Giving

Giving:  the transfer of something without the expectation of receiving something in return...



I really love this sweet little pair of fingerless gloves and I hope that a certain 6 year old will too!

While the weather is probably starting to get a little too warm for gloves, hopefully there will still be a few cold mornings when they can be worn on the walk to school.


I know I've said it before, but I get a real kick out of giving handmade presents; I think it just means that little bit more when the recipient (or in this case, the recipient's Mum!) knows that I have spent time and effort crafting away and creating something lovely just for them!

In other knitting updates... I'm still working on the purple moss stitch baby blanket that I posted a photo of a few weeks ago. I've finished the body of the blanket and am just finishing the edging. I've also started knitting a teddy bear to donate to the Softies for Mirabel campaign; if you're able to make a toy of any sort then you should jump on board as well. You could knit, sew or crochet, anything would be OK, as long as you can do one of these things then I think you should join in! Go on!
