Remember my 2nd last post when I was thanking my regular commentors? I knew I would forget someone Sorry Miss Claire she is a sweetie that has been commenting regularly lately and is one talented young lady Go say hi.
And now for what I was doing during the shhh its silent time while kids are away,Yes granny did play
I knitted (and unpicked and re-knitted grr) and blocked my cuffs for my soon to be online shop (with only some small Master 2 interruptions)I hope they sell.

| See the difference in unblocked and blocked? |
I also finished of orders for the gremlins(why would I think I would only have to make one of anything?)
Miss 10 saw these fingerless mittens awhile ago so I made her a pair
then Master 6 wanted some then LL wanted some then Miss 4.5 wanted to know why she didnt have any so now all have been done till Miss 8 comes and asks and chooses her wool I know she will as she hates missing out on anything as siblings do

ooooh I like the cuffs. I have knitted some bows, to wear as hair clips (LJ took them home), and some larger bows as brooches or on a kilt pin to attach to a winter scarf. Also, a couple of mohair 'flower' brooches... I'll do some photos tomorrow and post on my blog.♥
well done you for being so productive.
I cuddled cheetahs and cleaned and loaded heaps of new items into the store and took four huge bags of stuff to Vinnies and went on an easter egg hunt with a unicorn... of course!
Those cuffs are FAB Nelly! I just adore them - could you please show us some pics of someone modelling them? The blocking really makes a huge difference, doesn't it?

Oh YAY, well done on the tripod, it's far better than mine, trust me you won't know yourself with it. How is your website setup going? Are you doing it yourself??
Aww nelly your words are lovely, thank you. The cuffs look great, i'd love to see them modeled too! Nice work on the fingerless gloves too, I might try to make myself a pair (I'm soooo crap at knitting though. I can do about straight lines before I make a mistake that I don't know how to fix!)
That bedspread is lovely, but that price is insane! I bet you could make a similar one yourself, you crafty gal!
Xx Claire
@Misfits Vintage I saw your post how wonderful I will have some cuffs modelled soon am just finishing off some other colours
@Kitty

@Miss Claire Move/visit up hera I will help you knit I want to make some velvet patchwork soon
Hi Nelly, the cuffs are great.I hope that they do sell well for you. Good luck with the online selling, Tam x
You are a talented lady! I love that bedspread. I'm not surprised it sold for that price, the amount of work that goes into patchwork is insane, making my curtains nearly killed me. xxx
Happy Easter Nelly! I've been away visiting family and have managed to do nothing productive despite taking a bag of yarn and crochet hooks, so well done on all your crafty endeavours. I love Miss 4.5's gloves - such a cute picture.
That bedspread is fabulous, shame it went beyond your budget. My poor patchwork bedcover is on its last legs thanks to the kids, but I did just get myself a Welsh blanket while I was away.
@Vintage Vixen VV wonderful to see you back
@Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]
