crafts & knitting

tick, tock, tick, tock…

Time is ticking on. The shops are heaving with baubles and tinsel. Little children everywhere are already on page 3 of their christmas lists. Turkeys and crates of wine are being ordered. And I am running out of time to finish this lot!

It doesn’t matter how far in advance I start, it always feels like a rush to get the christmas batch of animals ready. They’re almost there, now I must fly and get those needles clicking again. Happy weekend all!

  2. I know exactly how you feel. I have so much to do and not nearly enough hours in the day. Add to that a cold that is seriously dragging me down…. But your latest lovely animals look so cute. Maybe this time I will be lucky enough to snatch one up before they sell out!

  4. My needles are clicking madly too , I recieved my wool today from the site you recommended so hopefully will be able to start with that in the next few days. Good luck with your clicking too. From what I can see so far they are all adorable – as always

  5. The snowflake sweater on the center Bear is just beautiful!
    I’ll have my eye on him in the next shop sale.
    Please stop for a cup of tea here and there and don’t worry, we can all wait a extra week if needed.

  7. Wow! How festive they all look. I just hope Santa visits your site….
    I visited a Christmas Market this afternoon and had a taster of (wait for it) Toffee Vodka – just the thing for sipping whilst knitting.
    Good luck,

  12. I just love your little knitted treasures.
    I plan to drop by your etsy shop everyday to make sure I get one for myself for xmas. The kids just wouldn’t appreciate it like I would LOL.
    Keep those needles clicking.

  13. Oh, Julie!
    I LOVE them! Are they going in your ETSY shop? I’m much too far away to stand in line waiting for the “doors” to open at your shop but, oh, how I wish! In one of my posts I talked about wishing I could knit…and this is exactly what I was talking about! Love your blog…
    Blessings,
