Sewing up....is hard to do

I don't like sewing up knitted items. I wish they all came in one piece, would be so much easier.

I did manage to sew up the lemon baby 3 piece set, sew buttons on the blue baby 3 piece set, sew up the teacosy. I just need to get around to sewing up my jumper and getting buttons for the cardigan, then it would be all up to date.

I am still knitting on the socks and have started a 2ply scarf, they should have been finished, but sometimes life gets in the way.


We went for a breakfast ride this morning with friends, we rode through Jamberoo, up saddleback mountain road into Kiama and met more friends there. It was a very scenic ride and a very relaxing breakfast with friends. Yah for Sundays.

When we got home it had really started to warm up, I planted seedlings I got yesterday at the Albion Park Spring Festival, when finished with some gardening it was really hot, so I changed and got into the pool to cool off. Gotta love a pool in summer.

This is one of the finished felted christmas boots with christmas chocolates. They are so cute and will make a wonderful gift.

I'm right with you. I hate sewing up seams.

The baby sets are beautiful! You did a great job.

Sewing up is my least favourite part of knitting too - but it is satisfying to get nice FO's at the end, like yours!

You are so lucky to have a pool!

You might not like sewing up but your knitted items look beautifully finished! Love the little felted boot too, what a great gift idea!

I always hate the thought of sewing up, but it's actually not so bad and you do get a proper finished item at the end of it all.
The little elf shoe looks per4fect all filled like that.
We had motorbike races here at the weekend at Simmons Plains. It was like a pool, I saw it on TV: wet as!!
