My new bug.

The sewing machine has not even been switched on this year....Isn't that bad!
Yes I am very behind on my bees and don't even start on my unfinished projects from last year.
 
But that doesn't mean that I haven't been doing anything. Yes I've taken up knitting. 
When my mum was over for Christmas I bought some knitting needles and had a quick little lesson and with her help picked out an easy pattern to start with.


Not bad for my first project, still have to sew it together though.

When I come home at night, I'm not one that can have dinner and then climb the stairs to my sewing room and start up the sewing machine.  I like to unwind, chill out, especially after dealing with 22  preschool children each day.
 
I didn't realise that knitting was so relaxing and I seem to have caught the knitting bug as I have started my second project.



And of course I have a fantastic bag for my knitting.  Thanks again to my Mouthy Stitches partner  Janet.


It all fits in nicely.

    I cannot knit. It will never be a second hobby for me, but I admire those who can.

    Good for you. I knit a bit weirdly as I'm left handed and never learnt properly. It is nice to have a variety of crafty hobbies. Di x

    I am so slow at knitting. My mum was a real whizz and could knit and watch tv all at the same time bless her, but me I have bags of small beginnings lurking in the loft. Keep up the great work

    I think your mom needs to travel a bit more and come teach me to knit. That is an incredibly cute first project! And after dealing with that many preschoolers all day, the only thing I would be picking up is a glass of wine!

    Ah, yes, the repetitiveness of knitting is very relaxing!
