Who's bright idea was it to make February a short month, I am sure that it would sound better being
...30 days has September, April, May, June, July and November? Share the love a little.
So I am living in my own little world and time zone at the moment, my watch reads Wednesday, 31st. How about yours?
If you have read till this point you have possibly clicked to the fact that I did not get nearly what I wanted to do this month completed. I did however catch up on January's list (so a positive), however I failed to knit the Feb Lady Sweater - did not even cast it on. I descided that I would concerntrate on the shawl and of which I only managed to achieve an extra 5 repeats. Lace work is hard going with toddlers and I take my hat off to anyone that enjoy it.
For the 12 in 12 I only managed to sew up a pair of knickers that I had cut out back in hummm July.
I enjoyed making them - but they are HUGE. And will fit Miss 4 when she is 24 (and I am not being dramatic here - LOOK) (and the other underwear in the picture are big on her to start with)
On the knitting front I have singed up for a challenge, that being to only work on one thing at a time.
I would like to say that I can do it, however I am feeling a little blahblah about the shawl that is on the needles at the moment - it is hard to pick up and put down as I walk around the house chasing the kids, So I think that I am going to change the challenge a little for me and work on the shawl + one other project
Rainbow Dress for Amelia
Finish the Shawl
Milo for Baden
Socks for Tim - finish in time for his birthday - have to make a trip into Tangled Yarns to pick up yarn.
Baby gift - sex unknown - due 16th March
Sewing
I am also going to try and get what I have started finished and then make a start on the kids winter wardrobes.
The 12 in 12 this month is a softie - so something little is in order there.
For the one per month I have a list of recipes and websites that I search when I am looking for a recipe - so will try something from them.
I would also like to try and get a few veges growing - I am missing having a vegetable patch and having that excuss to get outside although it has been raining for a few days here at the moment. I smiled nicely to the green grocer yesterday and he gave me three boxes and thought that we could start with some lettuce or something in them.
LOL the underpants remind me of a pair my nan made for me a few years back... they were too huge and I was 27 ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW I am north brisbane, we should try and arrange a crafty meet up with a few of the other local girls :)
Pel-ease, imagine how cold, wet, windy & crazy Canberra decided to be on Sunday/ Monday?? Brrrr . . . love the knickers, my girls had to wear boys underpants until they were 5 as nothing ever stayed up on their little bodies. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteMy girls have big squigy bums and they look perfect! Wher oh where did you get the pattern from? I would love to make some. X
ReplyDeleteOh the undies are cute - how crazy is that sizing though?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a good plan going for March - I love how you justify working on two things for the "one thing at a time challenge". hehehe
Oh and re: the boxes..it's amazing what a pretty smile can get you!
Very cool undies - so wish I could sew my own undies... or some for the kids!!
ReplyDeletecute undies! I have a pattern that I bought and haven't tried it yet for fear that I'll go through all the work for underwear that don't fit!!!
