at last I've cracked it.....

knitting socks that is, 2 together on a circular needle and I do in fact think I'm hooked.

I have been drooling over the fine socks created by the amazing Jane over at yarnstorm and struggled with trying to crack the mystery of tiny little dpns, thrown the wool across the room on several occassions and vowed never again and to admire from afar......then the wonderful Sandra at Beckside yarns let me into a magical secret of socks on a circular needle knitted from the toe up.....and there you have it, although I haven't braced the heel yet that's lesson 2!

I've also finished a couple of these cute tank tops and a pom pom beret. The striped one is in Rowan's Purelife organic cotton and it is delicious to knit with. In fact I indulged in a couple more balls to knit a little cardy which hopefully will make an appearance later.

and finally my pic of the week

 

 a picture for the nursery (which is almost there....) my favouritest story ever, princess and the pea. I am hoping that Lily-Rose will be a fan as the boys were never too keen + I've started ready my top ten tales to the bump just to get a head start....I do admit that I borrowed the idea for the image from this fantastic site Hiya Kids but stitched it in my own style and I can say that I will definately be buying various items from the site its fab.

So projects on the go are....

taggy comfort chicken/ cloth dolls/dolly peg dolls

felt vegetables/dolly peg soilders for my nephew

various knitting projects for when my back is just too much

and of course the nursery...I promise promise pictures soon. Rx
