AJuff Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 My free wool and scarf patterns came from the Rowan club today. Anyone else got theirs? Both scarf patterns are lush and i don't know which one to make!!! I want to knit and sew all day but it's time to start making dinner. Anyone else feel life gets in the way of crafting?

bigmommasally Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I want to knit and sew all day but it's time to start making dinner. Anyone else feel life gets in the way of crafting? Definitely!!!! I got a lovely new sewing machine yesterday and was happily playing on it until - hubbie popped his head round the door at 7.45pm and said "Are you making any dinner tonight or should I get something?" Poor love was starving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 What machine did you get Sally? Mine broke yesterday so gone for repair £58 + parts Lucky I have a back up. The evening should be longer so I can carry on crafting. Its always time to go to bed when I am on a role. Can anyone arrange for another day in the weekend please What are these scarf patterns then?

bigmommasally Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 What machine did you get Sally? A Husqvarna, she's loveeeleeee I'm saving up for a Horn Cabinet now so we can have the dinning room table back. Sorry yours has broke, poor thing is probably in need of a little rest. Ajuff - sorry have gone off your original topic - but would love to see the scarf you make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'd love to show you the scarf I knit but I think someone will get there before me!! I am still finishing off a quilt for my niece (May 2001!!) and a green crotchet cardigan I started at the beginning of the summer. I don't want to start anything new just yet!!! Also I have just got a new sewing machine too!! A Janome machine which is lush compared to my old Brother machine. I think a metal body makes all the difference really.

Plum Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 We'll have to see the stitches you've cast on then. Can't talk I've been making a scarf on big needles and less than 20 stitches for about 2 years. I have er several quilts not finished, quite a few cross stitch projects and I moan at my OH for not getting jobs done. All these new machines! Should be lots of projects to display soon, we'll need a Omlet craft exhibition at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivihen Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes. I thought that when retirement age arrived I would have SO much time but with three other adults in the house all working different shift patterns the day is full of interruptions. A Husqvarna, she's loveeeleeee I'm saving up for a Horn Cabinet now so we can have the dinning room table back. I first bought a Husqvarna thirty-one years ago, which I gave to my daughter when I bought a new one. Sometimes I regret that decision althought the old one is metal and quite heavy it is still going strong and standing up to some quite rough treatment!
