See I have been knitting.....

I am off work with a tooth infection, the side of my face looks like I swallowed a football. I am on strong antibiotics for the next week and a half and then off to the dentist....YUK.

Anyway yesterday I was feeling a bit better and decided to sew up the two "Heather" pattern baby matinee jackets I have been knitting. The first one is size 6months and is going to Ireland with friends for their new baby grand-daughter. The second one is for my grand-daughter so I did her a size Newborn as it will be pretty cold when she is due in August. They both need buttons which I will try to remember to buy on the weekend.

See the two together for size difference.

Pattern: Heather (Patons Pattern)
Yarn: Patons Big Baby 4ply
Colour: 3909
Needles: Sizes 3.25mm & 2.75mm
They both took 2 balls and a bit of a 3rd ball.

I am going to try out Rae's baby sock pattern (from CR&K Daisy Design in Daisy Street, Fairy Meadow - Phone: 02 4285 4531) with the left over yarn. I may cast on for them this afternoon as I want to get back to the baby shawl I am knitting. So a baby sock and shawl will be good knitting for anytime, socks for when I can't concentrate so much and the shawl for when all my brain matter is working (well I hope that kicks in for a while to come).

4 more days then the auction for our house. I hope it goes well, so I hope everyone will cross everything and pray for a buyer and good price for our home. Boy this is so stressful, you would think it would get easier the more you do this, but going to auction is new for us and as it gets closer, more stressful. All the hope, anxiety and whatever other feelings we can muster, good or bad seem to be coming out in leaps and bounds. I will be glad to have it sell either before or at the auction - for a good price that we both can be happy with. We have been looking at other homes that will be less stressful (mortgage will be less), and another new start in a another home. Looks good to me right now.
