A Dolly Mixture of a Post

We have been away camping for a few days and now have a couple of days to ourselves before we head off again.  So I thought I would do a round up post of what I have been up to.

On Wednesday we drove to a campsite on the East coast near a place called Cromer.  It is famous for its crab and so in the box is a salad of Cromer crab.  It was an absolutely gorgeous place and we hope to return. 

 We then moved onto the Norfolk racetrack - Snetterton for a weekend of racing for the boys.  We had a brilliant time with great racing and lovely hospitality.  I didn't get much time for crafting (namely knitting my socks), but I intend to make up for that now before we head to the other side of the country to see Grandma on Saturday.

 On the note of socks - here are the two I have on the needles at the moment.  The ones above are for me.  Both are knit in The Knitting Goddess british wool and nylon, the above is Mathematical Camel spit, and the bits that look grey on the monitor are really green.  Below are the socks I am knitting for Daniel and these are in Scooby Doo.  Both pairs are blueberry waffle, I have completed fish lips kiss heels on all four and will do a rounded toe on them all, which is all my favorite recipe!

I am hoping to finish both by the end of the week.

Next up is my Buchanan.  I have finished all the bust increases and now am ready to join the sleeves.  I didn't take that with me camping but I think I might save it for mum's, as the colourwork is about to start - hurrah!

That's pretty much it for the knitting.  Hopefully I will be able to get to some sewing this week.  I ordered three pieces of fabric (sorry the pic is upside down!), some superhero fabric to make the boys PE bags and two pieces to make myself bags.  The bottom piece is of flower fairies which I used to love reading about when I was little.

I have also cut out the fabric to make myself a Mimi top by Tilly and the Buttons.  My intention is to make this and then use a pattern I have for a button through skirt and join the two patterns together to make myself a dress!

Finally, me and Thomas whipped up a batch of these this morning and very nice they were too!
I will link up with everyone altogether today and try to do separate posts next week.
