Catch Up

I'm amazed at how long its been between posts, life has been so busy with work, family visits and Paul graduation (now officially a Doctor yay!). So now things have quietened down a bit Ive finally got around to taking a few pictures of the patterns I love from the Japanese knitting/crochet book (てあみニットはる・なつ―そでつけなしのくつろぎ服 (Let’s Knit series), Isbn 9784529046787) that I mentioned in the previous post......

...there are so many cute patterns, not sure were to start!

On the project front, I have been mainly working on my Whisper Cardigan (Ravelry link), by Hannah Fettig. I'm now ready to start the short rows and finish off the bottom of the cardigan...

Its a great pattern and very cleaver construction, and as always I love working with the Malabrigo yarn....

I have also cast on for the Featherweight Cardigan, another of Hannah Fettig patterns, Im making this one for my Mum.



On the crochet front, I have started the Hexagon Blanket and have been having heaps of fun crocheting hexagons out of the Morris Yarn Paddington which I brought when I was in Sydney. I love the colours available for this yarn and am really enjoying playing with different colour combinations...

...and yes I am deliberately showing off my new Ravelry bag which arrived in the mail a few weeks ago.

I have been meaning to buy a project bag from Ravelry for some time, I was so happy when I turned the parcel over and saw this sticker on the back...

I even cut it out and kept it:)

And last but not least, I finally joined the NSW Knitters Guild, I have been meaning to for ages but since you cant pay online I kept putting it off.

Cant wait to check out their library!
