My main Christmas craft difficulty (apart from lack of time - obviously there's never enought time) is that I'm struggling to make secret gifts for my partner and younger daughter who lives at home. I'm considering using work lunch breaks (total three hours per week) otherwise I'll have to lock myself in the bathroom. What does everyone else do?
love this fairisle - and such a fab raspberry colour! I say knit in public, squeeze a few rows in wherever you can; on the bus, in the pub, meeting a friend for coffee. :) x
ReplyDeleteI've got my own office/Crafts room, where I store gifts and retire to make stuff. Sometimes I also use the large dining room table, early on Sat/Sun morning, when the BF is still asleep. That gives me several extra hours for crafting. But my room is the best, I can leave stuff lying around. ^^
ReplyDeleteI hide in a room (not the bathroom, though!). Maybe you could ask your partner to take the younger daughter out for a few hours so you can work on their gifts? Definitely remind them to call when they're on their way back, though!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the colour and pattern - where is the pattern from?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I live by myself so can't help, I have projects lying around everywhere!
The pattern is taken from Alice Starmore's book of Fair Isle Knitting
