We'll probably have them again on Tuesday.
Not that radical then?!
We had a lovely time.
We decided this weekend we would have a quiet one doing what we wanted as we're not all going to be together for nearly a week whilst Callum and I are in hospital.
So we went to a local charity shop where I found this
And this
£1 a ball, it's Aran, 30% wool and I found eight 100grms balls of blue and seven 100grms balls of heather. Absolute bargain!
I also finished knitting this, it's for one of the boys of my friend with the eleven children. He's a couple of years younger than Cody who is modeling for me. I have done the back and sleeves of the next one for another of her boys. They both have birthdays in March.
Then we went to The Courtyard Centre, a place that I've mentioned before where there is the best wool shop ever! I bought some of this to do another hoodie for Soloman who has a birthday in April.
He chose the colour himself.
There's also a lovely toy shop there that sells some fantastic puzzles and Lego sets, the boys all bought some of the latter.
So the rest of Saturday afternoon was spent at the table
Making these
And these.
We went out for breakfast on Sunday morning at our favourite place where all the boys eat free so we only pay for Malc and myself.
The afternoon was spent doing some jobs like the bathroom and catching up on the washing and ironing to help Malc whilst I'm away.
Callum and I have packed a few things.
I probably won't be around for a week or so as there's no WiFi on Callums ward! Good job we both knit!
So I'll see you the other side!
Great bargains and fabulous knitting as always. I hope everything goes well next week and Callum is soon on the road to recovery. Take care xxx

ReplyDeleteThanks Morgan x both the chunky and DK knit up so beautifully and transform a stocking stitch jumper into something really pretty x

ReplyDeleteGreat wool bargains, and the jumper is lovely. Hope all is okay with Callum. Love, Helen x
ReplyDeleteI have knitted with that marble wool before - it's rather lovely! I made my then 16yo girl a jumper. It's on my blog somewhere but I was really impressed with how it knits up xx
