November 17 Finished Project: SocksI have finally finished a pair of socks which have been two months in the making, as I have been working on other projects. I used Opal's 'Magic Rouge' yarn which is really more pink than red although looking at the photo,looks more like mellow yellow due to the poor lighting and the camera on my mobile phone. November 07 Talking about Popular TV Repeats-TV, actors, Big Brother, soaps, gossip, rumours, TV shows, reviews, pictures | MSMy favourite would be 'Life On Mars' followed by 'Dr Who'. I have also been a fan of 'Inspector Morse' but I'm so tired of seeing it now, the programme needs a break from the screens for a while. 'Star Trek' was also a favourite of mine for a long time. Which are your favourites? Have a great weekend.

Today is National Stress Awareness Day so if you are suffering from a more than healthy amount of stress, I hope this website helps.
I'd be interested to read what you do to help relieve stress.
Best wishes. October 28 Thank YouThank you to everyone who has invited me to be their friend. This has prompted me to actually update this site/blog thingy. Since I last typed, I have .. become single and knitted five pairs of socks on DPNs. I prefer the latter to the former but such is life. I had greatly reduced my stash only to develop an addiction to sock wool and randomed dyed yarn. I tend to knit more now than crochet and cross-stitch because I'm more confident at knitting than crochet and it's easier to see wool stitches than aida squares. I will, hopefully, try to keep this site up to date as my friends have such great sites. Have a great week. February 20 Knit 1 Frog 1I'm still trying to knit and crochet my way through all my wool stash which is going to take a long time. The only thing which is keeping me going is that once it's all cleared,I've promised to buy myself the most cushiest, cuddliest wool for the project of my dreams. Back to the present, or near enough, I've just finished a small cushion using a pattern from JPFun. I'm a member of this site and there are some great patterns for using up all those small amounts of wool. Most of the patterns are for Worsted Weight but you can always adapt. I've used the rectangular granny square and double crocheted the backing. I stuffed the cushion with pot-pourri and added a chain loop to hang up the cushion. I've posted a photo (sorry about the quality) and I hope you like it.
Here is the pattern for the rectangle ...
January 22 Two Needle SocksI'm still learning to handle four double pointed needles but I really wanted to knit some socks. Whilst searching, I found this brilliant pattern and knitted it using DK Wool. The socks are really thick, fluffy and soft but you do have to sew them up with a flat seam. This pattern can also be easily adapted to the size of your own feet. If you've never knitted socks before, try this pattern. The pattern can be found on http://www.redlipstick.net/knit/ndlesock.html Talking about Food with a smile, Cuisine to boost your mood - MSN Health UK
