Brain drain

Before I had children I used to think that I was a reasonably intelligent person with the ability to simultaneously have a coherent conversation whilst secretly thinking about what to cook for dinner that night. These days I am beyond help and can’t even carry on a conversation without getting sidetracked – see I’m waffling now. Anyway, for a few days I’ve been thinking about dusting off some christmas ideas from last year. So today I rummaged through my work boxes for a pattern that I had designed and found 3 versions of it. I’ve now had to spend all morning knitting up each pattern to work out which was the final perfected design. And the morale of the rambling story is: BE MORE ORGANISED!

So here are some samples of what I’m aiming for – little Knitted christmas tree stockings to fill with goodies (choccy coins and tiny gifts). I’m also planning to write it down in meaningful knitting language and post it on my blog as a free pattern. So if anyone out there fancies trying it out – watch this space!

  1. Yes count me in to try and knit some too, but you will provide on-line counselling when we get stuck, right??!!! Or maybe its easier for me to just buy some from you?
