I've been little quiet over the past few weeks on my blog, but I've been a busy little bee making things and sorting through mounds of clutter.
There's still a load of clutter to go through, but I do have 2 cushions, 1 bag and 1 blanket to share with you that I have made during those 'take a break' moments from the de-cluttering!
I have one more cushion to finish and I'm currently knitting a jumper for Steven (at his request, I should add!) Ever since he saw that I could knit he has pestered me constantly to knit him a jumper in the style of his favourite football (soccer) team - Arsenal. But it's not the modern strip, instead he wants a retro 1970's style! Fortunately the retro strip is very simple - red back and front, white sleeves and white neck. So a basic jumper pattern is all that I've needed to use (thank goodness!)
I don't knit as fast as I can crochet, but I'm hoping that as it's just a simple stocking stitch the whole way through I'll be able to get it made in time for his birthday on 20 July!
It's a busy birthday month for us, today (7 July) is Steven's Mum's birthday and she loved the blanket that I made her and with the current lousy, rainy, miserable, grey and cold weather we are having it would appear to be a timely present for anyone to get!
Next birthday is Steven's, but he's not a big birthday guy so there will be a couple of presents but nothing fancy, maybe a nice steak for his tea, but that's about it! Then nine days later it's my birthday....... a biggie........40!! yikes!! Actually truth be told 40 doesn't bother me, I don't feel it and I don't believe I look it either so that's fine with me!
So that's me, just wanted to say hi and let you know I was still here, I'll be posting my cushions with details of how to make your own over the next few days.
