It was fun doing them on the machine, and it made an interesting change from just sticking papers onto card! I didn't have matching envelopes for every card- some in my stash were too large to go with anything, so I cut them down to size and them stitched them on my machine too, which made for a nice 'set'.
All three of my new knitting projects are underway, and though I shan't reveal them all now, I shall mention one of them- the one I am using my lovely knitpicks yarn that I mentioned in my last post. I am doing the beautiful "Charlotte Dress" by Nicole Montgomery. I am enjoying working in the round on my circular needles, and at the moment, because the skirt of the pattern is pretty simple, it's easy to pick up and put down when I have a moment or two.
The only frustrating thing about knitting with this lovely yarn is that it comes wound up in a skein, which then is rather messy when you're working with it (see first pic above). Does anyone have any tips for keeping this neat? Do any of you bother to wind it up into a ball as I am slightly tempted to do?
Lastly today, I have made a yummy chocolate cake for a craft evening tonight...
Mmm. Can I wait for tonight?!
How are you this week?

Ball it lady!!! Knitting from the skein is likely to result in the biggest knot ever. Though, unpciking the knot it kind of theraputic, I find balling theraputic too and it's definitely quicker :-)
