My Creative Space

Includes my page-load craft - this Groundhog Day Olearia.
 

With lots of disruptions to family life in the last week, my knitting time has been somewhat fractured, my mind somewhat distracted.  I keep losing the instructions and losing my place.  I keep knitting the wrong row. 

Right now, I'm back to where I was on Monday morning.



In the non-knitty creative space, there's been quite a bit of photography, photoshop and web updates - including 25mm magnetic snaps.... which I've spent too long on already but am considering re-shooting.  They're actually really shiny.

Pop over to Kirsty's to see what everyone else is up to.

    Ha! My first Olearia was exactely the same. I think I knitted it about twelve times over. It is going to be gorgeous in that colour.

    When I have a knitting pattern like that I usually end up pulling it apart and trying something else! I can't bring myself to say "frogged", just sounds weird.....

    I've tried to crochet a few times over the last week and I keep on making mistakes. So I will leave it for a few weeks until I am focused enough not to stuff it up!

    I have every confidence that this garment will be just as triumphant as the last 100 or so you've knitted in the past few weeks. ;)

    Knitting the wrong row drives me crazy. How do you enjoy knitting on a circular needle? Depending on the needles it can drive me crazy and I think I prefer the grip I get on flat needles although I seem to be in the minority.

    Can I be boring and say I love the colour too?! Just finished my first Citron. It needs blocking. But I cast off all 636sts, so I'm calling it finished!

    Them is some big snaps! Big *shiny* snaps!!

    Cheers,
    AJ

    I think it looks fabulous and I love those magnetic snaps :) Actually, that's how I've discovered you - I just googled handbag supplies! Funny how we've probably both being doing My Creative Space for ages and never come across each other ;) Anyway, lovely to have found your site now. Great space. Kx

I LOVE to read your comments and they brighten my day. I can't respond unless your profile has an email address attached, though... And some days I simply don't have time to respond.... but I respond in a telepathic sort of way to each and every comment.
