Label change

I noticed my labels have a knitting and crochet, and a knitting label. so, although there are knitting pics in the crochet and knitting label posts, from now on I'm going to just put crocheted projects in there, and all future knitting projects will be in the knitting labelled posts :-)

So. Here are some more finished knits :-). The cream cardie is for Freddie, which he wore yesterday, and looked super smart in it. The little baby things was for a friend of one of my daughters, who'd just had a little boy :-)

About 16 years ago, I started some rug making, but stopped and what I was making was put up in the attic. Earlier this month, I got it out again. There was a cushion some of my younger girls were doing, which I finished off. The rug I was working on, I've taken up again. Will post a pic of that when it's done and given to the daughter I was originally making it for :-). Also, I had a rug kit my dad started. Sadly he is no longer with us, so hubby has taken that project on :-)

Here is the cushion cover.





This is still in progress. A few more motifs have been added since these photos were taken :-)





Hubby has been busy











Knits form last 12 months


Won't post all stuff knitted from last three years, so here is some of my last 12 months efforts :-)























Feb 2020

2017! The last time I posted on here. That's amazing. Now we are in 2020. How times fly.

I have been busy. I was looking after my little grandson three days a week for nearly three years. Last January he started extra days at his child minder, so I only have him once a week now. this September he starts school!!!! That is unbelievable.

Not a lot has changed with me. I still like my crafts, baking etc. I think the last four years I've mainly knitted for Freddie :-)
I still try to be as economical with my cooking as I can be, and not waste food, though at times I don't do so well. Lately as well, one of my daughter's who lives with us and is a chef, (I have two chef daughters) is embracing a more vegan/vegetarian type diet. As a chef she can't go full vegan/veggie, as she has to taste her cooking, but at home, those are her food choices, veering more towards vegan. I've joined her on this. I will eat meet if we are visiting and meat is served, but where I can have to choice, my food preferences are now more Veggie, as I do eat egg and cheese still. I do try and keep my main meals mainly vegan though. Hubby still eats meat and fish, but he is enjoying a more vegan diet.
Tuesday nights, my daughter does the evening meal, and this last Tuesday she did pulled jackfruit. She wasn't so keen on it, but hubby and I loved it :-)
