...Hello...
Have you had a good start to the New Year?
Before we know it we're already heading towards the end of January..can you believe it?
It's been extremely cold and wintry in our corner and I've mostly been keeping busy
with my knitting needles, crochet hooks and lovely yarns.
with my knitting needles, crochet hooks and lovely yarns.
As I went on my recent trip without taking anything to keep my hands warm (it snowed!)
it gave me the idea to make quite a few pairs of mittens through the year in quiet time.
I'm enjoying knitting Mīlēt at the moment by Ysolda and well on with
the second mitten now. The pattern is beautiful and the yarn, which I haven't used before,
is really lovely to work with too (purchased as a kit on Ysolda's website)

I'm using my Knitpro Zing dpns which I initially purchased some time ago
and really appreciating the colour coded needles which make life easier in
so many ways... just perfectly practical x
A few more pinafores and cardigans are being knitted so that there will be
lots of ideas for everyone when I release the pattern
(and for those who have asked, the pattern will be available very soon!)
(the Little White Rabbit from my craftroom Xmas tree)
I've decided one of my resolutions is to work only on personal projects at the weekend and
concentrate on work projects on week days and so as well as mittens, I've also started a new
crochet project which I can show you next time...variety is the spice of life, right? 🙂

I work same as you. personal stuff Fridays to Sundays, commissions the other four days not that I have done much this last fortnight. I use Knitpro too.
