...is finished! Whoop!
Have started making ladybirds now...made up a random pattern while watching 'Gavin & Stacey' the other night, found some (reasonably) cheap brooch backs and am trying to find them homes now :)

New month, new blog
I've decided to keep my ramblings separate from my craftiness and I'm hoping that this is going to inspire me to actually finish some of the UFOs I have on the go which to date are...
1 - Yoga mat bag...maximum of 5 rows left and the carry cord but I can't be arsed. (Crochet)
2 - Jumper...realised when my new Denise needles arrived that there is a big difference in size between UK 10s and US 10s! It would fit but I don't think it'll look right! Pity the poor wool, this is its third incantation and it's going to be frogged very soon! (Knit)
3 - A family of weird shape things based on Mochimochi Blog's grass pattern...they're supposed to be felted but unfortunately, felting doesn't like me much so I've settled with really teeny tiny needles so they end up small with tight stitches to stop the stuffing coming through. (Knit)
4 - I also need to start something for my nonGodson's birthday in July...I have the pattern but I can't really afford the wool yet...might have to raid the piggy bank for that one!
I'm not just sitting around doing nothing though, my mother and I are making crochet blankets for charity which are being sent out to orphanages in Africa. 5 of mine and 3 of hers have gone already and we're constantly needing spare odds and ends of wool which ur neighbours and friends are supplying us with quite nicely!
Ah well, time to switch off the computer and pick up some needles methinks!
