Very first sock!
This is my very first sock in progress. I know, I'm not that far ahead but I want to get it right. Without any mistakes.

Phew!!
Just arrived home from Edinburgh and like the saddoo I am, I have just checked the needles sizes on Ravelry and I purchased the correct needles. Yes.
Treats!!
Decided to treat myself today. I paid a visit to Edinburgh and made a beeline for John Lewis. Had a fab time feeling all the yummy yarns and all the splendid colours. But in the end I only opted for 2 sets of new knitting needles (Pony) I was missing some sizes. Only one thing though I forgot to take my size guide from ravelry so I wasn't completely sure what sizes I needed (lol). I did have the urge to buy more but I had recently bought Sirdar Yarn from Ebay and I have also placed an order at Get Knitted too. Can't wait for my goods to arrive.

Secret Mission!
I'm working on a secret mission! It is soooo secret I can't tell anyone what it is. Okay I will give you a snippet it's for my blog. It should be ready in a couple of days, with any luck and it's knitting orientated. I hope it works because it looks fab. (Squirrel slinks away, bushy tail and all, to finish her mission!)

Fantastic Books!
Another Purchase Ahem!!
I have never ever attempted to make socks (I know shame on me!). I asked my mum, who is a fantastic knitter to help me and she very sheepishly admitted that she had tried it as a young girl and had been shown by a relative on how to turn a heel but just never took to it. So I aim to be a show off and learn, hopefully I will find it easy, fingers crossed. Also my partner loves wearing climbing socks and buys hoards of them, so he is hoping I can make them for him instead. So no pressure or anything haha!!
I've been bad!!
I'm so excited, I have decided to order a few new knitting books and can't wait until they arrive. Loads of inspiration but also a chance to use up most of my huge stash. As if I need anymore inspiration, as I have tonnes of books with patterns but he-ho. Inspiration is what I need just now. I have been away from knitting for about a year, due to personal problems and I have finally come back to it and it's fantastic therapy to say the least. Just looking through past purchases has filled me with excitement but I have to remain under control. I have a habit of starting one project then another and another and not finishing the first one I started. Much to the dismay of my partner not much fun living in a house with wool lying everywhere lol. Plus I tend to become so engrossed with what im doing, I forget to speak to the dog and my partner ooopps!

Caught!
Santa
I've been quite busy over the Christmas period. This little fellow was made for a work colleague's son. It was his first real Christmas (no not Santa's the little boy) i.e. he was aware of all the fuss haha. When he received it he squealed with laughter and I've been informed that it hasn't left his side.
It's cold out there!
