Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Although it doesn’t look very nice here.  Naughty naughty weather.  All grey and yukky.  Oh well can’t do anything about it so moaning only makes me miserable!  Not got any washing to get on the line so no bother.  Loads of clearing away of things today in preparation for His Royal Loveliness’s arrival (My Dad to those not in the know!) so if I don’t get on here a bit later today I probably won’t be on til Tuesday night - Tony will be here Saturday morning unless he’s working and I can get a sneaky peek in (!) then mum and arriving Saturday lunchtime and going home Sunday night but it’s Bank Holiday weekend this weekend isn’t it so Tony not back at work til Tuesday night… So probably no Forum for me til Tuesday

Love to all

Good morning from me, just having my grapefruit, before heading off to the station and work.  Thankgoodness it’s a bank holiday and I won’t have to set the alarm clock for the next 3 nights.  Was bright and sunny first thing, but it’s clouding up now.  Talk to you all soon

Good morning,has been raining and looks like more rain,going shopping today and then i am having a lazy day for the day knitting.Have a nice day.

Morning all. It was pouring when I got up but it’s stopped for the moment. Wow, You were up and about early Leigh. Hope you have a good time with your Dad.

GOOD MORNING ALL.....

Lots of shopping this morning then going nowhere ‘till Tuesday. I never go Bank Holiday if I can help it.!

Early bird this morning, Leigh??!!!!!. Have a good time with the relatives.
Rain is forcast for us by 10.00 so better get a wiggle on.........

TAKE CARE OUT THERE....!!!  

nice day here in carlisle,not doing much today except running about after our new puppy,and my grandson who is getting toilet trained he is only 18 month,so between pup and him i think i will be doing a lot of cleaning,you never know might get some knitting done in between have a gud day.

Morning everyone....was going to come on when I got up at 7.30am but thought I would get on and get everything done here in the house first.  It’s fatal if I come on first.  The weather here is quite pleasant but more of a wee chill in the air now...autumn is here...some of the leaves are falling from the trees across the road and the nights are drawing in a bit...LOVELY KNITTING WEATHER.  Not much more to do in the house this morning so I might get the baby cardi that I’m doing in Snuggly Bubbly finished.  It looks nice but OH I really don’t like knitting with it...so the sooner it’s finished the better then I can think of what’s next.  When I was in Holland my DIL chose some patterns that I had taken over...so it will be one of them probably...and a visit to Sue’s shop for wool for it.
We shall just see what the rest of the day brings forth ladies… ...we sometiime visit Bill’s aunt on a Friday night and his other aunt will be there too....so that is when I catch up with all the town gossip (that I miss being a home lover who knits and doesn’t go out much) ...or that is what the aunts usually say to me.  The both of them together are better than our local newspaper when they get started.
Have a lovely day ladies whatever you are all doing and I’ll catch up with you later...happy knitting!!!!!

Hello all, the rain’s just come on.... sigh…
What is it with this month? It must be a nightmare for farmers trying to get their crops in. I’m off to the dental hygenist later ( I have such an exciting life )
hope you all enjoy a dry bank holiday, it isn’t a public holiday in Scotland on monday, some banks may be closed , but its not a holiday!

Afternoon. Weather actually fine today, wind blowing so line is full. Kids outside cleaning the guineas & rabbit so I`m having a bit of piece & quiet. Apart from that nothing exciting has happened! Oh made an ipod cover out of one of the mags for my daughter, sewed it all together this morning & have got do one for my son, once I`ve done his I`ll post a picture up.

Hi all, well I’ve been cleaning like a demented demon - twins = more than double the finger prints, sticky marks, blobs and things all over the place.  I love them to bits, but cos I’m seriously unhinged once they are gone I am a woman possessed and have to have a serious clean up!  However, will be travelling up to their house in 10 days for the first couple of days in September; their last couple of days off before school starts.  When I’m in someone else’s house its so much easier - I’m not freaky then!
However, did manage to knit one tiny innocent hat last night - hoping to get a few more done tonight.
Weather is rather nice here actually - how annoying, yesterday and today would have been perfect days for the kids!  Oh well, back to cleaning!
Chat later, sending a hug.

Hello all

Sorry I wasn’t on yesterday.  Not only have I got the lurgy but I went along with my mum to take the kids to the indoor soft play centre because my brother wasn’t well enough and I didn’t want mum being stuck with 2 kids on her own!  Went back to mum and dad’s in the afternoon so I could try and get some rest while the kids played downstairs - no such luck!  Asked my brother, who was feeling better, to do some crafting with the kids so I could go and have a nap.  I’d brought tons of stuff.  I ended up doing most of the crafting with them cuz my brother was too busy colouring in a picture of a fish in Eve’s colouring book!!!  Bloody men!  Eventually I went up for a lay down and Aston came with me but wouldn’t settle so he ended up downstairs with my mum while my brother, my dad and Eve took the dogs out for a walk.  Apparently, Kiwi did a runner and hid under the car while they were out and wouldn’t come when she was called.

Think I probably got about 45 mins sleep in total!  Great!  Had fish and chips for tea - although not PROPER fish and chips cuz my brother decided to have food delivered from the local kebab house! So the chips were soggy and flavourless and the fish was of the ‘out of a box’ variety but tasted ok.  Not a particularly appealing meal.

On the positive side, I passed my audition for Sheppey Singers on Wednesday so I’m now a fully fledged member!  I also won a little bottle of wine in the raffle!   We shall just see if I have any voice by next Wednesday!  I also got my flex-fit gloves through the post today which should help my carpal tunnel syndrome.  Got them on now and so far so good!  Only got the black pair - the skin coloured pair are coming soon.

Well, gonna go make me something to eat now and a sarnie for Aston.  Will try and finish off my 2nd sock for Aston later although I think I’ve cocked it up already!  It’s my olympic project so it’s got to be finished by Sunday! Gah!

Blooming cheek.  I do sometimes get up early.  Just cos I choose not to annoy you all early. 
Sometimes there’s no pleasing some people…
I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t…

Oh well I better get on with all the jobs I gotta do to get the house ready!  Just having a tea break!

It was brilliant earlier.  I stood back at the door of the guest room… admiring my work.... thought about Dads bottle of brandy in the wardrobe for his nip before bed…

Opened the door and a bin bag, craft bag and carrier bag full of wool fell on me.  I’d forgot it was in there....  Gotta find somewhere else to hide it now…
