Jade's Knitted Bag :0)

Here's what I have been busy doing I knitted a bag for my stitchy friend Jade!!! :0) I knitted the patchwork squares in all sorts of different textures...just used up all the little bits of wool we had left around my house :0)

I had great fun creating it and I think that Jade loves it...my knitting bug is well and truly here, all I want to do is knit and create things! 

I hope that you like it too...thanks for looking!

Excited!!!

I am absolutely massively overly excited about an idea that I have had...I am going to do an overseas charity challenge next year...I plan to do this one: Dog Sledding Challenge Sweden 2014 

So today I have been thinking lots about ideas in regards to this charity challenge. Mainly about:
1) Events I can hold to raise money
2) Local companies I can approach to sponsor me
3) Things I can do to advertise my charity challenge (radio interview, newspaper articles, blog posts etc...)

It's very exciting. The challenge isn't until February 2014 and I may not even go through with it but thinking about it and wondering what I can do to raise money excites me a lot. I think if I put my mind to it then I will more than likely go through with it!!! I am waiting for my knee operation on March 13th (next month) before making any concrete plans because I want to be absolutely sure I could do a challenge like this before committing to anything...

Eeeeeeek!!! Terribly excited...this would be in the year of my 30th birthday so would make it absolutely memorable for all the right reasons...

Just had to express my excitement and let my blog readers know of my idea/plans...

Knitted Frog Bag...

I knitted this bag for my good friend Cheryl who I thought needed cheering up...

It has a frog on the front ~ can you see it???

I then knitted the back and a thin(ish) band (& handle) to go right round the bag to give it a bit of strength! The whole bag is knitted in knit stitch and purl stitch only. I love how the combination of the two stitches can make so many textures!!! I do like knitting...

I hope that you like my newest knitted finish...I know that my good friend Cheryl did!!! That makes me happy...

I got the pattern from here:

http://frogiezplace.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/tree-frog-pattern.html ~ if you wanted to try it out for yourself...it was easy and knitted up quickly!!!

Thanks for looking at my blog today!!! Enjoy your week if I don't post another blog post before the weekend...
