Quick whip up!

Well there is a new baby in town, so that means bring out the machine and scrap fabric and get to it.

I think that next time I would edge it differently, but the next one I like heaps so may have to make young Sophia one soon.

And the back, I think is really sweet.

I also knitted this little cap a few weeks ago from a debbie bliss wool.

The New Sack.

Here it is, I brought some laminated fabric from a shop that was closing down. It was my favourite shop to go and be inspired by wonderful fabrics. Anyway they were having a sale so I went along, as I have a few projects in my head. It is an AMY BUTLER fabric which I love.
I catch public transport in my town and sometimes carry around my Lucy and the powder room bag, It has been great and I washed it last week as it is made from canvas type material, but the strap would dig into my shoulder when I put too much in it and it didn't always fit everything in. So out came the Laminated fabric and hello new bag.  I think it is great. I made two one small one to hold my knitting and a rough prototype which is not going to make a grand appearance anytime soon. Anyway here it is.

It also is perfect on those wet days and the rain wipes straight off, I just had to fill it up and see if it carries my favourite mag HOME BEAUTIFUL which it did and the Umbrella.  I think I should make more but I only brought one metre, Bad hindsight.

Raspberry.

I have started two new projects this week, One is a raspberry pleated scarf/shawl which I am knitting in 100% Bamboo it is so soft.  It is coming along well.  The other is a Tweeny Doll or should I say doll's for all my nieces.

it also has a pleating on one side which is why i loved the pattern. (excuse sunspots) My Bad.

Must go off to bed, I was left behind, man and little kitty are waiting. Night.

Finished.

Well I have finished sewing up my cropped box jacket, it has kept me
warm over the last week as we have had a few cold days and lots of rain.

Daylight savings in one more day that makes me extremely happy.  

All The Pieces

Well here it is, all the pieces. 

I have patiently been waiting for a week now to go into the wool shop to learn how to join my knitting the right way.  It has been a joy to knit as the box sticthing is easy and not boring to do.  I already have my next project in sight and the following after that.  It is a shame that I really got into it at the end of winter. Anyway my mum has given me a little project to do, so that will follow along side my next knitting project.

It is not knitting, it is a sewing project.  Can't wait for daylight savings next week. Anyway on to the sewing up part.

Pamper Day

Oh what a feeling, I had a really great day today.  First it started with a workout with cindy from Fitterfasterstronger it is always a full on Cardio workout on a friday.  You normally feel like you can't give anymore, then it leaves you with the rest of the day on a high.

I then got rang by Lucy And The Powder Room for a complimentary mini facial, before my haircut which I have had a re-style in a 20's style which I love thanks to Angela. Now I really should have put a face on put I am showing the haircut.

So all in all it was a good day, plus the knitting is coming along nicely.



 

Welcome to me!

Well, it has been a little over a week since I decided to start a blog.  It has been my love of reading and being inspired by other blogger's that motivated me to start.  I have been thinking about where to start, the Eat part or Knit part? And as I haven't been sewing that would be pointless.  I am fairly new to knitting (6 months), it blows my mind every time that a ball of wool can end up to be a garment with a few click clacks of the needle.   My Niece was the first recipient of my first ever pattern following. The bug was then started. I have now started my first garment for myself the pattern is Cleckheaton Cropped Jacket. I am really excited and can't wait to wear it.

The wool of choice is naturally me in 8-ply merino & cashmere which I love, Thanks to Mishi Yarns.  I have finished the back and now on to the front. I can't promise to be here everyday, but I will try to inspire you all, as you inspire me.


See you soon.
