About Me

My Photo
Hello and welcome. My name is Julie,I am a mum and Grandmother with 2 children who are now old enough to care for themselves. Which leaves me more time to knit and sew. I have a lovely rescue dog called Bonnie. I do suffer from crohn's disease which keeps me at home some of the time. But I have plenty of love & support from my partner an family. Knitting is what I love most,I design little knitted pincushions & a few knitted toys too. I do cross stitch,embroider, I am also learning too patchwork. Really I am an all round crafty person.

BIG KNITTED GOLDFISH


Hi everyone, How are we all? Its a nice mild day today here in my part of the UK, so I enjoyed a good walk with Bonnie this morning.
Its been a little hectic these past weeks, looking after my grand daughter and my son's health is not to good. So even though my blog posts are not as often as I wish, I still want to share something with you when I can. Even if its just to keep me sane.
Sooooooo, here is my super size goldfish,
he is super big, and soft, and cuddly. It's just that he is so big I found it hard to pick a good position for the photo.


Is he better like this doing a nose dive or,
flat on his side. I can tell you one thing he took so long to knit with it being st,stitch, but I am happy with the smooth look. Let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you.
I think I mention in a previous post that I would show you a crochet baby blanket, but silly me took the picture then sent the parcel  to my Nephew and forgot to save the picture in my file so I cannot show you that project. I don't know, but for now I think my next project is not going to be so big but something a little smaller for a change.

So till then enjoy your week. Bye for now.  Julie x
