Knitting Natter

So it's been over a month since I last posted and I must try harder. But don't worry I have been busy clicking away with my needles.

I have finally finish my panda for my husband and I am very please with the result. As I reported before he is a pattern by Alan Dart which are always fantastic to knit, you knit all the piece in flat and sew up at the end.

 I impress myself with the jacket edging which is knitted as i-cord and the stitched on. I was a bit worried at one stage that I wouldn't be able to finish him, plus my husband did discover him at one point so the surprise has gone but I hope he will be impressed with the finished item. 

I have now moved on to my next project which I will be posted in the next week or so. 

I haven't forgot to blog

I just thought I would let you all know that I haven't forgot my blog :)
I have been very busy knitting away but current have haven't finished any projects to show you.
I have a huge list of Christmas knits to get through and none of them seem to be moving very quickly which is a bit worrying.
I am currently knitting a Xiaopang Panda by Alan Dart for my husband, who has always moaned that I have never knitting him anything. He pick it out of Simple knitting July issue and I don't think either one of us realised how big it would be, I thought it would be quite a small quick knit just a bit bigger than my hamsters buy he is three times the size.

I am also going to knit a toy Freddie the Pheasant for my Grandad who loves pheasant s , but I haven't started him yet :/

 A lovely lady called Penny from oliverboliver.com sent me a knitting kit for him for only £8.00! So I hope to crack on with him soon.


So thats what I've been up too :)
