I was suppose to do the draw for the crochet slippers yesterday but I had Internet problems. I plugged the hoover in & it blew the power for the whole house!! It keeps on doing it & there's no pattern so we're not sure how to stop it. Yesterday I used a circuit breaker extension with it but it didn't work. Anyway OH was not at home & I couldn't work out how to get the Internet connected.
I did the draw this morning....sorry no pictures so you'll have to trust me on this.... the batteries in my camera have gone & I don't want to walk to the shop in the rain :( .... It's not been a good weekend for technology!!!
And the winner is..........
MelMel..... congratulations..... I hope your niece likes them & more importantly they fit!!!
I'm now off for a cup of tea & a good look through all my knitting books. An old school friend text to say she had a little girl on boxing day.....4lb 7ozs!! Now that's small.... I should be able to knit a cardigan quite quickly!!! I'm thinking of a basic cardigan with some crocheted flowers..... what do you think???
My brother & sister are both expecting babies in February so I need to start planning their gifts....... that's the problem when you knit...... people expect knitted gifts from you.
I used to sell my knitting & was hoping to start again this year but I don't know if I'll have time!!!
Hope you've all had a good weekend.
Oh wow, thank you.....She will love them....

LUSH Slippers! Lucky MelMel!
ReplyDeleteHi Joe,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your message, hope work is going ok. Thanks for the kind words about the cards I use to stick the corsages on. Not sure about professional but they're not bad! I just print four to one piece of A4 card, chop the card into 4 equal sections then glue on a bit of fancy paper (that's Amy Butler from Hobbycraft/local papercraft shop) then I sew round the edges on the machine with a zigzg stitch. I quite enjoy doing them.
Do hope you can come to the fair. We'll be going from Somerset as it's half term the week of the fair, so I guess it'll be an early start but then we'll prob carry on back home to London afterwards.

Saw your comment on Hen's blog - hope you don't mind me chipping in. I'm in the Exeter area, and am hoping (childcare arrangements permitting) to go to the fair in May. If I do manage to go, would be happy to offer you a lift, if you still need one. Julie
