What I was doing while the tribe was away......

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.

Blocked and unblocked and red ones all done

Close up of blocked cuff

See the difference in unblocked and blocked?

Prior to starting to make these cuffs a while back I had never blocked knitting before thanks MR Google for your help.


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
