Cotton Top for me

I have finished something for me. An 8ply cotton top knitted from Bendigo Cotton using a Bendigo Pattern. It is nice to knit with, it took 400g of cotton. I was trying to get it finished to wear on christmas day, but just couldn't get it done, but did finish it today on our Boxing Day holiday.


I am knitting a blanket in the same pattern as I did my parents and in-laws last Christmas, it is for #2 son, his birthday is in July so I will take my time and get it finished for then, which is in time for when it is cold here.

Christmas day was great, we had a really nice sunny day, sometimes the wind was really strong, but most of the time it was just lovely. We had bacon, eggs and hash browns at our next door neighbours at about 7.30am, my parents arrived around 9am to pick up some outdoor chairs then we all headed off to my sister's home for the day. The boys and girlfriends spent from around lunchtime on at their girlfriends families, a very relaxing and fun day. In Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales snowy mountains regions had snow on christmas day, how weird is that for a summer day. Anyway today after visiting friends I sat down and finished my top and now am blogging, before going and sitting down and relaxing before having an early night tonight. It can be so tiring at this time of year.

It's great to hear that you had such a nice and calm Christmas! And I really love the top you made, how gorgeous it is, and the colour of the yarn that you've been using is so beautiful! Fantastic job!
