And a bauble wreath that needs finishing, and a couple of crochet animals.

Also considering a wedding shawl in case it’s chilly (June, who knows?!)

Suffice to say I did not go to the knitting and stitching show this weekend as I really don’t need any more stuff!

😮 that’ll keep you busy over the cold dark winter!

I’m finishing a blanket …. The one I started before I went to mum's and started a new one 😂

I’ve just ordered a frame for my Harry Potter cross stitch so that will be next from the WIP pile.

Then I need to finish the blanket I started at mum’s! But I will need more yarn or, more likely, finish with random yarn! I’m always doing mixed colour blankets to finish off yarn 😂

Then there is the jumper I’ve been talking about!

Good job it’s knitting time of year and I now have all the time!

I’m part way through a jumper, have done most of the body (bottom up) and a battling the arms. But have also committed to a KAL jumper starting on 1st December.
I’ve never had 2 projects on the go together before but it was only a matter of time!

Thank you everyone xx

I've just ordered the yarn to start thus next, though having paid for the pattern I discover that it's a mess and will need to rewrite it

🤬 that frustrates me so much. I don’t mind paying for patterns - and totally agree that someone should receive payment for their work - but having done so expect it to be usable…

That sounds like a nightmare HB. That's not a cheap pattern either...so if it's not fit for purpose, it's a bit of a ripoff.

Possibly stupid question

Two different yarns I bought from hobbycraft …. On the website it says click and collect only but my local store doesn’t have any so would you assume that means they don’t have it full stop?

No, if you click and collect at Hobbycraft they send it from wherever it is (warehouse?) to your nominated store.
