Mad Marchness

March, well the whole of 2015 to date, has been pretty mental! I’m finally sat down with my laptop now but only because I’m supposed to be writing a presentation and this is great procrastination!

I’ve finally updated my etsy shop and had a bit of a change around because my making is now much more than just knitting and crochet – I’ve been sewing too so I decided to change the name to Stitched to be a bit more all-encompassing.  There are some greetings cards and bunting on there if you’re looking for something non-woolly!

I don’t know if any of you have heard of swap-bot but it’s a great place for finding woolly and sew-y people to swap things with.  I’ve not long posted off some crochet squares for 2 swaps I’m part of.  If you fancy having a look check out Crochet or Knit 12″ Square – Part 4 and Special Squares -April .

I’m also going to shamelessly plug my UK Yarn and Fibre group on their Yarn & Fibre UK. There are a range of different swaps available there that only incur UK postage.  If you’ve not come across the site but are that way inclined I’d recommend taking a look.

Other than that there has been a lot of cross stitching as I’ve been trying to catch up with my Frosted Pumpkin Story Time sampler… i’m now only a month behind until tomorrow when April’s frame gets released! Oh well, maybe I just try and fit too much in.

Enough from me for now.  I hope you’re all tucked up warm and enjoying the lighter evenings 🙂

Custom Made Hippo

I am so excited!
I have just finished the first custom order I have had in a long time!
Tomorrow, the newly christened Henry the Hippo will begin his long trip to Texas, USA.

I had a beautiful email from the lady who ordered him, and one from her Mom too, telling me how excited they were that he was ready to go, and I really hope that they like him in real life.

Here is a look at the lovely little chap:

My hippos are available to purchase from my Etsy shop: Anna Hand Knits either made to order in the colour/s of your choice, or from time to time there will be a selection of ready made ones.  Keep an eye out for new animals as they appear!
