WARNING.... lots of pictures of knitting!

I'm back into the swing of things here, housework was done this morning and then I cut four boys hair and Malcs! Cal and Malc are easy as they just have it clippered all over with a number one cutter. Clark has his scissor cut and has done for about six months which has lead to Sol and Cody announcing they would like theirs scissor cut now! I'm not a hairdresser I just follow on from the cut before. It seems to be working so far! With haircuts in barbers being from £5 to £8 that's how it's going to continue! The boys are fine at the moment but I know there will come a day that they don't want me to cut it anymore. That'll be the day they pay for their haircut themselves!!
Anyway pictures! I've finished the two chunky cardigans that I was knitting for my friends boys for their birthdays .

I'm not very pleased with the buttons on the green one , I must remember to take a strand of wool with me when I go and get the buttons. The green wool was not how I remembered it!!

I've also done this one for a friend who had a baby a few months ago. I did some at the time but the baby has now outgrown them

Here's a close up of the pattern. I've done this pattern quite a few times. It's one of those that looks complicated but really isn't. It makes you look so much more clever than you really are!

I've just started another one for the same baby, here's a picture of the pattern

This is the wool I'm doing it in

I started it last night,

I think it could take me a while, firstly it's in 4 ply which takes ages to grow and secondly I don't tend to do any patterns nowadays as I'm constantly being interrupted by children! Pesky kids!! I was also knitting with a six month old staffy who still thinks she's a tiny puppy laying on my lap last night which didn't help matters!
I'm such a softie I couldn't push her down!
I'm hoping to get a few rows done tonight as three of the children are out at Beavers, Cubs and Youth Club.
I know it's back onto the weather but we've got rain here today with snow expected on higher ground. If you get some please post a picture for me, I do love snow and it would make an old lady very happy! How can you not resist?!
