Starting mid sentence

I don't know what to say. I feel I am starting mid sentence because, my plans for the new year were for me to start with a crochet blog but what happens? It is going to be a knit one!!!! I don't know what has gotten into me!! I have been busy making plenty of lovely crochet stuff such as ...

But oh no I have been getting urges to make myself some fingerless mittens. I happened to see some knitted ones that looked so pretty I just had to give it a go. Before you ask, yes I can knit and no I don't like knitting - it's too slow for me :)D 
But I went bought some double pointed needles and pulled out some variegated yarn. I have looked up plenty of patterns but none seem to make sense so I decided to just go with the flow.

As I work away I am thinking it needs a hat!!!! NOOOOOooooo!!!!!! Save me from myself!!!!!


I have a Facebook CAL that I have joined and I have an item to complete by the end of the month. Each row is taking ages!!! That is cause it is big. Maybe that is why I am procrastinating with knitting 
Before I get back to it, check out my current CAL. From the stitch along with us Facebook group. They are lovely in the group you should join us with your projects if you wish
