My Grandmother used to knit those ribbed ones and I really should have paid more attention when she was showing me. I really don't hold out any hope of anything more than a thin, narrow dog blanket or maybe that should be flannel size! <br />It's been a laugh if nothing else. It just shows how desperate I am for my creativity to come out....oh I miss drawing/painting :(<br />I am behind with my blogging visits but I hope to catch up soon. I hate to think I'm missing everything. <br />See you soon but in the meantime...have fun and a fantastic week <br />xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-71877726987772981292014-03-05T14:51:45.619+00:002014-03-05T14:51:45.619+00:00It is a fantastic blue...it matched my sons baby b...It is a fantastic blue...it matched my sons baby blue eyes! ;D<br />He still looks great in blue even though his football team wears red!<br />Thanks for visiting my place and I hope to pop across to you soon<br />Have a great week Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-83681702391933132202014-03-05T14:48:51.788+00:002014-03-05T14:48:51.788+00:00Hey Rita, I'll be lucky if a scarf comes out o...Hey Rita, I'll be lucky if a scarf comes out of this little project. It just shows how desperate I was to create something. I'm really missing my artwork :(<br />The cold and knitting certainly seem to go together.<br />Oh you do sound like you've been freezing...but hopefully it's getting better with each day. <br />I've noticed that it's just becoming daybreak now when we get up in the morning which helps pull my reluctant body from the bed. We've also had to change the time when a lamp comes on by a whole hour, so that it's not coming on whilst the sun is still shining! <br />Drills, hammers and the strong smell of paint aren't the best for having visitors so please forgive me and thanks for putting up with it all ;D<br />Stay cosy and wait for spring...it's surely coming soon <br />Have a wonderful week.<br />xoxoNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-87667906212056061332014-03-05T14:41:15.818+00:002014-03-05T14:41:15.818+00:00I'm not so clever with the needles either Shei...I'm not so clever with the needles either Sheila ;D<br />But it was nice to sit and reminisce about my Mother and Grandmother whilst I tried to remember how to do it. Once I relaxed into it it all came back to me. <br />Somewhere in the back of my mind (a very scary place) the technique came back...either that or my Mum was guiding my hands :D<br /><br />I hope you had a Happy Blue Monday and apologise it's taken me this long to reply to your lovely comment.<br />I love to have visitors so thank you for your precious time...I appreciate it.

It is nice to see the finished windows but the noise, chaos and general mayhem before they're finished can be a little testing to say the least. <br />We're well over half way now so the end is in sight...well for the windows and doors anyway. Then it's on to the next project! <br />The woodchopper has gone AWAL today but he'll be back and busy soon I hope ;D<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-34273379441156497682014-03-05T13:56:33.064+00:002014-03-05T13:56:33.064+00:00Pattern!

Yarn needles and knitt...Of course I remember you ;D<br />Yarn needles and knitting needle are one and the same. <br />I think knitting is one of those activities that lends itself to sitting quietly whilst waiting for the precious package to bake, but once the little one arrives then its full on for the next 20 years so no time for knitting! <br /><br />I'm keeping a few of the window frames to use as cold frames for my seedlings once my green fingers sprout!<br />I hope you have a happy week too and it's great that you've popped in to comment.

May is going to be a big month for your family. I hope all goes well and will be watching for news and lots of details when your grandchild arrives ;D<br />Hugs back to you...and yes Muffy looks good in blue...well in anything really.
