Days 8 & 9 completed!
Had hoped to get 10 done as well but was feeling really sleepy for a while.

Got a bit stuck yesterday. Everytime I settled down to get on with it this happened!
Yes, Bijou is super cute, but she's really not super helpful! 🤣

Day 7
Yesterday: If I can get two done a day I can be caught up at the weekend. But wont push it!
I got 1.5days done so not awful; but my focus still isn't quite enough to stick with it for long at a time.

Day 6
Look! Little sheepies!
This one's made me happy 😊
And not at all a seasoned stranded colourworker... and yet somehow the few rows with 3colours seemed to gall into place comfortably. Beginners luck!
The recommendation was to duplicate stitch the faces

Day 5
This was starting to feel less than fun through this part. Just cos I'm fed up of being ill and so far behind.
So.. I'm also taking a moment to look at the piece as a whole so far and enjoy what I've acheived 😊
And.. there are some cute patterns coming up, so will keep on!

Days 2 and 3
I have not done the felting, and I have not opened any more.
Thinking I may pick this back up in January instead.

Day1 of 🧶 Advent
#needlefelting - a little underwhelming, but absolutely crucial: safety first.
#knitting - only got through r3 of 8 of todays pattern so not enough to show off yet. So, instead, gaze upon the pretty colours of jamieson spindrift and todays cute extras!

Thanks for your replies 😊
This particular yarn is one of those thick/thin yarns with parts tightly spun/twisted and other where it is not, at all.
But I have others incl mohair & angora, etc blends.
Fabric shaver may go on the xmas list!

So far so good- got 10 rows of rib done last night
The tiny circs still feel a bit clumsy but I'm settling back into it. Norwegian knits and sort of Russian purls.
Row 1: "std" R-purl, yarn held in front.
Row2+: yarn behind, work through back loop & pull yarn through R style

🧶 knit on hold
So this stalled cos I was pretty snotty through Oct. I did split for the armholes but struggling with the slog of the body. Hence my super chunky instant knit!
On returing, I've decided to switch direction so its mostly knit sts now.
But will be working more on other projects
