Have I got a yarn for you!

Hehe don’t mind me, I’ve gone a little knitting crazy! It might have taken me years of picking up the needles (or pins as I’ve found out) my brain has finally figured out how to knit…well how to do cast on, knit, purl, and cast off!
I’m a little excited if you can’t tell LOL.
I have been working with some size 10 needles which are huuuuuge, but they are easier to learn on as you can really see where the yarn goes, where to place the needle etc etc.
I actually took my knitting out into public for the first time today while I was waiting in the car for Dad.

  

  

Here are the YouTube vids I used to learn….FINALLY!

Check out the rest of the tutorials with this video, they’re very helpful.
Any who, guess what I didn’t do yesterday? That’s right I didn’t do my first blogtoberfest blog! Naughty me, well to make up for it I will do two today. So stick around for some exciting news and some more of my knitting trials and tribulations!
Till next time (in a few minutes), keep crafting xx.

The week that was…

I’ve decided that every Sunday I do a post titled “The week that was” where I can recap happenings from the past week, stuff I did blog about, stuff I forgot or stuff I didn’t think was interesting enough to blog about during the week LOL.

ooooooooooO0Ooooooooooo

I found out I was accepted into the Croydon Huckleberry Market in Dec (more details to come). YAY ME!
I finally got started on my breast cancer donation (photo’s to come).
I taught myself after many years trying to teach my self on and off how to knit finally! So far I’ve learn…

• Knit
• Purl
• Stockinette Stitch
• Cast on and off
• Rib Stitch

I purchased some different size needles and come yummy yarn to make my first ever knitted creation ( granted it’s a scarf but still, baby steps) (Oh and don’t remind me that I have chosen to take up a winter hobby at the beginning of spring!).
Realised if you don’t do thing things won’t get done…
Took Master N to get his 4 year old needles which nearly broke my heart, then comforted my rather sick 4 year old which were caused by the a fore mentioned needles.
Signed my self up to Blogtoberfest (which I missed the first day of, but am making up for it by doing two posts in one day! Go Me!).
Finally got around to calling a child care centre to book myself in for placement so I can finally finish my course, I start Wednesday!)
Came up with an exciting business idea, again it’s something which all benefits and feeds into the dream I have for owning my own creative business. (More to come soon!)
Making a decision to get serious about blogging, I would like to use this blog as a creative outlet, a journal to look back on and perhaps a means of earning some $$ to help my little family obtain our goals.
Realised that if I can’t get it right the first time doesn’t mean the world is going to end nor do I move onto the next thing, try try again.
Found that contact doesn’t work very well as a mask when trying to paint a design on fabric, back to the drawing board on that one.
Seeing that there are new dates for the screen printing workshop I want to do in October YAY!
Found some really awesome and inspiring blogs to stalk, I mean read!
Refrained from throwing myself off the closest bridge (thankfully we don’t have bridges close by) when my beloved pies lost the grand final yesterday, waaaahhhhhaaaaaaaa!

ooooooooooO0Ooooooooooo

And because I hate blogging with out pictures here is a pic of my beautiful cat scout ♥.
