My blog as been very lonely, I haven't crafted for ages. WHY? Well, do you ever get that feeling, where every creative inch of you has been sucked out by life? Well, thats me at the minute. I am desperate to shake off this negative feeling, but just can't. Hence, I have had nothing to blog about. I am going to have a look round your blogs to see what you have been up too. Its not just crafts its life!

Any idea of how I am going to get out of this would be great.

shoulder wrap!

Well finally my friends christmas present is ready, Heres the shoulder wrap to match the hat. I love it! I think I want one myself.

The pattern is a drops pattern which I found on raverly. The yarn again drops and I really like the way it knits. I would recommend !

I completed a full set the pattern had no MItts so I designed some wristwarmers myself using the cable and I think it just completes the set.

Its all packed, will give her it tomorrow hope she likes it.

OK so I have a broken Camera. It won't focus, after my lovely daughter got sand in it at the beach. Hence, its been quiet here in Knitz and Bitz land. But we're still here and still working.....HARD. Oh yes and reading your blogs.

I don't think you can see the cables and bobbles but...its cosy

A quick post to tell you all about Creative Connections Not only is it a place where you have a forum, Blog, Can join with Groups but there is a live and busy chat room. This little piece of the net, has quickly become a meeting place among crafters. The only way I can describe it is a friendly and similar to Raverly, but for everycraft.

So have a look and see what you think. Creative Connections

Heres some bit people are making.
