Catch-up

Helloooooo.
I am sad to say, that I haven't done much knitting recently :(
I went away for the weekend to see my boyfriend, and it was hectic.
But I did manage to finish the flamingo off before I left, so here it is:

Flamingo

I started another project today :)

I found an adorable pattern over on Spud and Chloe last night, and I just knew I had to knit it up.

It's a naff photo I know, but I've got most of the body done using Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky in Rosy Cheeks.  I love this yarn :) 

Tomorrow I'm *hopefully* buying some smelly stuff to put inside the body along with some stuffing stuffy stuff.

I'm also working on an embroidery piece atm, so the knitting is on a slight halt.

Its a love/hate situation?

I tried posting this yesterday, but my internet was playing up and I couldn't get on here.

I finished knitting the slippers, but I haven't yet sewn them up.

I also started on some gloves/mittens, using my own pattern (making it up as I go along).

I'm not very happy at the moment with how they're turning out.  They're a teeny tiny bit on the small side (I can squeeze it on, but no one wants to squeeze their hand into a glove(?)) and the shaping is slightly out.  I don't know whether to carry on or frog it and start again?  I'll leave it for now and  probably come back to it in a few weeks.  Just need to whip up another present instead in the next few days.

It's been an unproductive day

I wanted to get these slippers finished I was knitting so I can start on some gloves (as well as finish off some embroidery) but I've had a bit of a do nothing afternoon :(
Maybe I'll give them five minutes once I'm in bed

Photo as promised

Yesterday I bought some Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky :)

Bleh....

Its been a long day, with too much work.  I got a little knitting done over lunch, but not as much as I would like.  I seem to be leaving the important projects till the last minute.  I'll post pics tomorrow of the slippers I started today, far too tired to do it now.

Knit-a-thon

I spent all of today knitting the other glove for my mum.  There's nothing more relaxing than spending a whole day knitting :)

I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out, and the colours are lovely.  They are not my normal style, but I like them quite a lot.  With it being so cold today, I half wished I'd knit them for myself!

I have also worked a little on my valentines project, the Winged Heart Tattoo, and now have both sides for the heart.  I decided today that I will in fact include the felted wings, so bought myself some Wash + Filz-it! wool.  They didn't have a white or cream colour, so I decided on a pastel turquoise colour, which I think will look quite nice.
