I'm trying really hard to post once a week but the last three weeks have been so busy! I know I owe you a picture of my advent surprise but try as I might, I just cannot take a good one - it's long and not easy to photograph! I will perservere though as I think it's worth sharing.
Also, the little friend I was going to introduce you to still only has three legs so you will have to wait a little longer to meet him as he is a bit wonky when he stands up ;~)
I can show you a couple of projects that I have been working on though. I made a couple of bake free Christmas puddings the week before last - one for a swap and one for me!
It's a great pattern from Simply Knitting Irresistible Gifts.
I have also joined a KAL on Ravelry for a Lace Knitters Advent Scarf 2010 - the pattern can be found here Unikatissima's Blog
The designer releases a section of the pattern each day from 1st - 24th December and all being well on Christmas Day the group will have a completed scarf ready for blocking!
I was really dubious about joining this as although I manage to knit lace, it is not without a lot of trial and error. That being said, the sections in this pattern are very easy to complete. I think lace is finally starting to "click" with me and the thought of that delights me as I would love to be able to knit lace without frogging every other row!
