So I made a boob. For educational purposes only, I swear. Well, that’s AFTER it got passed around at the SnB Christmas Party, squeezed, photographed and generally providing many giggles..
It’s very.. nipply. And tactile. You catch yourself squeezing it without realising..
a very very quick post..
I’m computerless while my beloved iMac is at the Apple Store being repaired. Needless to say, it’s near impossible to blog/pay bills/surf the web etc on an iPhone only! I’ve snatched a few moments on N’s MacBook to bring you this..
A stripy cotton cardi made from Debbie Bliss DK Cotton/BWM 8ply cotton Noir, 4mm needles, with this pattern.
Just have that other front band to go, buttons, and blocking! I made the 12 mos size, but downsized from 10ply to DK. So a fat 9 month old, then 
Endless ends to seam in, but the colours are so worth it.
Oh, and what’s this? A squishy white bag found on my doorstep? OH NOES! (Oh, yes!)
It was a sale. A SALE. Yarn diet – broken.
And yes, I’m aware that I totally stuffed up my Blogtoberfest thing. But seriously, are you going to mess with someone this pregnant? Nah, didnt think so..
Another new shadecard from the BWM, and it’s just in time for some summer knitting!
I kinda like it I can see some summer tops, tunic dresses, and even baby singlets in this. Ah, BWM, how I love thee! And at $10.50 for 200grams, how can you not?
I dyed up 150gm (3 balls) of the machine wash 8ply I picked up in Bendigo for just $2 each..
From this..
To this
Very difficult to catch the right colouring – the light here isn’t great this morning. But the wool feels beautiful and soft, and the dye took BEAUTIFULLY. Not bad for food-dye from the Asian Grocer, at just $2.30 a pop I am steering clear of Landscapes dyes while pregnant, even though I have some SERIOUSLY gorgeous 12ply I want to colour!
As for this batch.. well it’s destined to go on the needles today for a verrry special project..
I have been meaning to post this for the last week.. I bought some beautiful hand-made buttons from the VERY talented Teri’s brand new Etsy store.
The three blue ones are *amazing* – they literally glow.
and a beautiful rainbow one..
