...the generous words of support for my mum in advance of her Great British Sewing Bee debut. (Especially the lovely people who have been tagging #teamlynda before even seeing it!) Thank you all your lovely comments.
The full contestant line-up has been announced and I absolutely can not wait to watch the first episode next Tuesday (18th Feb on BBC2 at 8pm). If you've missed the trailer or you're a curious international reader, you can see it on YouTube.

.... that Lynda (Mum!) is wearing my Hitchhiker in the official photo. (Ravelry notes here.) Depending how much of the filmed footage is shown/edited out, there may be more of my handknits on screen - I'll be playing 'spot the scarf' next Tuesday!
.... Archie's make-over. He's finally a 'proper' Schnauzer and he's even more adorable than before!
.... these Valentine's themed Etsy finds (lots more on my curated page).
There's a lot going on here at the moment - I'm preparing some upcoming interviews, writing a few new patterns and lusting after too many gorgeous things I can't afford to buy for my Cwtch (like this awesome chair), not to mention the boring 'housewifey' things I am supposed to be doing, but will put off for as long as possible. Have a great Monday x
I'm so excited for you and your mum, wish I could watch but will just have to follow your comments for updates :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenni. I will be reviewing the episodes here on the blog, and will also have an exclusive interview with my mum to accompany the first review. Keep an eye out next Wednesday :D
DeleteI have to say that I got ridiculously excited pointing your Mum out to my daughter when the trailer for the show was on the other night. Feb 18th is already marked in my diary as a TV watching evening :D
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! We are going to be having a celebration here that night :D
DeleteVery cool how your mum's on that show. Weighing her the best of luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
DeleteI can't wait to the see the sewing bee and play spot the scarf (and wonder if you've made it). What a sneaky way of getting on tv, he he. You obviously know the result but I will be rooting for your Mum. One of the main reasons being she looks the happiest, smiliest person there. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteAli x

Just love love love the idea of sneaking in your hand knits - now we just sit holding our breath for the great british knitting bee :)
I know!!!!
DeleteWhen you were about to move and saying you had a secret, it was the same time as the selection process was happening and I said to my mum I wondered if you'd applied! But your move was the surprise! :D
Bless you all and thank you for your lovely comments .... still smiling here - lynda xxx
