Burble along with me in my dream world

WOYWW12 for me

Here we are again, happy as can be, all good pals and jolly good company.
I would be if I could get on the internet quickly. Had to decamp to the living room as just not getting a signal in my workroom which is appropriate as that is where I've been crafting and watching Wimbledon.

There's a new baby due in our family in August. Little sis down south is about to become a granny so I've been knitting. I also found a stash of little things that just need sewing up.
On the needles there's a beret I started last night.

Close up you can see the little Mary Janes I knitted from a free pattern I found on the internet.
I love the little socks but they were in my stash and I don't know if I've still got the pattern. It could have been one I borrowed.
The little tank top has been knitted in King Cole Splash which is a lovely multi coloured yarn-really exciting to work with. Underneath you can see the Sirdar book I found on my shelf last night. It's over 10 years old but has some lovely stylish designs in it.
Get over to The Stamping Ground where you will meet Julia who will show you how to put your stuff on display and join in the fun

  17. oh my goodness Betty! those tiny little bootee-shoes are fabulously cute! Now, I coud knit something like thatcoz it's tiny and it would be finished quickly, so I don't get bored. (I did knit all those years ago when my girls were babies and I did knit some little tiny Christmas toys...now, where did I put those knitting needles???!
