lozza tis snowing!

Needle felting

Firstly we have the obligatory snow picture! The children are really enjoying the snow. We bought a sledge last week when it first snowed thinking that it wouldn't get much use, but it has turned into the must have item for each of my children. Even hubby has had a go. I might be brave and lurch myself down the mountain on it tomorrow. I'll be asking for rain in my bedtime prayer tonight :)

The second pic is of my first attempt at needle felting. Such fun! I can see myself taking it to the hospital with me to while away the hours.

Custom pics

A busy time here. Cassie is on her pre operation meds, she seems to be ok on them, if a little sicky. We are still fattening her up, so that she has plenty in reserve for her recovery. The operation is still on track for the second week of January.

A sprinkling of snow on the ground outside. As you can imagine the children are willing a full covering of snow by the morning. I love snow even though I, without fail, fall on my ample behind whenever I venture out into it!

The photographs are of a recent collaboration with Neelam, for Buy British Month.

The green/brown/cream is a colourway called Cassie Coo on Organic Merino Aran base. The finished longies are for Carolyn's little girl Poppy.

The second photograph pink/damson/green is of a colourway called Laurenella also on Organic Merno Aran base. These have been sent to their new home with Laymon.

Soaker pattern testers wanted

5 testers needed to test knit or crochet one or more of my current patterns. I have tweaked the base soaker and lallypants soaker in particular.
I would also like some feedback on my waffley good soaker either from those who have made the latest version or from someone making it for the first time.
I will require all participants to add the knit/crochet to their ravelry projects page and convey their thoughts to me via my ravelry group.
As a thankyou all finished projects will be entered into a draw, the winning one shall receive 100g skein of hand dyed dk or aran, bfl or merino.
You will get 1 entry for each finished project.
Any questions? Mich x.
