Blogtoberfest #9 - In...In...In...

And I was doing so well.

This year I have made an effort to knit from the stash - and I was doing so well until we drove through Bendigo on Monday on the way home and somehow the car drove itself to Bendigo Woollen Mill (with Tim's help)

In my defence, most of it is ear marked with projects to get on the needles in the next month (and I do have a very long drive up to QLD at the end of the month that will require a project or two)

Bendigo Luxury in 4ply - ear marked for a Bloom, a newborn jacket and something for my Mum

And these were sitting there calling out to me - I just had to grab them - Bendi sock wool $4 for 50g. And you can never have too much sock yarn - these will become socks for the boys in my life.

Best keep moving for the day. Have a little man that is being like a worm on my lap - he can not sit still today, and doesn't want me to sit here.

Blogtoberfest #8 - A home...

We have a house.


Yay - and it is bigger than a mouse house

Can you tell that I am doing a happy dance today. But my word. How hard is it to get through to people that yes it is only a house. A house that we will live in for the next two years. And that house becomes our home. In the last day I have had the removalists comment on how much 'stuff' and furniture we have. I don't think that we have any more than other people. Ok, with the sporting husband that I have maybe the two kayaks and large canoe, cricket, hockey, climbing and diving gear may be alot of stuff (lets not mention the tools). Then add in the yarn and fabric stash that I have and yes - I guess that we might have alot of 'stuff', but is it their place to comment on our hobbies and enjoyment!

Anyway - house found and plans back to Plan A. Back to packing this home into boxes.

Blogtoberfest #7 - Finished Knits

It is amazing how much one can knit in a car when they are a passanger.

Approx 14 hours in the car back and forwards to the inlaws (and a little extra at the destination) helped to produce three items and three ticks off my long list. (I still have one to photograph - but here is a taste of what had the needles click clacking)

A QLD Milo for Thomas' second birthday. It is so cute and I am glad that there is enough of this maroon in the stash for Baden for one next year. I did a different cable than what is given with the pattern, I was attempting to achieve something that looked like a Q - what do you think?

In Full Bloom, the second test knit for TiKKi. This one is for Amelia and she is so in love with it.

I entered these in the little country show at my IL's and recieved first place for the Bloom and second for the Milo (well done Georgie on such great patterns)

It's Tuesday and I Can't wait...

to be free of this headache.

It is like a tension headache - like the ones that you get when you stress too much - stress me - never. Well, ok - yes that is what has been happening. A little stressed about this move and the housing that they are offering us at the moment is small - I mean mouse sized.

Knitting pics tomorrow (I have to spread out what a share because 30 days is going to take a long time if I have nothing to tell or share)

Heading Back

Along here...

To pack these...

See you tomorrow with some knitting news.

The Local Show

We took the kids to the little local show.

Fun was had for the kids with clowns, train rides, face painting and animals.
