Knit not stitch

Only 1 evening of stitching this week which was Wednesday at the club, i took Beatrix with me and accomplished half of another motif, its growing but very slowly, why is it the last little bit gets so boring and always takes forever?

It's been more of a knitty week, DH's halloween socks are complete, he's really pleased with them especially as they are a bit longer in the leg than the other pair.

I've also been knitting some Christmas surprise smalls which grow really fast. DS saw them and has asked for 2 for his friends children for Christmas.

Thank you to Gaynor for the lovely knitting mag which i won in a contest on her blog. It's got a great book about crochet with it, thats the 'lets try something new' i want to do in 2010, this year it was the socks and i have mastered those (i know its only on 2 needles and i have yet to master the 4 needles LOL) Lots of stitchers seem to be enjoying taking a break from stitching and trying knitting or crochet recently i have seen it on lots of blogs.

This morning i finished off the monthly challenge piece. This month it's a choice of 2 free designs from The Drawn Thread, not long till the reveal of this as its next Sunday.

Enjoy your crafty time ...

    Neat socks, Julie.
    I wish I could make socks, I can only make scraves and hats.
    Two wonderful mags from Gaynor. I really must go visit her blog, I must have lost the link to it.
    DT was some cool freebies.
    Have fun!!

    Julie I love the Halloween socks! The yarn is so pretty. I just finished knitting 2 sweater jackets for my grandsons. You have been my inspiration to pick knitting up again. I haven't done it for 20 years. Thank you my friend.
