Variety is the spice of life

Crafting is currently taking the form of knitting and cross stitch in equal quantities - depending what's on the TV. I'm finding knitting takes more concentration - probably because I'm not used to it - so will only do for TV programmes I don't have to really 'watch'. And I'm enjoying the cross stitch a bit more too, which is great.

In fact, here's a fair bit more done on Shores.


And here's my second knitting project - a shawl/scarf for my mum. She's so hard to buy presents for, so knitting her something is ideal. I get the fun of buying lovely wool and creating something, and I have a present she'll like at the end. The wool is Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend and the pattern is Saroyan (I love Bones and couldn't resist!)

  10. Shore is looking lovely. I really like your knitting project. When we get settled in Austin, I'm going to pick up knitting again. I like the color of your mother's scarf.
