I have been horribly remiss keeping this blog going of late. I notice with horror that September was my last post. And it isn’t as though I haven’t been busy! I’m buried under works in progress (*hangs head in shame*) and full of new ideas. I seem to have a discipline problem – must finish one of my eleventy-six WIPs before starting the next!<\/p>\n

So, in a mad scramble to bring myself up to date here, I am going to post a few pictures of works completed and works in progress and give myself a round telling off, coupled with threats of disciplinary measures if I don’t try to keep up a bit better.<\/p>\n

I have, however, been far more efficient at keeping my Instagram<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> pages more current, so if you fancy checking either out, I’d be delighted to see you there.<\/p>\n

So… first up, a commissioned Snuggle Bunny for my dear friend Clare. He is HUGE and contains a handmade wheat and lavender sack for microwave heating. Actually, come to think of it, he’s a she \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Clare1\"<\/a> \"Clare3\"<\/a> \"Clare5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I finally got around to making one for me, too. A slightly smaller cat, mine, with a flower granny square embellishment:<\/p>\n

\"me1\"<\/a> \"me2\"<\/a> \"me4\"<\/a> \"me5\"<\/a>My thanks to Bertie for modelling them <3
\nThese can be commissioned at cuddlecats.co.uk if you felt so inclined.<\/p>\n

It’s winter, so bobble hats have been flying off hooks and needles.<\/p>\n

\"bobble1\"<\/a> \"bobble2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I have finally got around to starting a long-promised blanket for my beloved:<\/p>\n

\"Square-flowers\"<\/a> \"Valentine's-blanket\"<\/a> \"Valentine's-blanket-3\"<\/a>It still has a way to go and I’m hoping to complete it by Valentine’s Day (gulp)…<\/p>\n

This little chap was fun to make – he’s a travelling sized version, still with wheat sack, in wool and bamboo:<\/p>\n

\"Travelling-4\"<\/a> \"Travelling-3\"<\/a> \"Travelling-2-insta\"<\/a> \"Travelling-2\"<\/a>And I’m designing a jumper. It’s a little short for my liking, so I’m going to have to get inventive about lengthening it, and I’m onto the sleeves, but prevaricating… I’ll get there:<\/p>\n

\"stripy-jumper\"<\/a> \"stripy-jumper2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Et voila! A selection of the latest.<\/p>\n

I will, I hope, see you again much sooner <3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
