Seasons Greetings and 2012 round-up

Sparkle Handknits @ The Christmas Fair

Sparkle Handknits @ The Christmas Fair

Well I do admit that I’m a little late in writing this post but it has mainly been because I have had a very hectic December. The Christmas Craft Fair at The Out Of The Blue Drill Hall in Edinburgh was a great success and I am so pleased that my first ever craft fair went well.  I am definitely keen to do more in 2013 and my head is buzzing with all the wonderful things I want to knit 🙂 I had quite a few custom orders at the fair and have since been knitting frantically to get them all done, hence the lack of blog action. My Christmas orders are now complete so Sparkle Handknits HQ is now a little calmer and can start getting into the festive spirit! I had great fun knitting the Christmas baubles pictured above and they were a great focus point on my stall as they were displayed on a tree branch with fairy lights and other little baubles.  The patterns for these baubles were designed by Arne & Carlos in their brilliant book 55 Christmas Ball to Knit

2012 has been a great year and has seen my little hobby grow into something a little more.  A lot of thanks go to my wonderfully supportive husband and family and friends for cheering me on.  Roll on 2013, more craft fairs and even more knitting! Yay!

Anyway, I thought I would just take this little moment to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I hope all my wonderful readers have a lovely time.
