She arrived at last! My new niece Ella was born in the very early hours of Thursday morning weighing a whopping 9lb 13oz.
I finished her doll at the last minute ready to give to her yesterday evening when we went to visit.
I’ve got more pictures of her on flickr if you want to have a look. I’ve also got lots of little things on the go at the mooment including Thermal from Knitty which is slow work but looks really good. One thing that I have finished is this string bag that I crochet using three balls of string from the 99p shop. Ijust cobbled together the pattern, started off with sc rounds until I think it was about 48 chains in the round. Then I worked upwards using triple crochet (i think that’s what it’s called…!) until the bag was big enough. I then worked a round that incorporated the straps and one final sc round to fix the straps in place. I now feel like I’m doing my bit for the environment, cue warm feeling inside…
I got my drop spindle last week and have been attempting to do some spinning to varying degrees of success. I’ll post some pictures of that too when I get round to doing them.
I got my SP11 info today so I now know who I’m going ot be sending lots of goodies to. It’s great to be able to legitimately buy lotsof yummy stuff without feeling guilt! It’s also really nice to spend a stupid amount of time looking at other blogs and seeing what everyone else is up to. Right, I’m off shopping!
