The Sunday Post #14 – My New Hobby

ByLisa Jayne 


The majority of my spare time has always been spent on this blog, or playing The Sims, actually mostly playing The Sims. It’s been years since I tried to, or even thought about taking up a new hobby, when one day one of my best friends started knitting. I then saw her creating loads of cool knitted gifts for us, and all of her projects looked really great. I then thought it would be a really fun new hobby to try out, and hopefully I’d be good enough to make myself a nice scarf or something.




Originally I thought it would be something fun to do while I watched TV, I never thought it would be something I’d be good at doing. I started off with a knit your own scarf kit, and I spent hours trying to learn stocking stitch and eventually made a lumpy holey scarf. Fast forward a few rubbishly knitted items later and I’m getting pretty good if I do say so myself. I’ve made a few kindle cases, scarfs, and even some baby clothes for my friends daughter, and now I’m planning on knitting everyone Christmas gifts.




I’ve turned into a right old little lady, but there’s nothing I enjoy more than an evening in with a cuppa, and my knitting. It’s a great new hobby, and I get to make some pretty cool stuff out of it. I’ve got loads of new projects I want to start knitting, including learning to make socks! Do you have any fun hobbies?

    No Spend September Update

    After being the type of person who’s always poor and can’t ever save money I decided it was time to start No Spend September. Being absolutely hopeless at spending bans, and completely failing at the 100 day ban I did before I decided a 30 day ban would be a lot easier. I’m now over half…

    Back at the start of the month I decided to have another go at setting myself some goals for February. Now it’s the end of the month I thought I’d look back on what I set for myself and see if I managed to achieve them.  Don’t run out of moneyThis was probably the hardest of the goals…

    Valentine’s Day Gift Guide #1

    Now it’s February everyone’s focus has switched from getting fit and being healthy, to all things Valentine’s Day. I find that Valentine’s Day gifts can often get a little samey, with the usual chocolates and flowers still proving to be popular. Although this year I’ve spotted a couple of different gifts, and thought I’d share them with you in case…

    Ladbrookes Party Life Event

    Image courtesy of Lucy  Last month I was invited to spend an evening on a luxury boat sailing down the thames, with a casino aboard thanks to Ladbrookes. I did something that was quite brave for me, I went to an event on my own, where I didn’t know anyone. It doesn’t sound like much, but for someone who’s…

There’s been numerous great days out with friends, and I’ve been to some great shows. All of these events I have great memories of, so I…
