A Little Off Track
The bears have taken a bit of a back seat since Christmas. Alan bought me this brilliant little book... Inspired to Knit by Michele Rose Orne for Christmas, I can highly recommend it. It's a long time since I knitted anything for myself as the bears have been very demanding over the last few years as not only do they want sewing, they beg for knitted and crochet outfits to keep them warm despite their fur!
Anyway, I was very inspired to knit and bought some lovely yarn just after Christmas in a nice cotton mix, I decided to give myself about an hour a day (inbetween work on the bears) for some me time to perhaps finish this lovely cardigain in time for late spring/early summer. However it somehow turned into more me time than I planned, I haven't been able to stop and am already on the last sleeve. It has been such a pleasure. I would like to go through the whole book and make everything but I won't start anything else until later in the year, as I have bears to make for the Leeds fair in March and a new batch of bear outfits that I have planned.
I did however finish little miniature Buddy who is listed on Ebay for a week to find his new family, his little hat is made from beautiful fine shetland yarn and finished off with a little heart button as it's nearly Valentines Day.
Hugs
