Knitting a jumper and making roman blinds

I know, I know, I know!!! I have more than enough projects on the go but I guess there's always a little time do do a few more.

A while ago Andrew had asked me to knit him a jumper and we'd seen some wool and pattern that we both liked but it was going to be quiet expensive and as I already have enough projects on the go we decided to leave it for now. Well.... on one of my regular shopping trips to Spotlight I saw that wool was on special so I decided to have a look. At 40% off I couldn't resist that kind of sale and brought the wool and pattern. I haven't knitted for a while and am enjoying picking up the needles again. So far I've knitted the back and part of the front. I'm hoping to get it finished by the end of winter but that is going to be a big ask even for me!

My other new project is making Roman blinds for Andrew's house. I've never made them before so this will be a big challenge and hopefully one I wont mess up!
Somehow this pile of material is going to turn into 5 Roman Blinds!
