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
