Catching Up And New Things













































Well it seems ages since I posted here and it has been! I had a week away with the family in Greymouth at the CCS house it was a nice break, it rained a lot but it was nice and relaxing as always.


Been busy as usual with knitting and I had my first market! It was at Richmond, it is a small market with just a few stalls but very friendly people. It was -1 deg that morning so we all had multiple layers of clothing on but we were lucky to have a sunny spot. The G kids were a great help.


I have made several knitted items another Milo Vest in Vp Max for my friends new to be grandson. It looks lovely and it is the first time doing this with cables.


I also made an Autumn Cardigan by Kelly Brooker. This is great garment for layering as we head into spring.

Made some little shrugs too that are so cute.


I have also started a new venture and things to sell on my market, HANDMADE BUTTONS!

I have really enjoyed creating these none of them turn out quite as I had envisioned but too cute! I reckoned as they are handmade any thing goes! No more hunting around for buttons now to go on my knitting, I can make just what I need ,it really puts my stamp on them.

Well I am hoping for some sunshine this weekend as we have been having so much rain and not too many frosts, the daffs are coming out...... lovely can't wait for spring.

Have a great weekend wherever you are in the world.
