I have become quite addicted to knitting, and found inspiration in Laura Ashley a couple of months ago, where they were selling cable knit cushions for £55!!! I thought to myself "I could do that for much cheaper!" It turns out that yes, I can do it for much cheaper... but if you were to pay me by the hour it would end up costing you a LOT more than £55. Perhaps I'll get a bit faster with practice!
I made this for my mum to have in her living room, and I think it's a fairly good match! It's very satisfying to have been so productive with my evenings.
I also made this little Mary Jane shoes for
Olivia. I got this wool from the pound shop to practice on so they are not that great quality, but it's nice to know the patterns work out well!
Incase anyone is interested, I get my patterns from Ravelry.com . It's a website from which you can get free patterns (and some not-free ones too!) And also knitting advice and information. It's great!
And finally, a chocolate and vanilla buttercream cupcake, made for Isabelle's 2nd birthday party today. I just took this picture before I ate it for my pudding. It was fairly tasty, and very sweet. Perfect for a little girls birthday!

Wow! I love the cushion! And the shoes! Amazing! I wish I could knit. Mum tried to teach me but I was rubbish so she gave up!
Don't give up! Try again, this is the third time I've taken up knitting... :-)
