Good luck, forever! I finally finished a jumper for Sam that has been on the needles for years... Maybe 8 years? I really can't remember when I started it. Now I just need to block it, so who knows, it could be ready for him to wear any time between now and his 40th birthday (just over two years away). Since the kittens took over the craftorium I don't really have anywhere to leave blocking to dry safely, so I have to figure that out first. I could maybe use the dining table, I guess. |

LouiseRuns 🌹🇬🇧 🇪🇺, here's a pot holder I made a while back, managed to make a matching one recently I also made some light pulls for my mother-out-law, as she had just tied a piece of string to lengthen the existing light pull, and used up some old wooden buttons/toggles as decoration. No pic of those though. |

Dining table blocking may be the way forward Blue jumper is the one I finished yesterday for Sam, greeny brown thing is an experimental wrap cardi thing I found on Pinterest. There's supposed to be one dropped stitch between each cabley bit, but I got muddled at one of the arm holes and ended up with two next to each other for the last section... I hope it'll probably still look on when it's on. |

Wow, nice work Rae! I love the idea that your craft space has been taken over by kittens. My neighbour's cat is regularly to be found asleep in my craft space.

I've only recently been allowed to knit by the boys - Ozzy keeps "checking" the yarn. Dio is less interested but Ozzy definitely supervises

Luckily the kittens aren't that interested in the yarn when I knit - though Miso has been entranced by the ends of the needles moving when I use straight ones. When they first got here the craftorium was the room we shut them in as their safe space while they settled in. There aren't many other rooms we could easily give them, so sadly I lost the floor space where I used to lay out the blocking mats. We're planning to combine Sam's home office back into the craftorium and turn that room back into a guest, so then I'll have a spare double bed most of the time that I can use. |
