A splendid weekend indeed

The weekend started with coffee, breakfast muffins and fresh guava jam from Kerikeri. Steadily, all plans of concreting, log splitting and window painting were put to the side and crafting took hold! Hooray!

A much delayed birthday pressie for Lara was finally completed - my first feather and fan stitch in a linen/cotton mixed yarn. I found a sweet wooden pin for it in Wild and Woolly.


I'm re-vamping my Baby Beanies on Toggle so got down and churned out a few aubergines and blueberries. I've got some new photos done too and need to sit down for some photoshopping work - babies are hard work to shoot!


Another project finished up was the green beret from She Knits in Cleakheaton Studio Mohair. My band was pretty loose so I threaded some skinny elastic through - all good now. Trying to take photos of a beret is impossible - all the pattern is on the back - but I think from this selection of over-exposed shoots you should get a feeling for it!!







A final project was making some hot water bottle covers out of an old semi-felted jersey. I got 3 covers out of 1 adult jersey. mmm toasty feet!



Another work trip coming up this week to Malaysia - I've never been there and am very excited at the prospect of Malaysian curries and warm weather!
Keep on clicking folks ...
