Blissed Out Knitting

Blissed Out Knitting

http://jo2308.typepad.com/

This blog is all about finding bliss through creating - knitting, sewing, crochet, embroidery, cooking - and anything else that takes my fancy. To me, crafting isn't just a hobby, it's a necessity. It keeps me sane, helps me cope with life's frenetic pace and slow down. I love that at the end of a day I've made something - I've something tangible and real I can hold in my hand and touch.

I craft alone, with my seven year old, with friends and with abandon!

    I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted and it's not been deliberate at all - it's just the challenge of fitting everything in at the moment. I'm desperately trying to get the Masters Dissertation properly underway......
