Why settle for one?




When you can have two.


Work in progress for Little Monkey. Colour choices and stripes are all her own idea. This is the size aged 10 years. So it'll take a little longer I guess.


See? Told ya I was knitting!

As Promised







A parade of pink lovliness.


Love the garter stitch details and the I-Cord edging and buttonholes.


Now...when the snow eases up I'm off out for some buttons. Yay!

Liebling Iceling




Well, it's been a while since the last post. Apologies. I've been busy. Also been busy knitting.




This is the M and Freddy Show modelling Iceling, the kid version of Iced.

I got perfect gauge with Artesano Aran so you can guess that it's a really warm and cosy project and in this freezing weather my lap really misses it now that it's done.


Good thing there's another one on the needles. Better photos of the knitting coming very soon.





'Mum. Freddy says he wants one too. Puleeese!'

I'll bet he does. That's a smart bear.

Crafting Mama




Geez. I guess it was only a matter of time. Mama is crafting now. And knitting Continental style.

Go over to Eskimimi Knits for her blogpost on Crafting Mama.
.
And no. I don't think I'll be looking for this one anytime soon. When Mama gets mad, Mama is scary!

Leaving-On-The-Edge


.
In keeping with the theme of showing you other people's designs (because mine are too freakin' slow to finish) I gotta show you this design from SheKnitUpThatBall. Leaving-On-The-Edge*.
.
Due to a heady yarn-fume-fueled purchase in the past, I have lots of Debbie Bliss Como in the stash. Buried somewhere under lots of other yarn-fume-fueled purchases. I have several colours but I think the dark purple-y one will be the 1st choice.
.
Also would be nice in Rowan Cocoon which I (ahem cough ahem) accidently bought recently.
.
Anyway, I lurrrve this design. Such a chunky and leafy statement. Definitely one for the Gift Bin.
.
Available on Ravelry and also here.

*(I guess the fact that I have the song 'Leavin' On A Jetplane' ringing in my head can't be blamed on anyone.)

Fun With Blogger

Ok, so it's a little bit childish of me, but after spending some time recently not blogging while I am here, it amuses me to post when I'm not. All thanks to Blogger scheduling options.

I love technology when I can use it. When I can't, it's the work of the devil and I'll have none of it. Like I said. Childish.

Anyhew....I'm not home.

I'm here.




And hopefully the sun is shining.

Happy Halloween to you!
