Knitted house......

wow how fast has my week gone????

I can't believe it's Thursday already...... only 3 days left, I plan to have a very lazy day tomorrow as I'm going racing at Ascot on Saturday with a friend. The train leaves Exeter at 6am & we return at 9.30pm!!!! Now that's a long day.....her sister made an error with the train booking but hey it's done now. I've also found out I have to dress smart..... I only wear jeans outside of work so I may have to go shopping tomorrow or it'll be my work clothes!!!


I haven't done much this week because I haven't been sleeping well so during the day I've been napping & not doing very much.


I made this on Monday......



I did say how much I liked the house in the Kirstie Allsop show so I had to make myself one.




I've put rice in the base to make it into a door stop but I think it looks cute on my plant stand.

Damn wires...... they keep coming away from the wall!!!!



I saw this on this website you can buy the kit for £15, it's the lady who featured in the show last week but I'm sure this house looks different. What do you think???



I also finished these....






I started them last week but I lost one of the needles so I had to make do..... to be honest I got fed up with making them!!! They are now on the way to their new owner.



I also got around to making my PIF gift & posting it off to Louise....





I'll be back tomorrow with an award from Sarah.

Have a good day.......

  2. Oh no, more Kirstie for me to miss! (No UK TV in our house, even though we could get it on cable if we wanted - we're a) too stingey and b) too purist about the whole French experience.)

    So anyway, that house looks great and I have never seen anything like it before!

  3. Oooh, I love the house, you super mega clever thing you. Just checked out the website, I do like the knitted letters. Am tempted to get a HenHouse one but it would probably bankrupt me!
    Just picked up an American crochet mag in WH Smiths. It is really good. Will try to post about it soon.
    Have fun at the races. My sister and her hubby are bookies, not sure if they'll be there, though they do go to Ascot. Their pitch is "Pinno" just in case.

  6. What a gorgeous little house - really cute. Wish I was a faster knitter, but it just goes too slow for me. Maybe I should crochet one. Hope Ascot is great fun. x

  8. Enjoy your trip to Ascot!

    Your knitted house is fabulous. I'm hoping to sit down with my mum this weekend and get some proper lessons in so I can start making something!
