Sent and Recieved...

I have some knitting that has finally been sent and recieved.


I knitted another little Milo for a friends little man and it sat for about two months before I got around to sending it off - opps - lucky for me I knitted the 3 month version. See it on him over at Becky's blog too.


I also knitted and sent of some Bike Beanies for Mum and Dad to wear under there helmets. Not sure exactly how much wear they will get in Mackay - but I think that Dad has plans of a bike holiday at some stage (although it may be on his Harley and not the push bike)


And a pair of Fetchings for Mum - these were meant to be taken on their holiday to New Zealand but she left them at home (hope you had cold hands Mum:)

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

Well I can wait. If someone invents a time stabliser I would love to know - the years are flying far too quickly at the moment. We celebrated a certain little girls birthday. Yes, Amelia turned 4.


We celebrated with a baby chino at the local coffee shop, and two birthday cakes.

This was her first Birthday with her cousins and I think that she had a great time:)

Wordless Weekend #4

I know that this is meant to be a wordless post - but I am getting alot of questions as to where I got it from so I thought that I would pop it in here for all.
This little needle book belongs to my MIL. I loaned it for the photos. She recieved it when she was a girl and it came complete with needles. The book opens to show a little pop up section of girls doing handy work. It is just so cute and was made in Japan.
I would love to update my blogger header at some stage and use one of these pictures as the header - I have no idea where to start so if anyone is handy with blogger and can give me some tips I would love them. Thanks in advance.

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

.. to knit for 7 hours tomorrow on the way to Victoria. I love going away and sitting for a period of time and getting some serious hours of knitting done!



I will be starting another Bloom. This time in a purple for Amelia.

I was thrilled to be asked to test knit this for Georgie - and everyone has commented and ohhed and gared over it. It is going to be very popular, I had 20 favourites and 130 views in the first 24hours of it being in my Ravelry projects:)

Keep an eye out - the pattern is set for release in about a week.

This is the 4ply version and knits up to fit a newborn and grows with them.

Amelia - she has a chest of 53cm/21inches (a small size four)

Jessica - chest of 50cm/19.5inches
Freya - chest of 46cm/18inches
Kennedie - 2 week old Newborn, 8lb
