#69 Pink Scarf Project

As I mentioned in a previous post I have decided to join in the Pink Scarf Project, this is a year long event which ends this October and the idea is you create or buy a Pink Scarf.

As Vicki from 2 Bag Full has put it;

Simply stated - it has only one goal~ 

 To bring a smile to the face of a woman who is fighting her own battle with breast cancer. 

With this in mind I ordered some yarn last weekend which arrived on Friday, so yesterday I stitched them up and I am glad to say they are now finished!

They both stitched up so fast even for me who is a very VERY basic knitter, these would be a doddle for any of you pro knitters out there.

So much so I may knit a few more up over the year and send some more off! :)

#66 - A Busy Postman!

This week has been bizarre, I don't know where most of it went and other than the YOTA piece which I can't show you until next Saturday I have not touched any stitching! Fingers crossed that will change today once I have read through all the blog posts I need to catch up on - I have even been lazy with that this week!

Normally I have a routine, I come home from work, get changed, turn on my computer, decide what we are having for dinner, prep dinner and while that is cooking I sit down and read through the days bloggings. Even this went out of the window this week.

But, I have made progress of sorts, I decided to join the Pink Scarf Project (a link also to the left of my blog) and have since ordered two lots of yarn for two scarves, I figure I will commit to just two at the moment and see how my time goes as it is a year long project.

McKenna is also holding a monthly giveaway - these cute little Octopi! You can see a photo to the right of my blog, she is giving away one every month so I suggest you sign up, they are so adorable!

Poor Mr Postman has been ever so busy this week, and up until today our Street was still 30cm deep with snow with a thick layer of ice underneath, a lethal combination! But he made it here with more acquisitions to my stash ;) hehehe.

Along with all this I was the lucky winner of a Travelling Pattern! Once Vickie had completed the pattern it made its way to me - I am the 22nd person to stitch this and it is great to see all the amazing places it has visited so far!

Once I have finished it I will be passing it on to another lucky stitcher so keep your eyes peeled it you are interested ;)

Vickie was also so sweet to include a little gift for me, four gorgeous pins, thanks Vickie!

In other news I have decided to join Weight Watchers, last time I did I lost 35lbs so I know it works for me, I have our Summer Holiday and My Brothers wedding this year so that is plenty of motivation. But to just add a little more I have made an agreement with myself that every 7lbs I lose I can treat myself to some new stash, a chart or some fabric etc...any excuse ;) hehehe. So far I have lost 3lbs, a long way to go yet :)

I will post again tomorrow with whatever stitching progress I get done today, other than chores it is all I have planned!


Have a great Sunday everyone!
