Humble beginnings

I've always been into crafts and done knitting (still proudly remember my first scarf with the lovely giant hole in the middle - I did that!) rug-making, sewing, making woollen pom-poms, painting stones, picture framing, willow sculptures etc.

We've now got a fantastic shop (Sweet Ginger Emporium) down the road that does courses, and I've learnt some quilting with them. I thought now was a good time to keep a record of what I'm doing, what I've done and I'll be able to see improvements and keep an eye on the new stuff I learn as well!

Considering all that, I'm not in the least bit artisitic!

Christmas knittings 2012

I can't believe that it's been October since I last posted!  But I have been doing stuff, honest!  Afterall, that's why I've been so slack on here!

Here's some pics of the Christmas presents I did for friends and family....some are self-explanatory and some have a little story behind them.  All these patterns are from Ravelry.com
