Now that this has been sent to it’s new owner, I can post a pic!
Pattern: Trillian by Strickmich
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter MCN in Bev’s Lava Lamp (gift from Randomknits!)
Needles: 3.5mm
This was a gift for MIL for her birthday! The construction of this shawlette/neckerchief was really a delight to knit, but you do need a bigger skein, such as wollmeise, to do the size justice. But it’s lovely and soft, and it will be a great accessory for her upcoming Europe trip!

This week is a big one. It was our anniversary on Monday, Tille turned 16 months old yesterday, and it’s my birthday this weekend. But my mind is elsewhere..
A pretty non-descript photo, right? Well, yeah. It’s 8 months since my spine decided to gang up against me, and I was left bedridden, in and out of hospital, reliant on heavy pain medication and friends to (literally) pick me up, and then using a walking frame to get around. The good news is, 8 months later I am functioning again as normal, and I am oh so very grateful for this. Mobility is something I dont take for granted any more.
I have never experienced pain like that before (and I have had 4 kids!) and I dont care to again, thanks!

Happy easter to you all! (If you celebrate it!) We don’t do much, really, apart from enjoying some extra bonus time with family and friends.
Armed with lots of food dye and vinegar, I boiled up some eggs ready for the kids to decorate and dye..
Into the dye they go..
And out..
Lots of fun!
And it would be just *wasteful* to pour all that dye down the drain, so..
I am having a fun time playing with a friend’s camera on loan to me, so here is an obligatory bathroom mirror self portrait (man, my mirror needs cleaning!)
The day began well, too, with a delicious brekkie cooked by the fella. Multigrain english muffins topped with sauteed spinach, smoked salmon, and lemon and black pepper, with some thyme mushrooms on the side.
Happy easter! Don’t eat too much chocolate!

And this month’s lucky dip is…….
CRAZY ZAUBERBALL!!!!!!
But I am a little socked out, so this will be something a little different.. something that will show off the CRAZINESS! An Augustine Shawlette.. a triangular karius shaped clapotis redux. Win.
It’s been a week of quick n dirty FO’s.. here is another one I whipped up to go as a gift..
A hyperbolic scrubbie in Anchor Magicline. I love these.. they are quick, look like some kind of weird coral brain, and are great for the bath/shower, or in a scratchy acrylic, as a pot scrubber. This will be going to someone interstate..
