Days 18, 19, 20

Day 18.
Oh dear - I have lapsed again!!!!   Back at work.   Started knitting a scarf for my Crochet Buddie, Amie, today.  I did it on the bus.  It was   with some fancy wool. Gave up half way to work as I dropped a stitch.  The problem being - I hear you say.  Well the problem was there were only two stitches on the flippin' needle and the whole thing started to unravel!!!!
Still I did manage to finish it at home!  

I enjoyed it so much that I made another one for my bezzie mate, Lesley.

ADVENT present:

These lovely little Christmas pegs.   Will defo use them next year!

DAY 19:

Busy doing a mug rug and mug hug for DS2's girlfriend's dad!    It's in the form of a backgammon board.   Really struggling with the changing colours.   Still it's coming along.   Pics later!

ADVENT:

Just look at these fabulous plasters!

Couldn't turn the pic round for some reason.   Still I think you get the gist.

DAY 20.

Busy day at work - billing!   So knackered I had a glass of wine.    Totally unheard of for me!   Finished off a flannel for DS2's girlfriend's mum!

I even made a little box for it to go in.   There was also a bar of soap!

ADVENT:

Roundabout Jelly - apples found on a roundabout apparently!!!!

Tastes yummy!

One thing left to say - VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MILLA - 13 TODAY!  Can't believe my granddaughter is 13! Tempus fugit and all that!!!!

She is apparently going into town with her mummy and daddy for a surprise!   I told her it was an audience with Justin Beiber and she went "URGGGGG!  I'd walk out!"     The weather is absolutely diabolical here today, the wind is very windy so I hope the surprise is indoors.  She was told to dress up!!!!

Well I think that will be all for today - just so as I don't bore you all too much.

Thanks for stopping by!

What have we got today....

Thought you might like to see a shrug I made for Milla.    It was done in black cotton and knitted sideways.  The lacey bit was put on afterwards.  Have to say it was damn hard work.   This is Milla doing her modeling bit.  Lol.

These scarves I have made over the last year or so.....  the red one is a collar scarf and knitted with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Arun (I think!), the white one is made from Rico Can Can and it's about a mile long - only kidding - but it is long!   The pink and cream is also knitted in Debbie Bliss cashmerino DK as is the beige one.  The pink and cream one I knitted for another friend called Lesley and the beige one for my mate Jo at the Big Bead Boutique.    The orange one is a snood which again is very large (and very snuggly).  This is knitted with Rowan Kid Classic.   Milla has one in a goldeny yellow colour.     As you can see I went through a phase of knitting scarves.   I have actually started crocheting them!!!   Girl can't have enough scarves.   I may tell you one day how many I actually do have.   Imelda Marcos did shoes, I do scarves !!!!!    I actually do have one of every conceivable colour except green !    I think I will take a photo of them all in a heap one day!
Okay I think that's enough now cos I have actually nearly deleted the whole bloomin' post.   Good job it asks you that final question!
Thank you for stopping by -
