Getting things in order

I am still trying to organise my life so I can fit in all the things I love to do, I am getting so far behind in everything.

I have decided that I won't be madly knitting each month for the monthly handmade markets in Albion Park anymore, I have enjoyed attending the markets, but I have to knit so much (not a bad thing you maybe thinking) and nothing else seems to be getting done. The garden is getting to be a real mess, and I don't seem to be enjoying my knitting as much.

I love to knit, but I love to knit what I want to, not what I think others will buy. I have put photos up on my knitting facebook page - Annie Knits  http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.167469400061014.39474.100003938645170&type=1#!/annie.knits and will see how this goes with selling my knitting. That will take the pressue off me as far as having to keep up knitting each month for the markets.

I have made a list - yes I am big, HUGE on lists. Anyway I have made a list of knitting I would like to do over the next couple of months, mainly knitting for the Albion Park Show, which I may also enter some of the items in the Dapto and Kiama Shows. The three shows run over consecutive weekends.

I have been knitting a Cotton Swing Dress which I trialled in making it as a size 4 years, just about got it right, not that anyone would really know, just have to tweek the pattern a bit. The pattern I have is only in a size 2 years.

I am currently knitting a cotton top in size 4, it is in the Let's Get Knitting magazine using Panda Cotton 8ply, it is looking pretty good, photos to come after I finish it, I have planned to finish it today, but first I have to remove myself from this chair and computer and go vacuum and wash all the floors, hose out the pergola area and then maybe I will sit down and knit - gotta love the weekends.
