Welocome to my new blog. Hi the fellow knitaholics my handle is Knitnutt, I'm nuts about knitting as the name implies. I'm totally new to this game and haven't the foggiest idea of what to do so it will just have to be with no piccies as I don't have a digital camera.
I will be posting my thoughts on the progress of my many knitting projects, stash enrichment expeditions eg new additions to my stash mountain, and find out who is Mrs Sally?????
The WIP at the moment is a sweet little matinee coat and bootees with Funky fur trim around hood borders and bootees. No its not for me its for my penpals' preggy friend, Another fave WIP is my Alpaca textured choc brown and coffee coloured squares cardi. I even have a pet Alpaca yarn which I take out of my stash box and stroke it, squeeze it and generally pet it to death cos its so soft and cuddly
I expect you're wondering who is Mrs Sally, well she helps me to knit. Only the other day she grabbed hold of my dusky pink Airedale wool and went beserk under the bed. Ha, ha. Yeah you guessed it Mrs Sally is my very active obligatory knitters cat. Sal was "married" to Mr Chico but he became ill and passed away peacefully in August. We miss him so much, my little boy Chico and Mrs Sally used to do everything together they ate, played and slept onthe bed with their arms around each other. Sweet or wot???
I'm into sock knitting now in a big way. I got into it thanks to the Yarn Harlot in Canada, the famous knitting Author. I find her books really amusing and in fact am reading one of her hilarious books. I've got 3 socks on the go and completed my first pair of socks last month for my beloved young man. We are the best of friends on day we will go out for a meal.
Today I am gonna get stuck in to the bobbly /garter stitch bag cos its nearly finished, I saw it in Simply Knitting mag which is THWE BESTEST knitting mag ever!!! I could not believe it when it first came out I was dying to get a knitting mag I could really enjoy all about the fine art of Knitting and the patterns are outa sight. I think I must have quite a big collection of their patterns in my sleeves. One day I'll get around to knitting them all up.
Hey guess wot??? I've been offered 2 fab knitting jobs. How about that doing my hobby as a job. I am told I can incorporate some of my designs into their patterns, but the salary is crap. So I will persue the other one in Yorkshire which is nearer to home.
must get some shut-eye soon, big day tomorrow. Lots of loverly knitting. YUMMY!!! Goodnight y'all
Yours in stitches Knitnutt
