Merry Christmas to all.......

I'm home:-)

A little prep-ping a lot of visitors, its all wrapped and not the usual quiet Stockholm Christmas we had been accustomed too, but I can tell you, its pretty nice.

It's now knitttttttttt time.

My finished gifts are as follows many blankets, my skirts nearly there and I think that  it's about time that I made my self a hat and scarf, my own Christmas gift.
To me from me.  Photos to follow of gifts, funnily another post with little crochet or knit.

Basically I just wanted to say a big BIG thank you to everyone that's been part of my Big knit/mostly crochet adventure of 2010..................

 With /without snow

 Blythe Christmas card , for someone who's a little more organised than me.

Bye bye from me for 2010

 Bye bye from Mabel Blythe

All I want for christmas

My kind of gift wrap the crocheted type
(Window display at Mother Care of all places)

knit and crochet adverts are everywhere, I love that so many shops have used it in there Christmas window displays.   Promoting the craft at this time is year it's amazing how much has changed in the last few years.

This is about my 5th post promoting yet another huge chain store using crochet.

Keep it up (they maybe in it for them selves) but the more people see it, it may just be enough to give them the edge to do something them selves;-)

Home made home (Just like kirsty)

 Blythe

Blythe (Brought my own gift, to me from me type)

Nearly Xmas and unfortunately no time to knit/make for my doll.
so I treated my self to a little peruse on Gina's "This is Blythe site"

NEW BOOTS,tights and not yet photographed the cutest little vintage dress.
I think I went a little to christmassy as she is looking a little like an elf in biker boots but who cares I like it!

Initial blanket crochet

I have So many xmas gifts......to-do's(Knits/crochet) I have gone off the radar! 

will she won't she get it all done by xmas

And WHY did I not plan earlier;-)

Grace & Emma (Two kiddie car seat blankets)

E

Then the G & E

Now the process is running in unisen, I didnt want to get second blanket syndrome;-)

And the fact that they need to be identical (as identical as my stash allows) after all they are the twins gift.

Stuff, "welllllll it is nearly christmas"

 Hectic

I certainly manage to busy myself with stuff...........

We all love a snow day, oh yes the weather has followed me, when I left stockholm I had thought I had seen the last of the white stuff for a while..........

WRONG

And Luckily I kept my coat and Primark has affordable long Johns.


Had this book for a while, so this snow day I had to take a break from the bulk knitting/crochet and read a little.  My hand (intensively crocheting) it's playing up,  achy I hope it's just the cold;-)

I'mnot that old! that the arthritis kicked in, it's just over doing the craft and the cold combined.

 I love a Martini , so that's a winning title, tis written by a super model and I'm  more wash and go;-) but I wouldn't judge a book by the cover as they say.

But it dose have some relevant stuff..........  Stitch N bitch

Funny part about the regulars sat in there seats (oh so true)

  Rasmus

 Be a doll.......

Very relevant to me, a little about Blythe.  She is a doll that's not so well known, unless like me you've researched or brought the dolls that you never had as a child.

My excuse;-)

  Below"this is me"

Relevant again because as I type I'm sitting through a Twilight marathon and everyone needs an 
 Edward.........

Jacob.........

Carlisle........

My skirt collection is expanding and a few of the graffiti banners are now becoming skirts.

 A little mess up as this is actually the inlay from the book,(above review) it  reminded me of knitting, knitted stitches.  So I figured it earned a place to on my knit blog.

Quick and easy Baby Blankets.

  A little crocheted baby car seat blanket, ready for my new nephew or niece that's due after xmas.
