WOYWW

 
Good morning all!

I hope you have survived the gales and are not too badly affected by floods etc.

We are all fine here although Shrewsbury has lots of floods beside the River Severn which flows around the town centre.

This week I have another little twiddler - a Footie themed one this week.



And then, my latest little knittie for my God daughter....


It's knitted in James Brett Marble DK. 

Of course, I always have to try and match sleeves and fronts with this, not quite random, wool. 

I just don't feel happy knitting it straight from the ball and letting it be completely random. I think it looks Ok and it's really cosy and can be "cool tumble-dried" which is not always the case with yarns these days.

So that's my crafty activity to share with you this week.

I have worked on the Mr Saucepan outfit with Ben today - he helped make little pans to stitch onto the waistcoat. I will take a photo of him wearing it when it's finished.

And finally...

This is what I took out of my potato bag today.

I haven't done anything to it.

It just made me smile.


Have a great week.

xx Jo

    the twiddler is great for a fan of the right team; I love the footballs. the jumper is gorgeous and the time you've taken to match the "random" front and sleeves is impressive. As for the smiling potato - brilliant! Happy WOYWW Helen # ?

    A stunning jumper Jo - the sleeves are really well matched. Fab twiddler too. Look forward to seeing Mr Saucepan in all his glory when the costume is finished too. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #?

    Gorgeous Twiddler - love the little footballs - great to fiddle with.
    What a pretty dress, and it will keep her so nice and snug, can well picture it with a pair of tights underneath. Great knitting.
    Look forward to the new outfit for ben.

    Morning Jo your potato head made me smile too as did your lovely knitting projects.
    I’m glad you’ve survived the storms we just lost a bit of guttering off the garage.
    We watched from the comfort of the living room as snow storms, torrential rain and gale force winds visited us over the weekend.
    Needless to say we didn’t go out haha

    Oh some pretty yarn projects, and I love your tator !
    He comes up with a few from his garden in the summer that are quite unique. I'm thinking weather all over the world is quite destructive here and there. We still have -25 with winds/ice so here today. The next 3 days are busy with 2 funerals, tax appt/dental appt. Have a great week

    Well who doesn’t Love a slightly wonky face that potato is a gift! I totally get your problem with a random yarn and even though it might not occur to them I’m pretty sure that your work to match the sleeves to the body will be really appreciated it’s such a pretty pattern perfect for a little girl! Looking forward to seeing Ben in his outfit I must say. The floods look awful but selfishly I’m very glad that you’re all safe and sound.

    That’s a lovely twiddler Jo. Well done for matching the sleeves on the random yarn. They look much better. Stay safe from the floods up there.
    Take care
