Waistcoat finished

Some of you may remember that last year I mentioned that I was knitting a waistcoat/short sleeved Cardigan from Noro Designer Mini Knits by Jenny Watson. I got the knitting finished at the end of last year and then it languished on the finishing pile waiting to get the seams stitched up until I gave myself a boot up the backside and got it done.

Design 26 from Noro Designer Mini Knits by Jenny Watson, knit in Fyberspates Scrumptious DK. I should mention that there is an errata for this pattern here

Christmas Stitches SAL Update

Here's my latest update picture of The Drawn Threads Christmas Stitches. We only have one section left to go so I should be finished next week. Yay!

I'm running a bit late with my update as Rosie and I took advantage of the glorious weather we've had here in the UK this week to go to visit my parents who live on the east coast of Yorkshire for a few days. Rosie was a little unsure of the beach to start with but she soon got the hang of it and got a good collection of pebbles in her bucket.

Buttons and Blooms for the Cure

I pulled this Blackbird Designs kit from Elegant Stitch out of my stash as my small project for April and managed to get it 'finished' last week while Rosie had a long nap :)

If you haven't been already I recommend a visit over to Blackbird Designs blog, Barb and Alma have me drooling every time they post and they are running a competition over there at the moment.

Easter Eggs

As she was only three weeks old last Easter, this year was Rosie's first opportunity to discover about Easter Eggs. She soon got the idea

but while taken with the chocolate she much preferred playing with the box LOL

Camillas

My parents bought Rosie a Camilla when she was born hoping that it would flower for her birthday. It didn't quite but it is flowering it's heart out now.

One of Rosie's favourite things to do now is to wander round the garden looking at all the plants coming up.

I'd like to wish all my visitors a Happy Easter. I hope you've all had a lovely day.

Christmas Stitches SAL Update

Another update of Drawn Threads Christmas Stitches. This time we stitched the bauble section (which would make a lovely Christmas ornament if stitched on it's own).
