Magic Loop Baby Socks
May 8, 2011 by sunrisesister
I am very pleased and proud to release a brand new knitting pattern, Magic Loop Baby Socks – a pattern for baby or toddler socks, designed specifically for the magic loop technique on one long circular needle.
You can buy it now via Ravelry
It’s only $3.50 USD!
A big thank you to my knitterly friends for their support and encouragement, and a special thank you to Christina for her help with photos, and to the amazing Anne at Ink and Tea for making the PDF such a joy to read.
If you are a newbie to the magic loop idea, please give it a go. I would love any feedback you have on this pattern, or if you spot any errata. Enjoy!!

Easter Fun
April 22, 2011 by sunrisesister
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!

Recovering
April 15, 2011 by sunrisesister
Well, the good news is: the arm/hand is recovering very well! Much smaller and neater scars this time, and the stitches are staying put for a changes. The cast came off on Monday, and I have been able to do lots of things – cooking cleaning driving and washing.
And a teensy bit of knitting.
Yes, already. Pretty amazing huh? Nothing extreme, but purely by accident, I designed a sock pattern! I am typing it up now, and will be taking lots of photos to go with it. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, I have finally popped my Melbourne Comedy Festival cherry! I went to see Arj Barker on wednesday with friends, and can’t wait to go see Gabriel Iglesias this sunday night with N!
I had better go bust out the camera for some pattern photos!
