My coat

I don’t believe it – does this mean that I am knitting a project for me? Not a present for a friend or relative or an item for the children?

Yes – believe it.

I walked into Busy Fingers Coventry with my flyers for Knit-Wits and suddenly felt embarrassed in the Matalan bought cardy. Hmm I can’t very well promote a knitting club in an obvious manufactured woollen (if of course there is a scrap of wool in it) garment, so 5 minutes later I had the pattern, the wool and the pins to make it. Several hours over Christmas day and Boxing day later – back and right front complete – left front, 2 sleeves and border to go.

I could get used to making things for me – Wendy chic scarf is for me too, unless I get coaxed out of it nearer completion.
