Wholly Shit......

where has the year gone. I just saw my christmas tree count down on my blog and it said 31 days to Christmas.....that can't be right.....it is only April....well isn't it.

Sewing up....is hard to do

I don't like sewing up knitted items. I wish they all came in one piece, would be so much easier.

I did manage to sew up the lemon baby 3 piece set, sew buttons on the blue baby 3 piece set, sew up the teacosy. I just need to get around to sewing up my jumper and getting buttons for the cardigan, then it would be all up to date.

I am still knitting on the socks and have started a 2ply scarf, they should have been finished, but sometimes life gets in the way.


We went for a breakfast ride this morning with friends, we rode through Jamberoo, up saddleback mountain road into Kiama and met more friends there. It was a very scenic ride and a very relaxing breakfast with friends. Yah for Sundays.

When we got home it had really started to warm up, I planted seedlings I got yesterday at the Albion Park Spring Festival, when finished with some gardening it was really hot, so I changed and got into the pool to cool off. Gotta love a pool in summer.

This is one of the finished felted christmas boots with christmas chocolates. They are so cute and will make a wonderful gift.

T'was the month before Christmas....

and all is on track.

I have deviated from my knitting list a bit, I have to knit a christmas decoration for show n tell at knitters guild in a few weeks, so I got out one of the christmas kits I got in the sales in January and knitted some felted boots, they are to hold baubles or wrapped lollies/chocolates. So I thought I would knit them, then I had a good idea that they could become gifts for the people I buy for at work (in my department - there are 4 I do something for christmas - 3 women and 1 male (boss). So I knittted 2 each night, then yesterday morning I put them through the washing machine, firstly did them on warm instead of hot (it was early and I was getting ready for work), so through the machine again, and WOW, they turned out just great.


Lunch times I try to walk, it has been pretty wet and cold this past week (not sure what the go is seeing as it is spring) so walked to the local woolworths and got some christmas wrapped chocolates the wrap colours and going to look great in the felted boots, so 4 gifts down, I am pretty happy with myself.

I still haven't stitched up about 4 items I have knitted, they are on my list (and I make plenty of lists), so hopefully I will get to some over the weekend.

I have KITGO today, we are going to be at "Viva La Gong" a festival kind of thing Wollongong City Council put on each year, we did Gorilla Knitting last year for the festival, this year we are going to go and knit there again. The only thing is it has been wet this week and it is very cloudy outside at the moment, so the alternate venue of Collegians Club could be the go. Which will be pretty handy for me as I have to go to the bike shop and get oil for DH and the club is right next door. I am hoping for a sunny day though or no rain so we can sit outside at the festival and knit.
