It's starting to look a lot like Christmas Swap boxes again ...

Hi guys, sorry for the long old time between posts - some clown has fast forwarded the year and just as I'm getting used to August it's suddenly November and Children In Need is nigh.

I really hope you are up for the swap box again because I have already started buying bits for mine - not that I'm getting excited of course.

I've been a busy little bunny, knitting little things to sell and making a block a month patchwork courtesy of Craftsy 

This is my shelf sitting Christmas Robin.  He has plastic beads in his bottom to help him sit nicely and I have had a lot of interest in him, although it backfired a little at my knitting group as they wanted the pattern to knit him themselves, rather than buy one from me!  Hmmm not quite the response I was hoping for, but I've written out the pattern and printed a load off.  I shall sell them instead for slightly less than the finished item  :)

It surprised me, considering that the body of the Robin is only about 4 inches high, that it took four pages to write the pattern up. 


I am also working on Woolly Wormheads hat KAL using this gorgeous yarn from Fyberspates

It is a 4ply BFL, Cashmere and Silk mix and is absolutely scrumptious.
