Patterns, Recipes and Tutorials Coming Soon!

This blog isn't looking too hot at the moment, is it?

Don't worry - we'll be up and running very soon once I've managed to upload some photographs and draw up some knitting patterns. I'll be showing you pictures of my latest projects (a ribbed, striped boyfriend scarf and how I'm using up scraps of wool to make a patchwork blanket) and hopefully some half decent cooking recipes too. I'm making minted Welsh lamb burgers from scratch tonight so I'll take some pictures ready to upload.

For now, here's a picture of the Sackboy plush that my Mum and I made for my boyfriend's 2008 Christmas present (modeled by the lovely man himself).

Sackboy is made from:
- soft hessian (burlap) material
- cut up black tshirt for the mouth
- cut up pair of red underwear (!) for the tongue
- a 9inch zip
- toy stuffing
- navy blue knitting thread.

Boyfriend is made from:
- slugs
- snails
- puppy dog's tails.

Between my Mum and I the Sackboy only took about 2-3 days to complete although after all the sewing my fingers were red raw. This project calls for a thimble! Anyway, I need to get back to work so stay tuned, I promise to be back very soon with some project ideas.
