WOYWW.....

Wow!  That was a short week  :-)

As you will have seen from my previous posts I have been AWOL for a few days but as you will know I couldn't be away without something crafty to do in my spare minutes so I have another couple of little knitties to share with you again today.

 I've knitted this one in double knitting and it's a really lovely soft spotty wool.  I have to admit I much prefer to knit the very tiny knitties in 4 ply now.  I think this one would suit a boy or girl.




This one was knitted in a lovely lemon 4 ply and is def one for a girl.  I really loved knitting this one and am desperate to find more really nice 4 ply wools to knit in.  They are all plain colours and I really love knitting in fleck or random yarns so if you know of any really nice ones please let me know.


I am still playing nursemaid for my eldest daughter.  She went to the Dr's last week and was put off work for a week with her hyperemesis [morning sickness that lasts all day and night!].  She was given little tablets to disolve in her mouth up the side her gum over about 2 hours to help ease the sickness.  She says they taste awful as they disolve but they seem to be helping a little and allowing her to keep a little food down now.  She is still very weak and has no energy so I'm really hoping her Dr puts her off for at least another week to recover properly before going back to school [and, yes, she is a teacher not a pupil  :-) ].  She says to thank you all very much for your suggestions and lovely comments.

I am now going to do my fav job......B******** curtains!  So I will be head down for a while and hope to catch up with as many of you as possible later. 


 Oh yes, and there is the little matter of a rail full of uniform jackets to hand sew badges, ranks and buttons on!  I sew for Shrewsbury school and this is my latest 'little' request.....lots and lots of hand sewing here for me.





Don't forget to pop over to the blog shop and get your name down for the last of the weekly gift draws before the BIG one [there is a set of desk accessories up for grabs today] before popping over to Julia's to join in the WOYWW fun.

    Oh dear that morning sickness sounds horrendous. Poor daughter. Hope things buck up for her soon.
    Lovely knitting, as always, and they look so cute being so tiny. Thanks for sharing (and for the sock boy last week)

    Morning sickness - I remember that well - horrible!
    Lovely cardigans.
    All that tough hand sewing - aren't they suppose to sew their own badges on...?

    Aw those darling little cardis - love the ballerina style one particularly! I really feel for Wipso Junior, it sure takes all of the fun out being pregnant; I'm with you Annie, she needs to be of work until she's glowing and raring to go.

    lovely little cardigan,

    I'm doing my course through Adult Eduction (local council equal ops) - check out your local offerings they are far better priced (equal ops element) than many art/craft courses done through other organisations...if you ever
    move to the peak district we will go together...

    Lovely cardi's Annie, sorry can't help with 4 ply wool - always thought 4 ply related to wooden planks (ha! like me! - duh). Hugs to your precious girl, hope she's feeling better soon, morning sickness is the worst! speak to you soon xx

    Love these teeny tiny knits - they are so cute.
    Hope your daughter is feeling a bit better now. Was lucky enough to only have had minimal morning sickness but having it all day must be very debilitating.
    No WOYWW for me today as ES has got the camera. so just catching up on RSS feeds

    I'm sure the GP will realise your daughter needs to feel much stronger to teach - has she got a caring Head? It makes all the difference but going back into your classroom is NOT like returning to many others jobs. Yeah, the pupils have been taught by the Head or a supply but it still takes some getting back into the swing of things so insist she insists on another few days off at least! Can you tell I was a teacher?

    Knitting or crochet with varigated or flecked yarn makes me crazy! There is always one spot, totally unpredicted, that has a clump of flecks, or a blotch of one colour, and that drives me MAD. I' been know to, quite often, rip back and break the yarn then re-attack at a different point to solve the problem. From the mess of my WOYWW you would never guess such random chaos would bug me quite so much - but yours are lovely, esp the little wrap-tied lemon one...like lemon sherbert!

    Thank you for taking the time out of your hectic life to visit my blog and leave a message. I don't know how you fit everything in, but they say you should always ask a busy person to do something. Those cardis are lovely, but I really have no idea where to go for wools these days. The shop I bought the 3 ply for the shawl has since closed down. You could have a look at Create and Craft as they are doing so much on knitting these days, and the demonstrator, Hayley, has her own shop called Little Lou's in Redditch. she used to have a website, but the link no longer works although the shop is still there.

    Hope your daughter soon feels a lot better. I quite agree with Shirl. As another former teacher, she needs to be fully recovered and full of energy before she thinks of going back to work.

    It seems ages since I came by your lovely blog, far too long by the looks of all the lovely things I've been missing.
    I hope you're daughter starts to feel a bit better soon, there can't be anything worse.
    Your little knits are gorgeous, is there anything you can't do!! lol.
    I've just been admiring all the things you've been making for your shop. Some gorgeous stuff by the way. Your desk tidy is just like one I brought back from a holiday in Austria. They use them for bread rolls but they're not wipeable, yours are great!! I wish you loads of success with it all.

    I just knew your empty rail last week wouldn’t stay that way for long!

    Bet you could do without all that while you’re still looking after your daughter. Thought she might have been over the worst by now but obviously not. Hope she’s feeling better soon.

    Love the cute knitting, I haven't done any of that for years. I used to do it while watching the TV of an evening but now I cross stitch.

    Thanks for stopping by this week and leaving me a message.
    Have a great crafting week!

    Such lovely little knitted cardis. I understand the uniform sewing thing too, I topped-up our Military income sewing and mending uniforms before we had kids and retired to a busier life.
