Not much cross stitch going on at the moment.  The living room has been turned upside down whilst we clean and re-arrange everything.  Which means my stitching chair is unreachable, but that’s ok as I have been knitting up a storm!

I decided that it was time I taught myself how to knit cables, and what better project to knit in the middle of a hot summer?  Fingerless gloves  It’s not so bad, turn the air-con on and you can dance around and pretend it’s almost winter!

Ok, it’s still too hot to wear them.  And the ladies at my local craft group that I belong to were dubious that I would even be able to wear them in winter (”It doesn’t get that cold here” they said) however, they haven’t been in my house and experienced the frigid temperatures of a house designed to stay cool in summer, and therefore freezing in winter!

Either way I love them and will be wearing them when winter arrives!  To prove my point Jessica insisted I knit her up a pair as well.  So a lovely blue pair is currently on my needles.  She already has a pair of the  toasty gloves:

But the cabled ones are a little more dressy!
