WIP: Cardi

15 Feb 2010

Well, the body is finished now, and now I am onto the sleeves. Same pattern as the Licorice Allsort cardi I made, but a size 12mo for my nephew. I’ve been a bad bad bad bad aunty, and havent made him much yet.

Sticks: 4.5mm Addi Click
Yarn: BWM Luxury 10ply in black and ice.

WIP: Daybreak

My daybreak shawl is coming along slowly but surely, managing a couple of rows each day..

Crappy pic, sorry. All my online time these days is done via my iPhone, as my desk is covered in shite inaccessible at this time.

I have been pondering on wether or not to continue my blog.. Its become difficult to post about anything personal here, as we are headed back into the Family Court next month. But you know, crafting never hurt anyone, and I love having this creative outlet.

This is where about 99% of my energies are currently going.. feeding, sleeping, cleaning, managing the household again bit by bit, and above all, staying healthy. I do NOT want to end up back in hospital a third time!

So off I go, managing a few stitches here and there, stealing a few moments to plan winter hats, and baby cardigans, and to lament my ambitious soaker sizing during pregnancy. At 3 weeks she is in size 00 – making all but one of my soakers unwearable! Ah well, I will pass them onto smaller bubbas..

I am going to put a bag of my undyed/white wool today, ready for skeining, and ready for the dyepot. I havent been able to use my Landscape dyes for 9 months, and Kool Aid/Food Dye just isnt the same!

That’s not totally true, they are all fine, fine, finished objects. Worth waiting for, every second. Things didnt exactly go to plan (but when do they?) but nothing a few weeks of recuperating and resting at home wont fix..

Welcome to the world, Matilda Elise Helen!
