PROJECT COMPLETED - LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ONE!

You may recall on the 1st February, I started a new project - which I am happy to say I completed last night.  I had intended to make just the jumper for a special little boy called Little Boy Blue, the grandson of a Blip friend, but when I actually finished the knitting on Sunday evening, I had quite a lot of the wool left over, so decided to knit a matching bobble hat to go with it.

It didn’t take long to knit the hat, and as it was so cold outside, I stayed in all day yesterday, just knitting.  I decided not to do any housework - well what’s the point - as I have said before, no-one is coming to visit and Mr. HCB says he isn’t bothered - not bothered enough to do anything anyway - so I watched a new series on Netflix and just knitted and knitted. 

I had finished the hat by teatime and then had to make the bobble - something that I don’t find easy - despite watching several Youtube videos, but I eventually found one that seemed to work.  However, that was not before I had tried to make one by winding the wool round a fork - which appeared to work, but as you can see by the strands of wool at the bottom, it didn’t!  

It’s all ready now to be put into a bag and sent to Little Boy Blue - and I just hope it fits - it’s quite difficult making something for someone you’ve never seen but I have lots more wool, so if it doesn’t fit, then I can always make another one - I have already sent him a hat, so at least I know that will fit!  

I now have to find another project, but a friend has just had a baby girl, so perhaps something very small would be good to do next - I need something to keep me out of mischief! 

I’m doing a phone interview with Jo, the Presenter on Girls About Town, a bit later, and she wants me to talk about Blip.  I had told her a few weeks ago that I had completed 2,920 or 8 years of Blips without missing a day - so she wants to chat about that.  I haven’t actually been over to the Radio Station for almost a year, since the start of the pandemic, but occasionally, Jo and I have a chat on the phone and she then puts that into the programme.  Mr. HCB used to laugh at me when I was getting ready to go on the programme, because I always put lipstick on before I left the house.  I know I’m doing the interview on the phone, but I will make sure I have put my lippie on - I know it’s only radio, but one has to look one’s best!
