Time to Knit

First off, thank you so so much for all of your lovely comments on the Psycho Delia ta-dah.  I don't always get chance to reply to everyone (in fact, I have a very bad track record on that front!), but I do read and appreciate every single one of them.  Thank you!!

After Delia was finished, I had a couple of "days off" craft-wise.  I was astonished at how antsy and irritable I got.  After the second day I was more forgetful than usual, feeling a bit confused and restless...  I knew that crochet and crafting in general had become something of a therapy (I honestly think it should be suggested as a relaxation technique to anyone with anxiety disorder or similar), but I hadn't realised quite how much.  Maybe it was all just coincidence, but it certainly feels very nice to have some needles back in my hands!!


Yesterday I cast on the Tilting Tardis Cowl.  It's satisfying both my urge to knit and my obsession love of Doctor Who :P

You can probably see where I went a tad wrong on the first repeat...  I've not knit since finishing the Potty Potter hat and it kind of shows, but oh well - I'll just overlap the cowl the other way when I wear it and you won't be able to see ;)

Going through my memory card the other day I realised that I seem to have a backlog of photos building up.  It's pretty dull here in Bangor today, so I thought I'd remind myself of how lovely it's been by sharing some recent pics with you :)





Lovely stuff!

I 100% agree that knitting/crotchet helps massively with relaxation. I have to do either everyday or I do get down. I was told on Sunday that it was a "family day" which ment no phone (for facebook/ravelry lookup) and no crafting. It was very hard and thankfully I was let off 2 hours early to crotchet.

But given the choice of give up chocolate (I love) or craft chocolate would go everytime.

Love the pic's too. My mum is from Holyhead so I love Wales and wish I could go/live their more.

Dr. Who is my kids' favorite show right now (and we're Americans). Love the knitting AND the flower pics are especially nice.
