Update..update..update..

It's been a while I know since my last post, I have been playing around on facebook and have let my other computer hobbie fall by the wayside...
I have been knitting though, that never stops. Although we have had daylight savings start here and the kids have taken a while to adjust to their new bedtime, so have been going to bed later...grrrr! They are lovely kiddies though, here's a photo just to show how lucky I am. (A bit blurry it was taken on my phone, but they were chillin' out at the department store)



Well, my knitting.....



I am working on five things (a lot for me), but a lot of them are socks, so it's not so bad. I knit so slowly, that five things is likely to take me two years to finish. And that is bad because there are so many new things I want to knit. My queue list on Ravelry is getting longer and longer....
  1. Cast on for a Cardigan for Arwen in Sirdar Baby Bamboo it is a pretty yarn and knits up quite nicely, very even and neat. I'm using the 138 Waterbaby colour.

  2. My Wild Flower Shawl - disaster disaster disaster!!. I added and extra two yarn overs and now have two extra holes...oh woe is me, I have no idea how to fix this!! There are two rows of stocking stitch in between the pattern so I think I have to frog till these rows, then try and pick them up there, hmmm, it's been put in the too hard basket for a while.


3. Bush socks, these are some dk socks made from Jo Sharp's dk wool, in bright red. No problems here...

4. Still going on Roza's sock that I talked about in an earlier post. One down

, one to go.

5. And last but not least my little Debbie Bliss Booties, of which I also have one down, one to go. Not much to say here, don't really like them very much, so.....



And for a sad personal piece too, my Mum, who I'm very close to had a heart 'turn' last week. She has already had a heart attack and by pass surgery and now, two years later had pains and something go on. She has a specialist appointment in a couple of weeks, but at the moment they are thinking maybe she had another mild heart attack....such worrying news. I am scared for her but am trying to not let on...

Well. Bye. Then.
