wednesday 1st Feb
So I've finished the 2 sides of the Jo Sharp vest - my initial panic that it looked too small is diminishing now - it looks OK.
Seaming Jo Sharp rare Kid Mohair ... well - I have a feeling if my true [expletive] feelings on this were to be typed here alarms would go off at the IT department... Its a biatch, let's just leave it at that. There is some random hole which isn't a dropped stitch that needs tugged and sorted with a crochet hook, but the mohair is subbornly fused and giving me it's defiant little middle finger in triumph at my hapless efforts ... grr!
Anyway - hopefully a smiling photo of me wearing the 'little treasure' in the next couple of days will help me to forget the pain of this!
What else - an absolute determined effort to finish ALL WIPs before moving on... although when I couldn't get the SnB meet yesterday [thanks the to Subway being suspended? anyone know what that was about?] I ended up staying at work and waiting for the boy to get me.
"I'll knit while I wait" thought I ... $24 dollars later I have purchased some delicious merino bulky - see pic above from handpaintedyarn.com . I can't wait to get it!!
Well that's me - I've been knitting some iPod shuffles for a Craftster swap and am waiting for the girl to get them - I hope she likes them!

Craftster swap armwarmers
She wanted black and florescent pink armwarmers so I made these for her - hope she likes them!!
tuesday 24th jan
Yeah - My mum suggested some embroidery technique to create a hole - which would be fine if it was just for me.
But because I'm selling them I couldn't do it - I want them to be as good as I can make them - and that 'fake' hole would bug me.
I'm still knitting my vest instead - taking a bit more of a break from the iPod covers at the moment - knitting with cotton can be hard going...

Monday 23rd Jan
I had a lovely crafty weekend - I finished the armwarmers that I was making for a Craftster swap - I took pics, but will have to wait tiil tonight to upload them.
At Stitch n Bitch on sunday at the Tramway I worked on my mp3 covers. I was able to finalise the pattern for the Sanyo mp3 player to sell on my website soCherry - big thank you Kathleen! (Once they are up on the site you are more than welcome to request a free one as thanks).
I also just double-checked my iPod Nano covers on Nicola's Nano - All was well and good til she mentioned that the headphone socket comes out of the bottom ... a fact I hadn't realised...
Thank goodness I hadn't sold any yet, but now I have to frog them all back (about 15!) and add the headphone socket hole. Was v. sad about it yesterday and so ignored them for the rest of the day in favour of working on a personal project - my jo sharp mohair vest top instead. (2/3rds of front finished - pics to follow)
Will confront the pain of frogging after work today but I have had to extend the dates that I said these would be available on my site. Bugger!
I have also started selling on Etsy - a fabby crafty 'sell your wares' site. Everything must be handmade. It costs $0.10 to list something that will stay up for 6 months (or until sold) + 3.5% of any sale made.
At the moment I am selling in the UK only (as Business Gateway haven't got back to me yet re; selling internationally and the Inland Revenue's 'brief' guide is 55 complicated pages long!) but hoping to expand to international sales soon!
Check it out one and all - it's a delicious site, and buying handmade will make you feel good inside :)
Happy knitting folks!

Thanks for visiting me people :)
I was at Mandors last night getting some supplies for a Craftster swap (and supplies for another attempt at a sewing knitting bag for myself!) and I got chatting to Denise - who recently posted on meetup about their enlarging yarn collection.
It's expanded since the last time I was there, and she's ordered Rowan, Noro and Louisa Harding I think.
It's so good to see independent shops embracing knitting as I would much rather my hard-earned cash went into local business than chain stores.
Although (going off on a tangent) I was in John Lewis's last week waiting for a friend [who was 1 hour late causing me to spend approx £40 on yarn supplies!] and I got chatting to the Rowan consultant - who let me sit at her table and knit my new supplies. Another project on the needles....
She was lovely and hopefully should come along to the Sunday meet. I was chatting to Kathleen at the last meet about the difficulty I have had in getting advice from John Lewis staff however I hadn't really spoken to this woman before. So I revoke my previous statement about unknowledgable J. Lewis staff as she was most helpful :)
Gonna stop typing for a bit - got iPod seaming to do *sigh* seaming blows!
My granny showed me a much better technique when I was back in Elgin last weekend, but it doesn't work for iPod covers. But my other projects will benefit greatly - thanks granny!!

Happy new year!!
It's been knitting crazy, so much so that my usual blogging time at lunch has been taken over by a combination of website maintenance and seaming!
I have internet access at home at last tho, so should be about a bit more.
For Christmas I got £30 of vouchers for www.k1yarns.com from my lovely [long-suffering!] boy and SnB knitters journal from my folks.
Spent New Years Day cataloguing my needles, yarn and on the needle projects to add to my journal. It was great fun! I suppose it's the librarian in me!
I'm working on armwarmers in florescent pink and black for a craftster swap - in return I'm receiving some black armwarmers with flames running up them [a-la Jesse's flames from SnB] for the boy. Intarsia sucks and he's been harping on about them for an age!
Although at last nights meet Lilith kindly cleared the mud of intarsia for me so I may try it again. Thanks :)
It was a lovely evening (as all SnB meets are) at Mono seeing everyone for the first time this year. Laura had smoke coming off her needles, while Lilith is working with [virtually] long pins and teeny-tiny lace yarn for Arisaig from knitty.com
And then a yarn fairy appeared! The woman from Mr Benn's next door gave us a bag of odds n ends yarn which we had our heads in before she had even exited Mono! Thanks so much kindly yarn fairy :)
All in all a lovely night.
Starting to plan for the next SECC yarn/stitch heaven on March 9th. My mum is coming and we are going to have hedonistic mother-daughter crafty heaven! The boy is delighted to learn that he will only be serving as a taxi this time round, and not have to enter!

Friday 25th Nov
So it's pretty much non-stop trying to get everything organised - I have about 15 iPod covers awaiting my [2nd batch!] of woven labels to arrive. [1st batch were too wide - live and learn]
But last night when i got home from work the pom-pom maker that I had ordered from artofyarn [eBay] only the day previous was sitting on the mat awaiting my return.
So I made a pom pom and packaged it up as a Christmas decoration - £1.65. It's all done and my first official sell-able item! Yay!
Everything has become about this stall - I eat drink sleep think this stall. the 101 million things that need organising to pull this off in a professional manner - this time next week it'll be over (til the 24th market). I'll have done my first ever stall - and no matter how it goes -whether I sell everything or nothing I'll be happy I'm sure.
It's a huge leap for me to do something so confident. I'm terrified out of my mind, and since leaving home/school and realising that no-one can make me do anything I don't want to - i have pretty much adopted the attitude of doing nothing that scares me. (Hence office secure job - nil satisfaction, maximum security.)
Am sitting here eating pick n mix - think the e-numbers getting in my head and making me 'deep'. will stop for a cherry cola bottle and publish this...

Thursday 10th November
So I've been working on getting my stuff together to sell at a creative Saturday market in Glasgow.
I have to be ready by the 3rd December - there's so much to do! I have been working on my website www.socherry.co.uk
every time I think something's covered it grows another head!
iPod covers are the first thing I plan to sell - and possibly cushion covers too.
There's the tax man ... and all of that.
Stuff to buy: Receipt books, carrier bags, rubber stamps with my logo on, accounts books, packaging, display stuff, business cards, and so on and so on ad nauseum.
So I may not be about a lot at the moment ...

The Craftster Craft Challenge
...was to make something new and original with an old pair of jeans. Well it may not be the most original thing, but it was new to me. And I didn't just cut the legs off and make a bag out of that - I did deconstruct the jeans entirely and make a bag trying to be imaginative.
Lining - pockets and everything! See Bella project inside!
Button used as fastening for top of bag!
Back of bag - front jeans pockets sewn together to make extra-wide pocket.
Detail - goat cut out of red fabric and wonda-webbed and then sewn around the edges. Ribbon from VW Rouleuax [or however it's spelt!] with stars on red metal thread from the Artstore.

Fruits
Went to Waterstone's last night [had an hour to kill until Broken Flowers started at the GFT since I mis-judged the clocks going back...] and bought FRUiTS - Japanese teenagers fashions - it's so so cool!!
Bit disappointed to find I have a copy with duplicated pages so I'm going to have to exchange it - but still got lots of ideas from it ***** <-- 5 stars!
I'll have to get the next one "Fresh Fruits"
Absent me
So I missed last tuesday's Stitch n Bitch at Mono - thanks to girls troubles - humpf!
Called boy to rescue me so I could go home and moan - knitting rows between spasms :(
All plans to go to Sunday's Tramway were scuppered by my desperate need to finish my project for Craftster's Craft Challenge http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=57854.0 - I was sewing until 1am on saturday night and all day sunday too. It's nearly done - pictures will follow.
Have also finished the back of Bella - started the left front today while waiting for HSBC's automated phone system to put me through to a live human being [who cut me off....] don't get me started!
I couldn't take the camera today since the boy needed it to email everyone his Joker halloween outfit from his weekend party (I stayed in sewing - rock on!)
That's it for now...xx happy knitting everyone!

Needle case in progress close up
I'm having picture uploading problems again and this is all that would upload - this is the inside of the needle case - the outside is brown cord material that I got from a sofa shop's closing down sale - it was the samples. I got tonnes of cord in various colours for £4 - bargain!

Hobbycraft purchases
Sequin yarn from TAJ Yarns http://www.tajyarns.co.uk
Funky stitch holders that don't required tranferring of stitches (I always twist them!) again from TAJ Yarns. Also free tape measure from Janome with my purchase of sewing machine needles [I also got a yo-yo but gave it to the boy]
Giant buttons - phone for scale - these will look fantabulous on my iPod covers that I plan to sell I think!
Square sequins and sari thread
I had such a good time at the SECC Hobbycraft and Creative Stitches last weekend! My mum and granny were down from up North, and I must add giant thanks to the boy - who stayed through what must have been a personal hell for him as I cooed over sequins, yarn and giant buttons! xx
Noro Aurora
Here's my Noro Aurora hat - I love the sparkles - very festive!!
Shall I make you one too Fi?

Lightning Bolt iPod cover
It works again!Lightning bolt iPod cover for the boy - bolt made of felt and bonda-webbed on.
It's an experiment to see if it stays without sewing...

Thursday 20th Oct
So I've started knitting this in olive green Rowan Cotton Tape - about 25 cm of left front panel done - can't wait to do the sleeves!
Nothing much else - searching for Noro Silk Garden in purple shades to make a hat for a friend - but the only one I could find that seemed entirely purples is discontinued i think. John Lewis has a shade that is purples and greens.
It feels like a friday, but is a thursday - that's always bad.

Tuesday 18th Oct
Finally getting a chance to update my blog! Busy busy yesterday, followed by office night out meant I haven't been here until today.
Well on Saturday was Katherine's sneek preview opening. I loved LOVED her shop! Spent a bit, but saved especially for the occasion and definately wasn't disappointed with the selection! Bought some Noro Silk to make a hat [see below] - a joy to knit with.
And some Colinette, that I knitted up cos I just HAD to see what it looked like. Will rip it out and wait for project inspiration to hit me.

Wednesday 12th Oct
Had a lovely time at last nights Stitch n Bitch at Mono - garlic bread and pint of cranberry juice was just what I needed after arriving with jeans wet to the knee for the downpour that Glasgow is currently under siege from!
Showed off my cosy shrug, which was lovely and warm and got much complimenting *blush*
I worked on an iPod cover for the boy [too tired to take photos... as below but black] - I just have to get some yellow felt for it. I'm going to cut it into a lightening bolt shape and sew it on zig-zag stylee using the sewing machine.
It's been so busy at work today with all the students needing help finding their feet with law that I'll probably fall asleep in the car on the way home. Such a transition from the summer when I get to sit on my ass pretty much all day!! I'm sure I'll find the strength to do a bit of knitting later though!
Almost hyperventilating cos I won 8 balls of Rowan Cotton Tape from eBay the day before yesterday (there are a few projects I'm thinking of, but the ones I really wanted to do needed about 10-12 balls.)
So today I saw some more being sold by someone else. I emailed her to check the dye-lot - and it's the same!! yay! So i can do the projects I want to do - if I 'win' - hooray!!
See above for the projects I'm wanting to do from It's a Tape thing (Rowan)

Spinning
And I was feeling festive ... so I did some more spinning of my "Christmas" yarn, and knitted up what I have so far.
Humpf! All that spinning = about 5 inches (I knitted more after I took this picture!). I may need a wheel after all!
So I didn't get a chance to dye my yarn this weekend - cos I don't have enough Kool-Aid. So I'm going to work out tonight how much I need and order it off KoolAid.co.uk tomorrow.
I did think of the home page for my website though - without pictures it won't make sense, so i'll not try to explain it - but I'm pleased.
Och well - and off to try and finish the black fuzzi-felt scarf in a bid to make room in the stash box for the impending 8 balls of Rowan Cotton Tape that I just 'won' off eBay 10 minutes ago!
xx
My weekend
So I finished my shrug - yay!
Will be wearing to tomorrow's SnB meet proudly - my first not-a-scarf item!!
front...
back...
and as a scarf!!

Ma bag...
As promised - ma scary first bag - bit messed up on the handles cos I sewed one of the handles from front to bag, before realising that they should have been sewn on the same side of the bag from left to right [like an 'n'] - rookie mistake...
Made a pocket though...
The first of many bags n stuff to come :)
Magknits mittens
Oh God... I'm so excited!
Have been going through various substitute options for the Cascade 220 that mittens need, and have just realised that Jaegar Merino Matchmaker Aran will be perfect - and I have 4 balls ready for Kool-Aid dyeing and 1 ball already dyed = enough yarn to make the gloves!
I can dye them an exciting colours and they feel soo good! And the yarn is a dream to knit with!
And it's from my existing stash so I don't have to wait or anything - I can just dig it out and start!
I am practically shaking I'm so excited - my weekend is planned -
finishing my shrug
dyeing the merino and starting my new project - yay!

Magknits...
These knitted vegetables are a bit nonsensical, however I have noticed them going for a mint on eBay for some reason. And also knitted cakes were featured in October's Marie Claire... curiouser and curiouser...
Ooh no... I like this ...
and these mittens...
And I just bought It's a tape thing by Rowan and was about to splurge on Cotton Tape for about 8 projects in it...
Too many projects - work totally gets in the way!!
Nearly finished my shrug - about 14 cms left on the neck and I can bind off and try it - still not sure if it's gonna work, but...
Speaking of work... grr... better get on I suppose!

Chainmail Scarf
Ok - So here's the olde worlde chainmail scarf that the boy has been nagging me for, for ages! Knitted last night [in 1 night!] with R2 rag in grey on size 15mm needles. Plain knit stich.
Wednesday 5th October
So I am still using this blog - Just too busy trying to finish my shrug. I fear it will be a disaster, cos I'm not quite sure I'm attached the pieces right, but will post pics anyway soon.
In the meantime ... thank you Anika www.mrsite.co.uk is looking like a very good option for me. I'm looking into it, as I can upload my own designed pages [knowledge curtesy of evening class] rather than using templates. Watch this space for possible business start-up sooner than i thought!
