As time goes by...

and wow is it going by. I can't get my ahead around the fact that it is the middle of August. Only a few weeks of winter to go, well a couple of months before it really starts to warm up a bit. And at this time of year I always start thinking of Christmas. Maybe if I learn not to think about it, it may come around a bit slower.

I have finished the size 2 poncho, knitted in Patons Mystique, mohair/acrylic blend. Yes it is an old yarn, more stash busting getting done around here.


Yesterday I finally got around to sewing up the blue baby cardigan, bootees and hat, just need 5 buttons for it and then it is really finished.

I have been knittting for me this week, another jumper in Shadow Tweed, and boy does this year knit up quick, I did the sleeve with some knitting yesterday in between 4 loads of washing, driving over and mowing my parents lawn while they are away, catching up on things I taped through the week, etc. I hope to finish the second sleeve tonight.

I am nearly back up to date with my list of knitting, I should have been finished this jumper today and started on the next item, but it maybe mid week before I get this jumper sewn up and collar knitting on etc. Not bad I don't think.

But the house does think it is a big deal, as nothing has been done and it is getting a bit too messy, even for me.

I am also in a destashing moood, not of yarn, I am not that good. But of cookbooks, I love cookbooks, but I don't use them, so I am listing some on ebay in a hope that someone else might be able to make good use of them, otherwise they are going to my works lunch room, as I know they will go from there. I have also destashed 5 kilos of fat which I am feeling pretty good about.
