WIP Wednesday #7

Wednesday again!

I've made good progress on both my baby projects. The blanket is progressing nicely (if a little slowly) and the cardigan is nearly finished. I'm alternating between them both because i'm not really enjoying knitting with the Tiny Tots wool for the cardigan. It's not as nice as you would hope for baby wool.

But this blanket is LOVELY.

I really want to join in the one a day Knit along run by Carole at gingerbreadgirl and make a lovely granny ripple blanket but term starts again on Monday and the dyslexia course I mentioned a while back is going to keep me more than busy for the next few months. :( 

I have 3 2000 word essays to write which, although I know I cant spend everyday writing, is playing on my mind already and making me feel guilty for doing 'unimportant' stuff like knitting and crocheting. :( sad face. You know that guilt you get when you know you really should be doing something else.

So any other big projects will just have to wait til after Easter when the course is done.

Am also getting some negative vibes about the whole secret wedding which I should have expected but it's still a bit rotten (it was MY day afterall!) so feeling quite negative today. Sorry lovely blog peeps.

Dont forget to pop over to tamisamis to see some more WIPs.

WIP Wednesday #6

Hooray, it's Wednesday again. And I have some WIPs to post about. :)

I havent made much progress on the pink baby cardigan I'm knitting. I've been a little busy with getting married and honeymooning. I've had an amzing few weeks. :) Scroll down if you havent seen the photos yet.

Here is the most recent photo. As you can see, not much change!

But I've started the baby blanket for my cousin's baby. He knows it's going to be a boy, hence the blue ;) I started it while I was away. Its amazing how much knitting you can get done on the Eurostar.

I'm pleased with it so far. Its a pattern I've used before so I know what I'm doing. Luckily. 

It's nearing the end of the summer holidays for me now and as my new hubby has gone back to work it's time to start preparing for the new year; lesson planning, preparing labels and displays etc etc. I hate it. Oh, and planning the next term's worth of activities for the guides.

 

So the knitting is a little reward for when I've got some work done :( I wonder how much I'll have managed by next Wednesday, or if I'll just have given up on the work and managed to achieve a few FOs ;)

 

Hope you're all having a good week. Don't forget to pop over to tamisamis to see some more WIPs.

Some FOs!!!

I'm so excited. Not only have I finished the wrist warmers - BOTH of them,  (I'll post photos soon but am off out to babysit the recipient of the footballer from this post if you remember) and something else I've been working on for a while that will have to wait for a while til it's revealed, But I've also decided what I'm going to knit for my cousin's baby.

They know it's a boy, he's due on the 20th of October. So I figured that it needs to be something basic or that they can save and use when he's a bit older.

But the recipients of the original Baby Blanket have told me several times that it's the perfect size so I'm going to make it again, in blue. The wool was just lovely and easy to work with (Sirdar Snuggly DK) so I figured I'd stick with what I know.  (I bought some Tiny Tots to make something else for my God daughter that I had the pattern for but was disappointed with the wool when it arrived so figured I'd stick with something soft and lovely).

Anyway, got to go, Sorry about the lack of photos but I'll post them ASAP.
