Updates and Turning painty papers into Grungy art tags.

 It's been a while, hasn't it?  So where am I? We moved out of the big town back to the countryside, having moved from a Victorian townhouse to a 50's village house. We live in a very old village near "The most haunted village in the UK". It's not, I don't think I've ever heard any locals with ghost stories!

I work in a school currently as an After school wrap-around care leader, I'm now also a DSL, (Designated safeguarding lead), a HLTA (Higher-level teaching assistant), I'm also part of the school Nuture program, having been in the background, loading and filling approximately 160 students. I also have obviously First aid, food hygiene, and MHFL trained. To also keep me busy Ha ha! I'm in my second year of Uni, Taking CYS (Child Youth Studies). I also help assist with the schools' Art programs, and I'm excited to put together a school-wide Art Expo next term, So it's all come full circle again!

As for my creativity, I've discovered a love for junk journaling and Youtube, I never realised just how creative making videos was, I certainly didn't appreciate the media arts for sure!

This is my first video, but It gets a little better as the days go on! See you soon!

Friends' nephews "lovey" had fallen apart..disaster! I was sent a sample in the post, but  there wasn't a pattern I could find anywhere so I had to try and recreate it somehow, all the basket weave blankets I'd seen where odd number stitch patterns repeated and/or the back of the same as the front, this one was even number repeats (inside borderer) and the back was plainish knit (different to the back) 3.75mm needles 100g pattons fab dk yarn (I used a whole ball leaving about 10 yards!) This blanket once pressed or killed (steamed) is approximately 50 x 70 approx, of course,e you do not have to press it, this was just how it was in the sample I was sent, unpressed its about 43 x 57cm. If you want to make it bigger just add an extra 8 stitches and knit to the required length. Cast on 86 stitches. Knit in garter stitch for 6 rows. Then... Row 1, K7 *p4,k4* to last 7 stitches k7 Row 2, knit Repeat rows 1-2  Two more times (6 rows in total) Row 3, K7,K...
