Hello friends,
This is who I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks, his name is Pickles the Cat and I’m almost finished making him. He is one of the largest designs I have written and I’m rather enjoying the process. I wasn’t sure about adding arms and legs but after asking on Facebook, everyone suggested ears, eyes, a tail and whiskers, so that is what I’ll do.
I will be opening the test knit up soon on my Ravelry group and there will be 10 spots available. A few knitters have already offered to test knit but there are still a few spots open.
Here are some details:
Pickles is knitted with a 100 gram skein of dk yarn on circular needles in the round. His tail is also knitted in the round with the Magic Loop, oh yes, and he’s loads of fun to knit!
On another note, I have decided to try and get fitter, I’ve been walking every morning with my good friend Sue, we try and walk about 5.5 km per day and it’s going really well. It’s also wonderful because we have time to speak about things that are on our minds and it’s a lovely one hour, just for ourselves before we go home to our families for the day. I think it’s very important to take a little time out of each day for oneself, just a little moment and then I can return to my family refreshed and ready to face the day:)
What special moments do you take out of each day to nurture yourself, I would love to hear about them.
