Its December!
Necessitating a visit to the loft and removal of some of our ‘loft insulation’… and the first decorations have gone up
The boys are incredibly excited, hourly counting the stockings to see if it is getting any closer by re checking the remaining filled ones. I have decided that if they don’t calm down, making December the loonngggesttttttt month ever I may occasionally empty a couple extra, then refill them that night, just to keep them on their toes, well, it’ll make me smile anyway!
I have finished all the patches for ‘Zany’ and the jumper is now completed bar the edgings and the band around the bottom. Which I think will take a while. That and the fact that I HATE SEWING IN ENDS MUM, there are 104 patches and several new balls of wool, each patch has 2 tails, that makes a minimum of 208 ends to sew in. 208! I love my mum, but do I love her that much?
I can’t show you a proper picture as I don’t want mum to get either a) excited or b) disappointed. After reading about the pattern on Raverly I was surprised that it wasn’t as difficult as it seemed but you do need some crochet knowledge as the instructions really are quite poor.
I’ll post some pics and more info when I’ve finished it, which, with 208, yes 208 mum, ends to so in, may be a while!
