Hi everyone, just a quick post for the Alpha challenge as we are off to sunny climes on Monday and I won't be posting anything for about 10 days:) I can't wait to feel the sun on these old bones!!
Back to the matter in hand and the letter this time is K, not an easy word, it must be one of the shorter chapters in the dictionary. I was clearing up the detritus on my desk when I espied two cocktail sticks and a length of string, BINGO! So here is my page, what do you think?

Not easy knitting with cocktail sticks, I can tell you! Took me back to my college days when I made several handbags, knitted in string and lined. It's a killer on the fingers! I added a little bead to each end and the rest is fairly obvious:)
Just thought I'd leave you with a couple of pics of Charlie from the weekend:)
Thanks for taking the time to visit and hopefully leaving a comment and I will catch up with you all in a couple of weeks.
Hasta la vista!

Wow Val - looks like you and me are midnight crafters!!! Love your take on the K word - the cocktail sticks make brilliant knitting needles, and I love the dictionary snippet.
Charlie looks so "cool" in his sunglasses - he's gorgeous, and growing up fast!
Have a fabulous sunny holiday - Hugs, Sylvia xx
Great job with your knitting, Val! You wouldn't want to knit a scarf
with those needles...lol!
Lovely photo's of Charlie! He's growing so fast.
Enjoy your hol's...hope you get some lovely sunshine. As you get back we will be on our way. We're going on an eighteen day cruise xx

Oh, how great you did for the challenge of K! Knitting with cocktail sticks would be a challenge all it's own. You do the knitting, I'll drink the cocktail!
Valarie this is a great page - its about my level of knitting minus the cocktail sticks, brings back memories of knit one , purl one - end result never completed project.lol.Lovely little boy and enjoy your holiday.Loved your page and thanks for your comment on mine.
Nifty idea using cocktail sticks and string Val - makes a great page. Have a great holiday......how ever are you going to cope with 10 days Charlie-less! Great photos.
