Getting back to work.

We're back into the swing of things here after the holidays. The kids are back to school and after I'm getting the energy back to get stuck into my knitting and sewing. A bad set of markets in November really knocked the wind out of my sails but I feel ready to get back into it properly now.

After Christmas I knit a cowl for myself. I found this one on Ravelry. It's a Lion Brand pattern and was supposed to be knit on larger needles and then felted. I only acrylic yarn so I just knit with smaller needles. 

I've wanted to knit a cowl for myself for ages as I wear scarves all the time and I'm happy with this one. I have a brooch in it at the moment to pull it in a bit tighter as the wind has been bitter here the last few weeks.

Next up is a teddy I was commissioned to make. My cousins husband contacted me to make a personalised teddy for my cousin from her 5 month old daughter. It was such a lovely, personal idea and I enjoyed making it.

Now I'm busy knitting dolls and refining a pattern I'd started a few months ago.

Here's to a busy and productive 2015.
