Stitching on.....

Well, my wrist is all strapped up and my thumb is pretty much immobilised.

Hopefully this is just a repetitive strain!   

Sew time for a change of craft...

 Stitching is difficult, but doable!

I'm taking it slow, I have a whole month before I have to have this finished for gifting. 

No news...

Well, after a week off my wrist and forearm were feeling a little better.
So on Saturday I worked a couple of rows on my blanket. On Sunday I was very sore again. 😥
So I spent some time on Sunday pottering and tidying in my room.  No projects were started, continued or finished. Instead I sorted my yarn cupboard and set aside some that I know I'll never use, and put a few things together for possible future projects.
I also looked at a few ideas for a birthday gift for a friend, maybe on my days off work.  And because there has to be a picture...

I think someone was cold. 

I hope you're crafting more than me. 

I think I need a rest now!!

I finished a third poncho the other day. Here it is all pinned out on the ironing board ready for a little steam to block it. The garter stitch edge always comes out a little shorter than the stocking stitch body, so blocking is necessary.

And a close up peep at the colour changes.

I have really enjoyed working with these pretty yarns.

So much so in fact that when I noticed a local store was having a buy one get one free deal, I couldn't resist. These yarns are from a different manufacturer and I have no idea what I'll do with them, but had to have them anyway! LOL

But as the heading says, I think I need a rest now. When I picked up my crochet yesterday I noticed a pain in my left fore arm. It's still there this morning.

So maybe no knitting or crochet for a while.

Maybe this is what it takes to get me back at my sewing machine?

Time to get ready for work.

Still busy, but still knitting.

Life is still pretty busy, with lots of goings on. But I am still finding down time and still knitting away.

I finished the tiny little baby poncho on Friday and went out yesterday to buy buttons for it as I didn't have any that were just right in my big jar!

 While I was in the store I also found just the right buttons for the next project. Poncho number 3 in Neapolitan ice cream colours.  Doesn't it look good enough to eat?

This one is for a special little girl who has come into our lives. I'll tell you more about her another day. The store was busy while I was there and I had to wait my turn! While I was waiting I spied this pattern on the shelf and just had to have it. LOL

Sadly there wasn't any of that black and charcoal wool available, so I opted for blue instead. Floki will be getting another wee Nanny knit!

Debbie happend to be nearby and spied me going into the store, all the time I was in there my phone was plinging away as she asked me what I was up to and what I was buying. LOL

We're getting together for lunch today, so I can confess! LOL

Time to go and be domestic, before I go meet the girls.
