Merry Christmas all. Grin

Off to bed as DS will have us all up at sparrow fart including his big sisters. Why do teenagers sleep the clock round every day except Christmas and birthdays?

Merry Christmas!

I have already done a bit of knitting and my husband said ;are you going to knit all day?' I said 'no, I am going to do some crochet too!'

I know, I thought what an odd question!! Nothing on TV, none of my presents are the sort that can be used so if I am not knitting then I would be literally doing nothing or going in my room to read!!

Happy Browsing! Never ordered from Black Sheep Wools but I do always look there when I am ready for ordering!

Lots of Stylecraft ordered from Sconch Textiles. Much stripey-ness will be created. I'm a happy hooker today!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 26/12/2013 11:52

If we could put pictures on this thread, I would put up a picture of the dinosaur I knitted to go in dh's stocking. If any of you get Knit Now magazine, it is the one from this month's insert - if knot, it is this one. His name is Cedric, and dh says he is his favourite present. Xmas Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 26/12/2013 11:53

Oh - and I forgot to say - happy slightly belated christmas to you all!!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 26/12/2013 12:02

RatherBeOnThePiste · 29/12/2013 00:22

Just contemplating whether to join DH in a nightcap or just shuffle off to bed.

Decisions, decisions. :)

Belated Happy New Year to all the Wooly people.

I just need to tell everyone this. Lovely, lovely DH and Dd bought me a fabtabulous book for Christmas. A whole book of Christmas decorations to knit and crochet. They also bought me some wool in some of the required colours. So this week i have knitted: A Christmas tree egg cosy, a snowman, a wreath, and four padded hearts. Am a little way into a Reindeer. Roll on this year's charity auction, shall have some lovely christmassy things to donate!!!

Sillybillybob · 06/01/2014 10:07

Oof... Right... I finally have "some" time, DS has fewer hospital trips (it's me, Trazzle) and I'm hoping to actually help out this year by contributing the odd square.

I've got yarn on the way and I've also ordered a book with some different granny squares in so fingers crossed...

RatherBeOnThePiste · 06/01/2014 10:36

You my lovely are a star! Thanks

And the most enormous yaaaayyyy to fewer hospital trips Xx

Sillybillybob · 06/01/2014 11:06

Not a star yet!!! Maybe if I ever get a square sent in......... Grin
