Northwood Farm
Saturday, February 22, 2014 Posted In 2014 Finishes Edit This 0 Comments »A John Clayton design from Heritage crafts. Really loved working on this and it took no time at all really. Wish there were more designs like this about, it's suits my taste perfectly. Will definitely keep this for myself!

A new piece for me, but not actually an UFO, just my current WIP - really enjoying this! It's called Northwood Farm (John Clayton- Heritage crafts).

2013 Round up
Sunday, January 05, 2014 Posted In 2013 Finishes Edit This 0 Comments »
The end of 2013 flew by, but I did get some stuff done, and here it is:
Hard to make out, but a knitted set of wrist warmers and a "neck tube". Long overdue birthday pressie for my friend May Kristin (that neck thing was a lot more work than I thought it would be...). Feast your eyes on the crocheted edges of the wrist warmers, never been able to do crocheting before, so especially happy about that. Finished 20th Dec 2013
My little Christmas finish this year. A small Permin kit I picked up in Denmark this autumn. Finished 28th Dec 2013
My special scarf/necklace thingie. It's called something difficult in Japanese that sounds like Sudoku, so that's what I usually call it. Apparently it means worm. A lot of knitting back and forth (which was a bit annoying in the end), but it turned out quite fun and different. Love the wool. Finished 30th Dec 2013
A wooly hat for my granddads 89th birthday in January. My first attempt at knitting pattern, but turned out quite well I thought :). Finished 31st Dec 2013
I have also knitted about a hundred (well, OK 10-15) wash cloths and a wooly hat for my dad (finished 9th Oct for Norwegian Father's day), but no pic of those yet - I'll see if I can get them done.
A fairly slow year, but must say I have finished a couple of whoppers stitching wise, and as you see - way into the knitting by the end of it too! Never thought that would happen. Also finally cracked the crocheting code, so have a fair few granny squares and more will come.
Now for a new year and new challenges and crafty joys! Join me?
Christmas ornie exchange
Friday, December 27, 2013 Posted In 2013 Finishes Edit This 0 Comments »
Joined the ornie exchange on ACN this year, and this is what my lovely partner Colly sent me:
I've been wanting the Fa la la ornie from LHN for ages, so very pleased.
Found these tiny sleds on Silver needle and thought they were adorable. The design is by Foxwood Crossings. I actually made four of these this year - as well as the one for Sarah I did one for my parents, one for my niece and one for a non-stitchy friend. Forgot to take a photo of the rest (one exactly the same as this and two other designs). Finished all four by 15th Dec 2013
This is what I made for Sarah:

Just a quick UFO this week, and not my own. A friend did a mistake on this years ago and when I heard I earlier this autumn I said I would frog, fix and finish it for her. As you can see by the dates it's long overdue, the kid is pretty big now, but I'm sure hjs mum will appreciate it. As you can see there wasn't that much to it, so got it done one setting.

By Ink Circles.
Finally this is done. This has been a right nightmare to do, but I stuck in there and got it done in the end, couldn't have done it without support from my UFO friends on ACN. Stitched over one on 40 count Irish linen with the Monet Painter's thread.
Finished 27th October 2013

Dasoku scarf for UFO night
Blackwork Chessboard
Sunday, September 15, 2013 Posted In 2013 Finishes Edit This 2 Comments »This design (or most if it) was in one of the mags, and I've been meaning to stitch it for a few years - even bought the pieces to go with it when I was in China three years ago. Have modified it a fair bit, and now I have finally finished it - with a little "help from my friends" aka support from fellow UFO night stitchers on ACN. Will try to finish it as the table top of a folding table when I work out how, or find a table that fits.
