Over a month later and finally a young sweetie update!

OMIGOD! Haven'tpostedinamonth.Iamsosorry!

That is me muttering with embarrassment at my blog update tardiness!

Let me see..what have I been doing for the last month...yes..it has been exactly a month since my last update!! It is criminal in fact!

As I have mentioned before..the weekend is really the only time I have to myself to knit, visit friends and really get to spend time with my fiance...the latter two which I seem to be doing a lot more of lately...It must be a summer thing....an inability to sit indoors when one could be outside enjoying the summer sun!! Summer sun?!! That may be a slight exaggeration here in Ireland....more like..the marginally warmer temperatures which would still be classed as winter in most countries around the world but here in Ireland calls for BBQS and the wearing of inappropriate summer clothes despite the fact it is only 12 degrees Celsius! But alas..we do it anyway and so...knitting becomes more a winter hobby...something to do on the dark evenings in front of a warm fire!! I intend to break this habit and make knitting a summer hobby also!!! After all, I need to..young sweetie has a very important job to do and must be finished on time...summer is no excuse!

So in between weekends of visiting friends..some which we flew to Madrid to visit (a valid excuse for not knitting), a very bad toothache and a visit to the dentist which left me bed bound for a weekend and a trip to Antrim in Northern Ireland..I finally managed to knit and attach Young Sweeties arms and here she is!!! All she needs now are her sweets!!

An almost complete Young Sweetie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And she already has some of them!! In her pockets are two sticks of rock and a flake..unfortunately..I have no pictures to add as I forgot to take some!! Sometimes I get so absorbed with knitting that I forget to obtain the camera and snap some photos ..I just want to get each piece finished so I can have that rush of satisfaction!! =D

I promise to have pictures for my next bog post..and I promise not to leave it quite so long...I have set an end date for which young sweetie must be finished!! And that is Thursday 23rd June!!! A fairly random date but it might put some speed on me!!

Until again..Happy knitting and crafting
