  • Hi, still knitting the waistcoat. I should have finished the back but discovered one of the balls of wool was a different batch but not until I had knitted 6" so I had to rip it back 😡. I didn't notice until I looked at it in the daylight. Honestly, I really think that wool is jinxed. I've lost count of the number of times I've ripped it back specifically when I was knitting the last waistcoat that I gave up on. Fingers crossed I've got enough in the same batches so finish it.

    Other than that the only crafting I've done was to make a scarf into an infinity scarf. It was very easy to do (thanks to Debbie Shore tutorial) and I'll wear it lots more in this style.

    I'm now very motivated to use up my stash as I've just booked a holiday to visit my bestest school chum in Australia. I'll be leaving 2 days after my eldest son's wedding in October. It was a very spur of the moment decision and now every penny is a prisoner. I like having challenges and this will definitely be one 😅

    Happy crafting xx
