I've been working very hard

And I've finally finished this ...





It's a Sirdar pattern and takes blooming ages.  Mind you once I'd got the hang of the pattern I was able to speed up considerably.  The edging was knitted separately and I sewed it on as I went.  168 inches of edging that took.  The customer is very happy with it, thank goodness.

Now what about this?  This is a WhirlyGig Bug painted onto a snail shell by my incredibly clever daughter.  Luckily the shell is currently unoccupied, especially as I managed to drop it into the pot of varnish so it is now varnished inside and out.

I've got various projects on the go now, including the innumerable UFOs stashed around the house.

Busy, busy, busy

    Dear Claire,
    Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Your blanket is beautiful and must have been a lot of hard work. I will read back through your blog as I'd like to see more of your knitting, especially if you knit fair isle tank tops!
