Meet the family and me!

Hi,today just a little about me and the family.
watch the video below and have a smile on me.

Where have I been?

Hello,
I am afraid that I havent been posting recently....still knitting though but mostly by hand.
Knitting machines have been packed up. I havent been able to sell them as postage from here in Tenerife is too expensive.

Last year Martin, my husband had a triple by pass so things have been a bit awkward here to say the least.

Fortunately he has now made a miraculous recovery.

In the meantime I have been busy developing my online business.
Take a look if you have a moment.

and tell me what you think of it.

I have been busy handknitting baby clothes. I have some fab french patterns which I translate aswell as some Spanish ones too.

How is your stash?

I am in the process of sorting out my stash of yarns and I just wondered if mine is worse than anyone elses?

I have the double wardrobe full of complete packets of wool and the shelves and floor with loads of half used cones of wool.

Is this a bit obsessive?

Or are there others out there with similar stashes?

I am in the process of sewing up various projects which were knitted but not made up so that I can get to the ironing board once again. (photos to follow) and I have promised myself never to move on to the next project again before I have completely finished the last one.

The last of the mohicans

And here is the finished article.

The first of the Mohicans!

It has been a very creative day!! My nephews and niece told me about a mohican hat that they really wanted. They had seen Martin Gore of Depeche Mode wearing one on tour. Well I didn't know what the hell they were talking about but after a bit of research and a bit of fiddling I came up with the finished article this evening..all done in a day and ready to take orders!! So I have 3 to make already for the family!

Martin seen modelling it here for me, loves it and so do I ! It has a kind of gladiator, centurian feel to it aswell as the mohawk, of course!

Something really different to wear instead of a bobble hat in the cold weather this year and definitely will get you noticed!!

It only took about 300 gramms of wool in the main colour and I made it on the chunky machine.

Slowest part was putting the mohawk on, rather time consuming but I am going to dry a different method for the next ones.

All for now.
