Mince pies will have to do…
Just realised it’s my blogiversary today. No cake but I thought I would share how the mince pies are going.
I will be handing these in on Tuesday. I’m hoping someone else is making them because the sewing up is a right fiddle.
Woolly wishes,

Changing the world one stitch at a time… I have reached my second blogiversary this weekend. Two years of the trials and tribulations of a yarnophile and would-be hooker. A huge thank you to everyone for reading my drivel and for all of the advice and support offered over the months, it really is appreciated. […]
HAPPY BLOG DAY 🎂
Nearly forgot! And once again thank you for reading my drivel.
Woolly wishes,

And I’m not taking any chances on the next pair…
Two pairs of mittens completed using the frogged yarn, now I’m making a pair out of some leftover plum yarn but I’m paying more attention this time and keeping the first mitten close at hand to mirror. I know sone ladies who knit them both at the same time but when I attempted this I got into a hell of a tangle! So one at a time for me.
These are destined for the Shoe Box Appeal later this year.
Happy knitting!
Woolly wishes,

Getting my bits ready for knit and natter…
I have had a Monday morning off so yippee I had the chance to go to Knit and Natter. I’ve been making children’s hats and mittens for charity.
However,
On finishing everything off I discovered I’d made 2 left mittens rather than a pair. Shouldn’t accompany my knitting with a glass of wine 🍷 Anyway nothing to worry about I’ve still got plenty of frogged yarn to make 2 right mittens 😃
And back to Knit and Natter! I’ve had a lovely morning drinking tea and eating cake while knitting and chatting.

What are your favorite emojis?
🤔
T’wit T’woo 🦉
I’ve always been partial to owls – one of nature’s hunters and they always look so intelligent. My sister-in-law has made me this very cute little barn owl.
The pattern is from a RSPB crocheted bird book.
Feeling very blessed.

Look what’s lurking in my work basket…
This cardigan has been on and off my needles for the last 18 months. All that is left to do is sew in one pocket and sew on the buttons! (Note to self ‘where did I put the buttons?’)
It’s made with Aldi Aran yarn from the family cardigan pattern in the Moffat Weavers pattern book. I’ve had my money’s worth out of this book I must say 🤣
I had several attempts at taking a picture of the cardigan, here’s one that didn’t make the cut 🤔
Hoping that your knitting is getting past the finishing post ❤️

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?
Not often enough!

Starting early….
I have joined another knitting group run by the Wheely Different Theatre Company. The group has been tasked with making the props for their Christmas production. And I am making mince pies.
The pattern is from Fitting in Knitting, although the small one is something I’ve adapted! And they need loads more so the needles will be busy.
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡
WOOLLY WEDNESDAY
