some of my week

this is our neighbours' dog 'hooch'.he lets himself in th house if th back door is open and has perfected th sad "dont u love me???" look if we ask him to leave, dont constantly pet him or dont let him in...but he's so lovely.

new babies!
so exciting!
cant remember what they r just now but its exciting, been liberating a lot of plants lately and they all seem to b doin quite well, but these r from seeds so its a nice surprise when they sprout.

bear keys r th best keys!finally got a key cut yesterday and they had this panda one!i now like pandas, AND they've been reclassified as bears[obviously this makes them cool].

th old man got me these th other day [so lovely:) ] but there was no label in th pot...any ideas what they are?

oh yeah and i've been knitting...

these r jus some quick hand warmers made in velvet touch from peter pan[i think] but i'm not sure i'll keep them, even though they're super soft and lovely, i've already frogged them about 4 times tryin to get th size.

i've also been tryin to make a little capelet [from snb nation] and bein vegan an usually a little poor [not related except when making lots of cakes] i always substitute yarns from patterns for animal friendly ones that r in my stash, anyway i frogged it about 4 times too due to bad choice of yarn and th last time was th furthest id got then i realised id made a mistake th whole way through [put a yf after th sl2 instead of leaving it back...it didnt say to so y did i think i knew better??]i think it woulda been okay but i think i secretly like ripping work out too[may explain my lack of f.o.s].

i'm back, still alive

i am still alive, we've moved to ireland and i've become addicted to knitting since i last wrote here and looking at my pics it looks like i need to knit something bigger than my hand, here r some of th things i've been up to...

scarf for nichola...

a scarf [i did boycott them for a very long time] for my mom...

a treasure bag i made th other night for me...

a big red crocheted blanket that's meant to be for my grandma stateside but i'm so poor it probably wont get there and it'll jus remind me of her instead...

this ones for me because its green, i like green, think it needs to b bigger...

this is a quick hat to keep th lovely hilda's head warm[she really likes to b warm], need to post it to her in bicester [can u c a pattern forming?!]...

and a phone sock -on geoff's phone coz my looks like th hulk in it- i made quickly last night when i was thinking of somethin i could knit with my limited stash of yarn[we left th suitcases with geoff's clothes and my yarn behind when we had too much weight!]...

...also had this needle case made especially for me by th lovely hands of sue merry of fritwell [thanks sue!]...

...had the progress of a vintage hat in black halted whilst cat sitting...

...tried to force my knitting obsession on others who would smile politely[hope ur still knitting?!]...

...and have found anothe bunny who would like a nice home...

also been making things for my cousin and my friends birthdays but they havent got them yet so i thought id better not post them just now
