If you saw how many projects I have on the go at once, you'd know how difficult that question is to answer!
Probably about 4 afternoons of knitting ...... while popping on here and checking posts ..... and making notes for future projects ......... and ..... (I think I have AADD - Adult Attention Deficit Disorder!)

aww thats gorgeous sue its so cute

I've made this as a get well soon gift to cheer up a lovely friend of mine and i was so happy when she said she started using it straight away and she loves it. When i look at it i see a beach hut on a lovely sandy beach Tranquility a knit and crochet heaven..

Twinkle that's lovely.

that looks lovely Twinkle

thanks very much i think im going to make myself one too maybe a haunted house ready for halloween.

Love the idea of a haunted house. You could make a garden shed with flowers around. I'm sure theres lots of variations

Lovely makes Sue and Marie. I have put the little house pattern in my pile to knit, I hope it turns out as well as yours.
Sue can I ask where the pattern for the top is from it looks so soft and cosy.

Sorry, SuzyB, I didn't have a pattern - just made it up as I went along

Hello everyone,

This is not really a finished product but it is my first attempt (and second) at spinning using a drop spindle

The natual skein is my first attempt, it is super chunky but also super soft...only spun about 7m of this so any ideas of what to do with it are VERY welcome he he..the grey/brown skein is my second attempt, this one is a little thinner and I got about 13m out of this one

I have only just started spinning and it is really good fun, I just hope I will eventually spin something that is usable in a proper garment he he

Thanks for looking
