Knitting and sewing and baking and love and a son and happiness

Welcome to the Sunday morning chill out!

At last I have done it... I have a free day to do as I please so I thought, I know, I'll create a Booteelicious blog. Been meaning to do this for an absolute age and at last, it has arrived!

Here's some background to me: I have been knitting since I was 5 years old when my Mum taught me. The addiction has developed gradually with a complete overdose in 2003 when I realised just how fabulous knitting really is. I have always been a knitter; there is always something on the needles, but it was only in 2003 that I realised just how important it was to me! Maybe it was something to do with being pregnant!!

Well, I'm now 41 and the "bump" is now 6 years old and 'sometimes' wears my creations, but I primarily knit for friends and their new babies. I have also had a go at a craft fayre which was a fantastic success and I loved every moment of it - a full weekend of knitting; heaven!

The Booteelicious Blog will be my opportunity to share what I am doing with like minded knitters. Some people don't leave home without their phone, lipstick or keys... I don't leave home without my knitting.... or phone, lipstick or keys. Friends are used to me turning up at their home with needles and a ball of some gorgeous yarn or another; so far I have encouraged 3 others to pick up the needles with fantastic results.

I hope you enjoy the Blog. It will be good to know what you think.
