I would also just like to mention that today was my Grandads funeral. It was a lovely service, so I would like to say thank you to the funeral directors, who did an excellent job and remind my nan and family just how much I love them xxx

DAL Design Idea

Hey Guys!

Now I've finished my Project Yarnway design I've had a chance to sit down and come up with a design idea for the Design Along group (DAL) I joined on Ravelry as well (I've got the designing bug!).

The theme for the Summer Challenge is Gardens

I submitted this picture as my inspiration:

And then came up with Cherry Blossom Gloves as my design Idea. They are a bit difficult to explain so I'll let my sketch mainly do the talking :)

There basically fingerless gloves based around a triangle shape with little crochet cherry blossoms on the front.

I'm going with making the Cherry blossoms and gloves from a light pink yarn. Possibly some dark pink yarn for the middle of the flowers along with some little beads in the centre too to add extra detail :)

Now its just down to buying the yarn (I've only got a little bit of light ) and starting to knit!!! After working out tension etc... first of course :)

I have a while though as the designs aren't due till the 25th August so they will definitely be finished!

I LOVE DESIGNING! :D

See you all soon,

bye xxx

I achieved alot today.....

Well firstly I climbed a mountain!

Snowdon in Wales to be exact.

Its the second time I've climbed it now, before I climbed it on a geography field trip but this time I did it with my family :) Its 1085m tall and we managed to walk allllll the way up and down in about 4 hours. It was hard on the way up and I ache now but you get a real sense of achievement so its definitely worth it :0) I even managed to knit a row of my latest project at the top!

 Here is a pic I took on the way down:

Also I am pretty much finished with my bag of inspiration for the Project Yarnway runway tomorrow! YAY :D

I'm sooo pleased with how its come out! I can't wait to enter it into the competition :0)

See you all again soon,

Bye xxx :)
