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.
Woolly wishes,

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,

What do you wish you could do more every day?
Knitting of course! Sadly work and chores, eating and sleeping get in the way! Have to admit I don’t mind the eating and sleeping😋

Solo holidaying – the new me 🧶
At the beginning of the month I had the pleasure of attending the Stitchtopia Festival. And guess what I’ve come home with four unfinished projects😱
I was quite late booking my place so my choice of workshops was limited.
I was really out of my comfort zone doing the falling leaves applique with Kim Suleman but I enjoyed what I did and fully intend to finish the project ( the crafter’s mantra).
I pushed myself with the little crochet pin cushion designed by Emma Leith and I’m quite close to finishing this, so actually have no excuse.
The cable and beaded handwarmer is coming along but winter is a long way off! The cabling is right up my street, the beading is new and working on dpns feels wrong!
The entrelac sample is strangely addictive and that is the one I keep picking up inbetween frogging old projects and knitting little hats.
Both of the knitting projects are by Frederica Patmore.
So keeping busy, need to pull my finger out and get something finished.
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡
WOOLLY WEDNESDAY
