It's been a while.

Well as expected spending a fortnight visiting my dad and the in-laws left me with about 10 minutes to knit the whole time.

I never got around to crocheting the scarf but I found a nice knitted pattern and am working on that instead, needs about an hours work to finish it off. Also I've started work on this chunky hooded sweater in this
http://www.purplelindacrafts.co.uk/james-c-brett-marble-chunky-yarn-mc4-flamingo-5481-p.asp though mine has more cream in it than that ball shows. I'm planning to make embellishments for it with some remnant fabric.

Oh yeah when it comes to crafting my year was made by the in-laws buying me a Singer Traditional sewing machine, it's got the exact same settings as my dad's one but without the concrete so I can actually lift it!

Anyway, I do plan to pick up the 30 day challenge where I left off, but I can cheat as one of my current projects is a squares blanket made of "Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky" because I have about 20 half balls from when my mum was teaching me to knit in 2002/03. So a lot of days will just be squares lol.
