I finished another escape beanie (beanie boat).



I’ve also got a new book of knitting patterns and a son and husband who want everything knitted yesterday - they are going to have to learn patience!

You're lucky, Elsie Too :) My family all back away slowly going, "Er, I'm OK, thanks," when I offer to knit for them. And I like your hat :)

Looking good Elsie Too.

Thanks for saying that V'rap, I think the only 'person' I'm allowed to knit for is my niece's dog.

Lovely hat Elsie Too!

Lol KK😀
I think this maybe worse..my family as for the knitwear…but then don’t even wear it once.

I don’t fall for that more than once.

Ahhh - too many patterns, too many needles needed, too many different wools…

And the shop in my village doesn’t have any of the needles or wools that I wrote on my list.

Where to start???

I thought the small Christmas tree decorations might be a good place to start because they are small but in reality they are really fiddly!

So maybe I’ll start on the really big knit that’ll take forever but should be simpler.
