Hi

My name's
Christy, I live in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia. I'm a mum of 3 pretty cute kids (4, 2, and 6 months) and married to a very tolerant man

, who puts up with my many "projects". I've been knitting for about 7 or 8 years on and off (between my many other crafty hobbies). I love knitting but find it can be quite an expensive hobby, especially when I seem to rarely be happy with the finished project. I'm pretty tall so usually find that garments that I knit for myself are either too short in the sleeves (which I can fix) or in the body (which I'm not too sure how to fix, especially if it's patterned). My favourite knitted garment is a jumper that I did for my husband some years ago. It turned out really well, much to my great surprise

.
I'm currently kntting a lacey bolero for my oldest daughter and so far have pulled it apart about 3 times (I'm hoping that it's not my dodgy knitting). Hopefully I can find the help, inspiration and motivation that I need here.
