WOYWW

 Good morning all.

I hope you are managing to stay cosy in this cold wet weather. 

Here is a nice cheery photo for you button lovers out there...

Some of them are about 4 cms wide so really tactile and chunky.
They were a gift and are just perfect for adding to my twiddle mitts to brighten them up.


This week I have been mostly knitting in the few spare moments that I have had.

I am making another 4 ply pale pink ballet cardi. It is not my favourite job but is for a best friend's granddaughter so I don't mind. I am just stitching it up so will hopefully add a picture before I post this.

On Saturday I took Ben to special show by the author Jeff Kinney who writes the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Ben loves them. We each got a signed copy of his latest book included in the price of the ticket! It was a fun event. Ben is keen to have a go at writing his own stories and selling them!

So that's it for this week.

I am now going to see if I can link up with Julia via my phone - I may be gone for some time 😀

xx Jo

    Ah! A budding author. I hope he does succeed but even if not and he changes his mind he will have lots of fun along the way. It is a noble ambition and I hope he succeeds and makes his gran real proud (not that she isn't now anyway).
    Hugs Neet 10 xx

    Well done for beating the technology and linking up! Wow, that pic of th buttons has gladdened my heart this morning, so cheery and perfect for your twiddlers (I’m so sorry, I will never get over chuckling when I type that word, infantile I know but there it is *grin*). Lovely little cardi too, you’re a good soul doing that, I haven’t knitted a garment for ages, apart from hats!

    Some pretty bright colors with your buttons. Will be a good thing for your projects. AND I love kids to enjoy books. Most every Christmas my 2 sons got books ! Inspirational as they got older !!! We have had some warm 45 degree days and so nice to be out and about with no winds. Otherwise I stay home and jostle things here and there. HAVE a fun weekend.
