A little somethin'-somethin' I bought on the way back to the office today from Sunspun. I love this colour. Maybe another pair of a 3rd pair of Noro Camp Out Mitts. We'll see.

Some extra stash bought from destashes from the girls that I stayed with. How lucky am I?

Bendigo Woollen Show

Sooo, I didn't tell you all about my trip away with the knitting crew to the Bendigo Woollen Show. It was great...well apart from getting gastro which I caught from my 5yr old! Thanks Kai.

We stayed at an amazing place called Lochinver about 45mins out of Bendigo. There were about 10 of us staying in that house. A lovely old homestead on a farm. Lots of rooms. Lots of places to knit or sew or chat in front of the fire.

I scored myself a lovely bit of stash at the show. A lot of yarns I'd never heard or let alone tried before. And a few that I have.

Chuck finished!

I finally finished my version of Chuck. It worked out really well despite my heavy modifications. I was a bit nervous about it all, but apparently with no need. A very cosy well fitting number :) You can find details of my MANY modifications here.

Baby Tea Leaves FINISHED!

Well here it is. The little cardi that took 8 hours to make. Shame it took a smidge over one ball of Tosh Sport 80/10/10 in Robin's Egg. This is 12-18mths. Maybe the smaller sizes would use one ball. This thing is sooooo soft!

It's husbeast's niece's 1st birthday party next weekend. What do you get a baby who gets totally spoilt and has everything she could ever need or want? A handknit. I thought this gorgeous cardi will do the trick. I'm thinking little red buttons. Hopefully I can get it all done by next weekend??

Inspiration

One last post for tonight, promise :)

A couple of sweaters that I've been completely inspired by. That's the last thing I need. MORE awesome yarny inspiration. I especially can't get the sweater with the red stripes out of my mind. So many WIPs, so little kitting time...sigh.
