    update

    still working on the men's sleeveless jumper for LH, seems to be taking forever as well as the jean greenhowe clown, thats got too much sewing up to do lol. also making socks for LH too.

    aside from charity knitting, i have finished ds socks, made bf a warm hat for work when its cold, and nearly finished my hoodie jumper, just the finishing on the hood to do.

    hugs to everyone that needs one

    Hello all!
    Moliere Glad you've had such a good week with your visitors
    ISOM Good luck with the knitting group - is it going to be a local one or an online one?
    F1widow Hope that your next door puppy gets a friend or at least some attention soon
    Update:
    6 Veg Pot Warmers

    Have also sewed my blanket squares together and blanket stitched the edge - it will be going to an orphanage in Belarus eventually. A lady from The Lewis charity shop, which also raises money by selling donated second hand furniture etc, drives a lorry over once or twice a year. They also need knitted jumpers and cardis for ages 0-6 so I'll be doing some of those for my next charity project.

    First, though, have to post off all the Innocent things as not likely to have much time for knitting next week; have just realised that the casual invitation to a friend of my sisters over from Oz to crash for a few days and I'll play tour guide etc - "no problem at all (thinks) it's months away" is happening next Wednesday so emergency cleaning food prep etc is in order! Really meant to do it all in little increments over weeks, but have been feeling so bad of late just kept on putting it all off. Ah well, fingers crossed the hoover doesn't break down!
