Bag Lady

Yes it is true, I have turned into a bag lady!!! I have knitted two bags in the last week. One for Samantha....

With beads and cables and very girly, she loves it! And one for me...

Mine, a chunky black cabled one, that I even lined!!!

I have to say I am very proud of both of them.

Yes I know....

Hello my name is Pauline, I am an addict, a knitting addict!!!! If I'm not knitting, I'm thinking about what to knit next, what yarn to get get, what colour yarn to get, do I have the right size needles??????? But I am enjoying knitting after so many years of not touching knitting needles.

Knitting, Cables and Beads!!!

I have just finished knitting Samantha the cutest dress, I couldn't wait to post pics, so here it is....

I got the top of the dress from a pattern on ravelry.com and just made the skirt up as I went. Lots of stitches on a circular needle, round and round I went, adding a few stitches every now and then. I love it! So proud of it.

I am now knitting something else, but I don't want to say what it is 'til I'm finished it, but I will disclose it has cables (which I haven't done in years!), and beads knitted into it (which I have never done!). Stay tuned.

Spencer

A few quick things to mention. Spencer won an award at school, Student Of The Month! We were so proud of him. David, Samantha, Grandad Ray, Nanny Ree and I went down to the school for the award ceremony. Spencer didn't know he was getting it, so was a bit worried when we all turned up, he thought he was in trouble!

My lovely son also made me this gorgeous box, which now holds all my necklaces that were just thrown in a drawer....

He did a great job with it, I love it!

I made Samantha the cutest little top!!! I have one question for you all, how do you stop the bottom of the knitting rolling up? I love this top but the rolling up, especially on the ruffle ruins the look for me....

I have also made a few hats and scarves, nothing to exciting. Though I did make Ray and Maree's new dog, Mini, a little coat to help keep her warm...

So I have been busy making things as you can see. I've been a bit depressed the last month or so, not really getting on with David's family, hate family get together! Missing my family so very much!

On the weight lose journey, I have gone from 126kg to 111kg, gone from size 26 jeans to size 20 jeans, never had a pair of 20 jeans, did a little dance when they went on!!!! Still have a long way to go my Dr wants me at at least 80kg.
