Annette likes to pick up my knitting or yarn and say that she’s “knitting”. Today I decided to take a picture… Looks like she’s got the knitting pose perfected, just look at that… feet up, knitting on her lap, needles in hands, eyes intent on the knitting. Awww… I hope to teach her to knit some day. She’ll have to get her own stash, though.
That’s the beginning of the back piece for Jess, for my mum. Haven’t finished Buttercup yet (I’m up to the sleeves now), but I’ve been itching to start on Jess and just couldn’t fight the startitis. There are so many things that I want to start! I’ve signed up for sew? I knit!, with the quilted theme. I’ve been wanting to start sewing for ages, and perhaps signing up to this sew-along will give me the push that I need. I’m thinking of making quilted bags, perhaps a knitting bag for me, and a quilted backpack for Annette. And I also want to knit some hats for my nephews. And then last Saturday I went to Tapestry Craft to get circulars for making Jess, and I somehow left with not only needles, but also a ball of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino. I’m thinking of making Fetching from Knitty. Oh wait. No, I’m not thinking about making Fetching, I’ve already started.
And on the way home, I passed by Lincraft, and walked out with these:
Ribbons, lace, twill tape, and braided cord. Might come in handy for the bag making.
