Yesterday was good too. It was such a pleasure to get back in the pool after quite a long break and I could feel my mood lift. It stayed up all day which suited me fine.
I knitted and stitched up and stuffed and generally sorted out all the current projects so now I have a blue bear and a yellow bear and Mrs Frost and a Snow Mouse.
I enjoyed knitting the snow mouse but the construction instructions are not as clear as Jean Greenhowe's instructions are and I had to make some sensible guesses. It worked out OK though and now I have started one of the carol singer mice.
Then, in the evening, Beth popped round for a chat which was lovely.
Today is quite busy which is why sleeping in this morning was not such a Good Idea. I have a little time now but then Knitter Knatter Club starts for the term so I will need to get there. Then it's my stint with Foundation Stage followed by tuition. It's just as well I planned so much last week that I have everything I need for this week too.
So I will stop nattering now and get everything sorted and ready to avoid rushing later on. Have a good day, everyone.
The figures are all lovely, Joy, you've got so much talent and patience. I can't knit to save my life....I can crochet, as you know, but simply don't have the patience to do small, fiddly things - I stick to blankets!
ReplyDeleteBlankets are too big for me and I admire you your patience. :-D

I love the blue and yellow bears!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I did think I might do a rainbow of bears as I have so, so much yarn going spare.

They are all adorable, but I especially love the mouse! Beautiful work. I admire your determination to swim. I had joined a water aerobics class last year, but between the 20 minute drive each way and the bother of clothes changing and going out in the cold weather, I gave it up. I'm not lazy, but I do hate to exercise.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy swimming although I'm not all that good at it. It's partly getting back in the habit and partly making the time. Thanks for the lovely comment about the snow-mouse.

I just love those teddy bears - I might consider doing one for my granddaughters if they are not too difficult - my knitting skills are limited!
ReplyDeleteThey're not very difficult although shaping the head made my ands ache a bit at one point. Definitely worth giving it a go, I think.
