to put my head up over the parapet?
Sorry for the lack of blogging the past few weeks have been the stuff of nightmares with problems and long, long hours at work; health issues; family issues and very little knitting!
I escaped briefly last week for the annual Liberty secret santa and had a magical evening with the Liberty kids - so wonderful to see Beth and sister Ellie, Hugo and Pete.
There has been very little xmas shopping which means a mad rush on xmas knitting - I'd said I was not doing any this year but my nieces phoned on Sunday and placed their requests. Six days to knit two lace boleros for a 4 + 7 year old - will I achieve it?
Posted by Yvonne at December 11, 2007 07:10 AMHope your schedule eases up! I'm trying not to do any Christmas knitting. I'm such a slow knitter, so I'm saving up finished projects to give out once enough are done, one family at a time - no deadlines.

Am not at Libertys tonight - a couple of nightmare journeys home this week and a planned late night mean I'm home writing my cards! Hope to see you next week if you get away... Take care!

Posted by: minnie at December 11, 2007 07:35 PMso sorry its been hectic and not good for you. Hope things improve soon. And yes you will get your knitting done in time for the ball:))

I keep hopping from one thing to another, have yet to decide if I'm doing anymore Christmas knitting!

And best of luck in knitting the lace boleros, it may be a bit of a struggle but you can't help putting the extra effort in for two little girls who so obviously adore your creations.
