Where am I?











Progess piccy of Ivy League vest, coming on well but very concentration intensive, will be pleased when its finished as yearning to get on with two other projects.
Also purchased this lovely bag for my knitting, it reminds me of an old carpet bag, anyway its 21"x13"x7" and will hold books, yarns, knitting , purse and all things for when I go to my monthly knitting meet and was a bargain as well£12.00.


Standing on the pavement walk on the River Thames....Big Ben in the background and the Houses of Parliament...went to London for a long weekend and stayed in a great hotel. Went on the London Eye...brilliant and also did the River Cruise...it was a very cold weekend but wrapped up warm and did loads of walking.....me and DH had a lovely romantic time...ahh!

Hello...am still here.

Sorry been away a bit too long but have been waiting for yarn to come through from the US...so at last I have cast on and started EunnyJangs Ivy League Vest.
DSCF2637

Am loving it so far...deced to do the 3rd size up...which is the 34 plus booby size...actually it has been quite good as because of the £ to $ ratio...costs me less to get the yarn from the states than buy it here. Have given myself until middle of March to get it finished, and then next on the agenda is a beautiful multi coloured shawl called Swedish Heartwarmer....will get a photo up when I start....but am doing it as a Kal in April...and the yarn is wending its way to me as we speak.
Have been on Ravelry quite a bit, which takes knitting time away but is Oh so interesting....I think I have loads of favs and queued patterns...all very exciting...anyway must away...dog to walk.....then off to babysit DD twins for evening. Byee for now x
