A Sunny Weekend Away

Well things have been a little quite on the blog this year so far so I am making a March resolution and I must write more blogs, repeat I must write more blogs.....

So far this year a lot of my friends and relatives have been having babies so I have been a busy bee trying to knit some baby bits. My favourite are my Mary Jane baby booties (pics on my twitter page @knittingdog) 

I am currently in the process on knitting some red Snow White inspired ones complete with rosy apple buttons! 

Me, my husband and Little Lola the Border Terrier have just come back from a weekend away in Shropshire, about 1 mile from the Welsh border. A little place called nantmawr. We staying in a cosy one up one down converted pigsty! Well it didn't look much like a pigsty anymore absolutely stunning, complete with log burner and bunting to boot. 

Not that we needed to log burner much, this has been the hottest weekend so far and the beautiful weather made our trip all the more enjoyable. 

We took in sights such as Lake Vyrnwy and its breath taking waterfall and a trip up the Moelydd along part of Offa's Dyke trail to the wonderful 306 degree views all the way across to the snow covered Snowdon. 

We really didn't want to come home. 

Well I must stop rambling and actually write more blogs so it's not such a massive one each time! I do like to whittle on! 

One last thing I am sooooo looking forward to starting my beginners sewing machine course at the end on April! More to follow .....

New Year New Look

Well this maybe a little late but Happy New Year! 

The New year brings a new look for Little Knitting Dog.

My Blog & Twitter profile have both had a little revamp & my little Border Terrier illustrated to become the official face of Little Knitting Dog! 

The lovely sketch is by my very talented Friend Antonia Woodward who is a freelance illustrator http://www.antoniaillustrates.co.uk/ 

I have always loved Antonias' Work and as soon as I had the idea of putting Lola the border Terrier as the face of Little Knitting dog I couldn't wait to ask Antonia is she would put together a few ideas for me. 

She definitely delivered and it was very hard to pick just one to be a main feature!

Thank You again Antonia! 

More projects coming soon...
