Despite working from home and often taking a Wednesday and Thursday off instead of the weekend a Monday morning still feels more hectic than any other. In terms of knitting I've set my sights a bit higher this week. Once I've finished the square I started last night I'll be looking seriously at starting to write some patterns.

They're going to [have to] be incredibly simple to begin with. I'm giving a friend a choice between patterns as she'll be keeping the finished articles and obviously I want them to be of use or enjoyment. So far I'm thinking that a moss stitch sleeveless pullover or a set of knitted and stuffed skittles and a ball would be the simplest yet nicest ideas. Otherwise I was thinking some simple mittens tied together with iCord or a tube from a Knitting Nancy so that they can be threaded through a jacket.

It's proving quite difficult to come up with some truly unique ideas that I won't be stealing from anyone else and the real challenge will be writing the pattern but I'm excited to do it, make the mistakes and make it perfect again. In the end I'll have a nice collection of .PDF patterns for you all to download :)

Oh by the way, I know I go on about the Vogue Knitting book all the time so I thought I'd make it more accessible to you - here's a link to the Vogue Knitting website that has a selection of the stitches and techniques for you to follow:
