Snoozing. And tits.

It's been a while since my last post - just tired and sore, mainly tired. And sore. Did I mention sore?

These have been made, and are waiting to be felted. They have been waiting to be felted for some time now .... one is hopefully destined to be written up as a pattern, the rest are 'parts' for assorted swaps. Hence the rubbish photo ;-)

My hands are really sore at the moment and very swollen so no felting today. Am snuggled in the big striped jumper I made a little while ago:

Absolutely unflattering (huge, soft, striped) but wonderfully snuggly and cosy - made in Rowan alpaca cotton so it is light and fairly warm. Lovely.
It is chuffing freezing here, not nice.

More knitting has been happening - I am completely addicted to these little things at the moment (which won't have helped my sore fingers). Can you tell what it is yet?

I am using a mishmash of yarns I have already - the blue is a Jamieson's Shetland Spinthrift 4ply, the white is good old Ethical Twist, the black is Wendy Merino. The first one was fine but the other two (told you I was hooked) look much better (I knit the black / white parts with the wools stranded, worked much better).

Worked it out yet?
No?
Here have another pic:

Here you go, right way up and half made:
Little blue tits (madam). Absolutely love knitting these!
I am also knitting these:


and doing a lot of cuddling with this:

Bless him. I get him out often so he can have some exercise, but all he has ever wanted to do when he is out is snuggle up, be stroked and sing. He is so sweet. And fat. And warm.
If I dare to stop stroking him, he licks me and nudges me until I start again.

I seem to have a LOT of partly made things, I really need to start finishing things soon. It is November, and certain swaps need posting before the end of this month. Yikes!

I never thought I'd write this on a blog, but those tits are amazing.

Hope you feel better soon xx
