Oh dear

Well I never intended leaving this blog for so long - shame on me! Reached a bit of a standstill with the Nile and the knitting. I have run out of another of the threads for the Nile and the shaping of the jumper and working out the pattern is a little tricky - tried working it out twice and got two different results so need to try again :-(
So I have started this kit - something fairly straightforward that I can do at sewing group and still chat!!! I bought this from one of the shows from the Cross-stitch Guild. Going well so far and hope to make good progress this week - watch this space.

Can you tell what it is yet?

Here is some knitting I have been doing - all knitting done just needs putting together. The two oblong pieces need felting - at 30 degrees according to the instructions but it does not seem to have worked so I will need to wash them again at a higher temperature. The wool used for those pieces is quite thick (done on old size 0) and is bobbly but incredibly soft.
Hopefully a post coming soon of the completed articles(s).
