It's Wednesday - and again I didn't realise it was a Wednesday until I received a notification that Brenda had posted a WOYWW. I did think about not taking part this week as we are in the middle of Loft Renovations and that is where my crafts live. But yesterday I worked hard on trying to get my sleeping sheep finished.
The reason I 'disappoint you', is because I haven't finished my sock and I promised last week. Now I have a good reason. It snowed here a lot last Friday which meant I couldn't get my car out, so couldn't go to my knitting group. I sat and did about four rows last night in front of Downton Abbey but then realised I had done the four rows wrong and spent the rest of the night undoing and dropping stitches. So I have actually left it in almost the same state it was in last week. I will tackle it again now as I think I know where I went wrong.
In the meantime I have been crocheting a Sleepy Sheep. He is nearly finished and is off to England for a friend's birthday. He is missing an ear and a leg (this is becoming my trademark) and I am hoping to finish this today also.
Before I moved all my craft stuff away from the loft, I rescued all my Mollie MakesMagazines and piled them up in the kitchen and I flick through them at every opportunity. Some of them haven't even been opened. At the moment I am reading about a woman who makes patchwork wooly blankets out of old jumpers. Loving this and would love to have a go.
I'm a bit late posting this today and know (without Brenda's help) that I will be right down the bottom of the list, but at least I joined in. I have my coffee and a piece of hot buttered toast and I am now off to check other desks around the world courtesy of Julia. Oh EDIT: smallest has just informed me that we are going to watch Mickeys Twice Upon Christmas (well it is still snowy).
Please don't use my photos without asking first. Posted with Blogsy

A craft space in a loft sounds so cozy! So does getting snowed in and also coffee and hot buttered toast :) love your little sheep, missing ear and all :)
Ah, we are in the middle of renovations too! There is a man outside with a pneumatic drill at the moment........ love your little sleeping sheep, it is so, so cute! Happy WOYWW, Anne x #37
Your wee sheep will be very cute when you get him all finished. I like the look of that crochet doily pattern. The renovations will be worth it all when you're finished - does it mean you're getting a new crafty space?

Love Sleepy Sheep! Hope your loft is soon done ! I saw that article too - but haven't done anything about it - yet! You are my last visit before bed time so I'll say -Goodnight! Chrisx
I LOVE your little sleepy sheep, he's adorable! I didn't prod you about WOYWW as I thought you'd be too busy with the loft renovations, although I know the peeps on there would like a before and after photo when it's done. Shame about the sock, I hate ripping stuff out, it's like I just wasted my entire evening and now I have to do it again! Hopefully light is at the end of the tunnel though!
Hugs
Brenda
Love, love your sheep, so cute, but don't talk to me about socks, I've had one on the needles for three months now. Must get down to doing it before the sandals are back in use.

Your sleep sheep are so cute. Even if some of them are missing limbs. Looking forward to seeing our sock.
