My knitting wool, buttons, and other accessories stash is ever growing, I cannot resist adding to it even though I don't really need any more
( I am sure many of you will relate to this).
I do, however, love to see my grandchildren in hand knitted garments, and feel proud of what I have achieved. I also love a cable design on my knitting. I love to knit for my two grandsons Alex (4) and Theo (8).
What did I used to do to fill my spare time before I caught the knitting bug. One of my other pastimes is to crochet.
I managed a cot blanket on my first attempt at crochet. I have also received knitting looms as a birthday present so I made a few hats with them !! I still prefer to knit though and love to see Alex and Theo in the finished garments 😀
