well at last I have finished the yellow loop cardi, i will post pictures later and now started a pink jacket with hood like the green one with cable at front
I know I have loads of wool but Aldi have some coming in on Sunday that seems good value so going to look to see if any suitable for things I have in mind to make. 

The main thing we have been doing is getting everything out of lounge & hall only thing in it at present are chairs and TV, carpets all up, gave lounge one away on free cycle but hall took to tip, floor doesn't need repairing thank goodness, so only 4 days to wait before fitter comes to lay new wood flooring

haven't done much Knitting this week

I have been busy clearing bathroom and then putting everything back after having floor tiled and also clearing Lounge & Hall ready for having a wood floor laid in just over a week, doing it bit by bit trying to find places to put everything out of the way for 2 weeks but all carpets have to be up next week so fitter can make sure floor is OK and not in need of any levelling or repair which has to be done a few days before wood can be put down
so looking forward to getting everything finished and be able to get on with crafting again as I cant get in to use anything in my room at present But will be well worth the upheaval   

still i have managed to make back fronts & one sleeve of a loop cardigan that I have been asked for, making this one in pale yellow

a day sorting out my craft room

we have swapped rooms around so i have been sorting all my wool and pattens, card making, sewing and other craft things out. The hardest thing was deciding on where everything is to go,
My husband now knows how much wool I have, so i had better knit faster  
even with the bigger room I am still having a job finding homes for everything :D

Having said that tonight I have managed to make a pair of booties & 1 front of a lace matinee jacket as part of a set whic will have booties, jacket, bonnet & mits it is in cream DK which i find a warmer look than white yet still match with any colour way , i am making size 16" so about 3 to 6 months
