This past week I decided to concentrate on some of my other hobbies besides scrapping and quilling. I got caught up on my DT work so felt that it was time to focus on stuff that had been a little neglected too.
So my first thought was to tackle a little bit of knitting.... I scoured the internet for some free patterns, found some wool in my cupboard and then decided I needed a few extra colours, so a trip to the shops was planned. I bought four balls of wool and came home and started playing.
Of course with knitting you supposed to make a square to test your tension, well I didn't I just made a square and then a matching one and turned them into some fingerless gloves:

Now that I decided on my stitches and needles I started with the project that I actually bought the wool for... I'm making a poncho. So this was how far I had gotten by Tuesday:

Then in amongst this all I also tried a little bit of sewing. I spent most of the weekend unpicking a jacket that was a but snug and then cut some panels to sew in. I started playing with this and then it sat for a few days:

Finally got time to finish my jacket:

Now that the sewing bug bit, I cut out a pajama top and bottoms and sewed it all together on Friday. This was an impulse purchase when I was buying the wool... just saw the bolt of blue material on the pile by the material table and had to buy it! Now I have lovely snuggly warm pjs for winter.

So now that I've sewed and knitted I also decided to do some baking. Again sometimes baking is very successful and at others not so much. This recipe for cinnamon biscuits was one I had found a while back but not yet tried, so on Saturday I made them. The mixture was too sticky so I had to add extra flour then as it still wasn't the right consistency to roll into balls, I just pressed it into a tray to bake and then cut squares. They taste ok but not something I will repeat.

My final share for this week it just progress on my knitting project... I'm about halfway ...200 rows of a 400 row pattern. Will see how it looks when the pattern is done and maybe add a few more rows to make the poncho.

And so that was my crafty week... lots of other crafts to share and love. There are only 9 days left of this 100 days... wonder what I will do once it's over?
