I have been spectacularly bad at blogging of late. Sorry. Half term is one of those busy times - I had planned on doing so much knitting, getting so much finished and not casting anything else on... Well, the thought was there wasn't it?
I have finished something though. My nephew wanted a cushion to match one I made him years ago. So I have made one of my Christmas presents. Hooray for me! I did this very quickly because it's in the truly hideous Sirdar Foxy . A horror to knit with, a horror to feel and it squeaks so much. I shall have to educate said nephew in the delights of Posh Yarn. He really needs serious help I feel!

Had to go clothes shopping this week - my clothes are all now huge and look very stupid. Strange how I couldn't button up the trousers a few months ago - now they just fall down! Although it feels very good, it's a double-edged sword and is costing a small fortune. But never mind eh?
Must go and make a gruesome pudding now. I think it will have to be something green and monstrous just for Halloween. Youngest son wants strawberry jam 'blood' incorporated somewhere in it. He used to be so nice...

Your golden wedding blanket is splendid, Michaela. I wish I could knit such a beautiful square but for now, it is not the case: I still have to learn fair isle knitting. Have a nice Halloween! xx

I wish I shared your loose-clothing problem...perhaps we could trade wardrobes?
Looking forward to the development of the mystery project! I have an idea, but will wait and see :)
That does look like a very snuggly cushion, even if it was a pain to knit. I crocheted a bunny once with the very same wool and it nearly killed me.
I've been away too, hence no weighing. I dread to think what will await me when I do, but let's just say I don't share the falling down trousers problem ...
Love the blankets.I have signed up for the 2010 mystery blanket.Hope I can cope.
I am really enjoying watching the progress on the Golden Wedding blanket. It is going to be a terrific gift. Congratulations on the weight loss. Enjoy getting some new clothes (you're worth it).
love the flower design and can't wait to see the mystery knitting!
