Not mushroom for more jumpers

Some photos to remind myself that I haven't been doing absolutely nothing for the first fortnight of the year, although it does feel a bit like it. 

We have signed up for an organic vegbox again. My salary allows us the financial wiggle room to do this now and I think eating good organic food should probably be a priority if nothing else is. So far so good. We have also been able to order fruit and sourdough bread from riverford. It's too cold to start another sourdough at the moment and I don't tolerate bread very well at the best of times - which this is not. 

I made a jumper in the first week of the year. I actually bought the pattern a couple of months ago intending to make it for my Mum, but in the event the pattern was difficult to adapt to a size small enough for her, and the yarn came out a whole lot pinker than I had envisioned it. I will keep this one, although I'm not totally pleased with it, and am making her another which I am much happier with. It should be done within the week.

Little toadstools for Mum's jumper. These are so funny and whimsical I think I am going to have to include them in every garment I make this year. I just can't summon the enthusiasm for knitting that I can with crochet - it is so easy with crochet to make silly, playful little things. 

I am working on a pair of wristwarmers for my friend for Christmas - obviously a bit late. I've been intending to to them for ages of course, but with one thing and another. I should be able to do the other one tonight in time to see her later in the week I love this pattern, I have made them for somebody else before, and if I needed another pair, which I definitely don't, I would make them for myself. 

I thought I would have a bit more time than I do in the event to will have to leave it at that. Maybe using this blog again would give me a bit more oomph, I think I've lost my way a bit.
