Favourite Old Jumpers

Yesterday, I decided, in a moment of madness to attempt to sort out the hundreds of Photographs stored in Files and Folders on my poor, nearly full laptop. This led to an interesting discovery, there were photographs of jumpers that I had not seen for ages. Which has now set me on another quest - to do in my spare time, of course - find the boxes that store the missing items. Anyway, here is one of my favourite, old jumpers, knitted by my mum who knows how many years ago! At least 15 I think. It was knitted in Littlewoods Aran yarn - yes, Littlewoods used to have their own yarn.  And here is me, wearing it last year!

Excuse the nerdy stance - but look at all that work!
Still love it, mum - just have to find it!!!

A little bit of Knit Studio news here - I am holding a McMillan Coffee morning tomorrow as part of the World's Biggest Coffee Morning to raise money for this very worthwhile charity. 11.00 to 2.00 ish - there will be coffee, tea, cake, biscuits, a raffle and possibly some knitting.

Hidden Treasure

Look what I found whilst looking for something else! An almost, ready made blanket. I had gone into the loft to search for a lost file of paperwork and discovered these blanket squares. Perfect, all I have to do now is sew the squares together - in my spare time of course. A couple of years ago I sorted all my stash yarn by wieght and began this blanket using only oddments of Rowan Cashsoft Aran which had been left over from previous projects. Then, I obviously forgot about it completely. This has now been added to the growing pile of things that need sewing up - don't you just love doing that? Not.

Also, when I was at my parents last week, mum handed me a bag of these -

Yes, a huge bag of Granny Squares, crocheted in Rowan Cotton Glace (one of my favourite yarns) and all for me. Thank you mum!

But, dear reader, look closely at the second picture and what can you see? Ends, all needing to be woven in....not my favourite job. Indeed, is it anyone's favourite job? and if it is, can you please call me?
