Whoops!

I've not shown you these socks yet have I? They are Spring Forward from Knitty summer 2008. Really easy lace pattern. I made mine in The Natural Dye Studio's Mirage - Merino and Tencel yarn.

I always, always, always hand wash my hand made socks. ALWAYS.....

Apart from this time. Oh blast I said. But I've cut the cuffs off and will crochet around the cut edges to make sure they don't fray too much. Maddie has a brand new pair of slippers!
This is Eddy, he's from Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson. Made using 2 lots of my very beginner handspun yarn. I think he is ugly but Maddie loves him :)

I've made this BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket) for a friends new baby. Hope it still fits as he is growing very well!

On the needles at the moment is a Milo tank top for Sullivan using Rowan Classic Luxury Cotton in a yummy bitter/milk chocolate colourway. Photos soon...

Oh, I'm feeling a bit sad because there is a man on his way up from Weymouth to collect Bluey. I think I'll commiserate with crispy chilli beef and ginger prawns for tea....

Let me update you...

I've been spending too much time on facebook and neglecting my poor old blog!

Sullivan and I fed the baby ducks this morning, so sweet. Last year there were loads but only 7 today, hopefully it is because it is early in the year and not many have hatched yet. I hope it is nothing to do with the tractor and digger from the Environment Agency that were in the duck field this morning...

I'm actually writing this through tears at the moment as I have just listed my lovely bus on eBay. It has been decided that we need to sell him in order to save money and I am so so sad. Unfortunately there is no going back now as my Dad lent us the money to get Bluey fixed so we have to sell him in order to pay Dad back.

One of the reasons I agreed to move here was because I could drive and had my own car. Luckily I've made some great friends now but I am dreading the isolation that will possibly come with not being able to jump in the car and go places. I know it's only a lump of metal and there are worse things that could be happening but I am still so very very sad. :(

Let's hope we get a good price for him at least.

Happy post next time.
