Knitting thank you

Thank you for your knitting advice. I think I knew I would have to undo, but I was in denial. Anyway, I pulled it undone and started again, carefully making sure the row was straight this time.


Very happily discovered yesterday that I can knit in the car! Mr 16 needed driving practice so I sat in the back knitting all the way to Bathurst and back. Hubby is very pleased because he thinks it raises his chances of driving across the Nullarbor!

Over the long weekend Mr 13 was at a loose end so I commissioned a woodwork project. This is the prototype of my new cotton reel holder. It's a tad wide, but certainly does the job. I was very impressed that he did it all by himself.


I am trying out yet another blogging app today after my troubles last week. Looking ok so far. Hope you had a lovely weekend, with lots of sewing time.

  5. I think you will be able to hire your boys out soon to the neighbours when they need a chauffeur and a handyman! Love the cotton reel holder....if he glues a strong magnet on the other side it will hold your scissors...just in case he is up to making version 2!

  7. I'm glad you've sorted out your knitting - I thought you could have left the twist in it being a cowl but you wouldn't have been happy. Love your cotton reel holder - very clever son.

  11. Mr 13 was very creative with the cotton reel holder. Maybe some knitting with a lighter cotton for the Nullarbor trip. But for the winter the cowl looks just the thing. Happy knitting.

  13. I'm presuming your husband was sitting in the front while you knitted in the back - not a bad way to catch up on driving hours, family chat time and some knitting.

  14. Yes, you should drive across the Nullabor - it's a great must do Aussie experience. I loved it and managed to sew hexies along the way.
