Its a whole New Year

I just had a read of my last post on here and it made me laugh quite a lot! It is now the beginning of February and months have past since i was last on this blog.  The reason the last post made me laugh though is because the elephant is still unfinished, in fact has not been touched at all, and ted is still headless, but has now got a face at least.  The patchwork bag is coming along nicely, but is unfinished as well :( I think i need help - is there a support group for people who start lots of craft things and don't finish any of them???????

Something has happened though, I actually finished something today!!!!! I started to knit a wee doggy jumper to auction off for one of the charities i have decided to support and try to do some fundraising for.  I only started it about a week ago, and I liked it so much that i thought i would do another one in a different colour.  I started the 2nd one a few days ago and have still a bit of knitting to do on it but hopefully i will get that finished very soon as well!

I was so pleased with myself for finishing the first one i even took some photos - i know don't die of shock now will you?? LOL!


This is the doggy jumper believe it or not - looks a bit odd from this angle, like a hot water bottle cover!! But no this is the top view.


This pic shows the other side - as you can see there is a wee belly flap bit that buttons up to keep the wee soul warm! 


This pic shows the belly flap bit unbuttoned and you can also see the shaping for the legs to go through.  I did try the jumper on a wee doggy soft toy i have but it was much too small for the jumper hahahaha! 


Will have to add some more pics very soon - might do some photo progress reports on the other things i'm working on at the minute otherwise it might take a while for me to post anything more!
