5 Years Later:

 I should be ashamed of myself, a whole 5 years without a single blog post 😳.

A lot has happened in that time, a few life changes, all good, but these have kept me busy, so now I've adapted to those changes I'm back, hoping I can keep up with Sophie's Knit Stuff blog. 

During the last 5 years,  I've studied hard and passed my Accounting Technician course, got a part-time job, found love 😍, moved on from the part-time job to a full-time job, which is my excuse for neglecting this blog, as I have less time for knitting and other crafts, let alone for blogging!

Well except for today: I am home since I have to wait for my daughter's (hopefully negative) Covid test result😷. And since I'm stuck at home, I'm catching up on:


1. My long neglected blog πŸ™‹  Sophie's Knit Stuff;


2. Finishing my sewing machine cover; 

My Brand New Sewing Machine Cover

I've used a pattern from Sew Can She, it's normally for a kitchen mixer, but the size fits an average size sewing machine, plus it's got pockets, very handy for sewing notions!

During last year I've done quite a bit of sewing as I wanted to make reusable fabric face masks, I also made some cute oven mitts and even though my sewing skills are not the best (don't look too closely at my binding strips πŸ˜…), I think I've finally got rid of the fear of the sewing machine πŸ˜‚.


3. Finishing up my latest knitting pattern: 

Already all knitted up but now I need to work on the less fun parts of designing knitting patterns, i.e. add pictures, proofread and translate the pattern in French, find the correct keywords in order to get the views (and hopefully the sales πŸ’°). I promise I will post an update here when it's all done.


That's all for now folks! I need to keep a little to talk about next time so watch this space for more updates, you can all still follow me on my Facebook Page, Instagram, Twitter, and of course Etsy.
