas starter.........................

Valencia consisted of EATING, SLEEPING and of course KNITTING.

Stay Blessed and Have a great night.

one for him and one for her

I'm off to Spain in the morning, so I thought I'd upload pictures of two of my latest garments. One for him and one for her. Both of the garments below are for clients. Ahhhhhhhhhhh... but hey the next 10 days knitting in Spain will be all for moi. That's right, some selfish Christmas knitting.

God Bless and have a wonderful Christmas and I'll speak to you in the new year. Keep those fingers moving and knit.
