Slowly getting there

I've still got presents to wrap but the Lacey shawl is finished, I can't find the photos of it so they will have to wait.  The dinosaur jumper is finished and should reach its destination today.



Another present is on its way, a Sooty hand puppet, pattern free with Knit Now magazine.




Another has been started and will be finished this weekend.
In other news, I fitted a new toilet for my parents. That wasn't a straightforward job, some of the plumbing must have been done when Queen Victoria was a girl ........ I got it done though. It's a good job I'm not averse to getting dirty lol.

Back soon.

It's that time of year........

I'm getting there, just a couple more things to buy and presents to wrap, cards to write and knitting to finish. Here's where I am.

A cross stitch that my sister had done has been made into a cushion for her granddaughter 



I hope it's ok for her.

The Lacey shawl is nearing completion, about twelve inches of edging to do ....





In case you're wondering, the cushion cover was made by me. I saw one in a supermarket, T****o's, but couldn't justify paying the price so I appliquéd one. I'm proud of the finished result.


I also have another jumper to finish, another dinosaur one for a present. Photos of that later, I must crack on with everything. See you soon.
