Hello.

A new blog.  All about the things I make and the process of making.  I have many goals I wish to achieve along the way.  My photography needs a lot of work.  Everything I do has room for improvement.  This is where I want to record what I do.  What works and what doesn't.

I'm about as consistent as the weather though.  As much as I might get in to this today, this week or this month, tomorrow I might forget all about it and disappear for a week or five.  Today I may be knitting like a mad thing and next time you see me I'll be sewing up a storm.

I knit, sew, crochet, stitch and most recently I've been learning to spin using a drop spindle.  I've been using Tumblr to post photos of finished projects but have decided I want to do more than that.  So, let the experiment begin!

I have several knitting projects currently on the go.  A basic knitted hoodie for my son.  Two pairs of Owlie mitts - one for the oldest step-daughter, another for a friend.  A pair of socks.  And I'm trying to resist the urge to cast on for the Owls jumper.  I need to find something to sew for my sewing group this coming weekend that's not too complicated and time-consuming - I have an idea for that.

Lastly, I'm going to add a photo of the first pair of Owlie mitts I made for the youngest step-daughter.  I learnt to add beads using a crochet hook - so interesting.  I took some photos a couple of weeks ago when I finished them but they were rubbish.  Hopefully the ones I took today are better - and as yet I haven't bothered to learn to edit photos so they look even better.  I'll get there I'm sure.
