Temptation

To come along to the guild meeting tomorrow

if my talk on colour isn't enough of an incentive to come - actually the cupcakes are to knock everyone out with sugar so that they are too comatose to understand the babble I will be embarking on........no no no it will be ok I am sure it will


and I made bikkies too - thins that at so moorish

More finished Objects

First up for those in the back stalls - these were completed a while back but as they were gifts so I have held off blogging

Firstly another Baby Surprise for Denyse's baby Annie who arrived in April. It was so much fun knitting for a fellow knitter. I knit the 8ply Zara - as I have been caught out by a 4ply EZBS just being way too small for most babies. I finished and posted it before Annie came which I know is a bit naughty but she wore it home from the hospital.



There was also the bunny which Annie's brother has adopted - so I will have to knit another soon for her I think. This is a classic Debbie Bliss pattern in Noro from the First Debbie Bliss noro book.



This was for the stashbusting swap over on Ravelry - and what fun I had knitting this. Kittens and fair isle and a bit of steeking. I slightly modified a hat pattern and used mostly yarn from my stash. I used 8plys of various types in the blues and the beige. It was most well received and with all swaps I breathed a sigh of relief. I always worry that I do not enough or too much - it is a fine line indeed.

Thank you so very much

To everyone that came - and apologies to those who weren't here sadly our house is not big enough to have asked everyone.



I had the best birthday ever.

It was such an awesome day - and I am sure my post birthday brain has forgotten some of the important details I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who was there

Welcome to our guest blogger, the Sock Victim

Hi SV here

On behalf of missfee: thanks everyone for coming yesterday, especially those who travelled far just to be here. We had an awesome time. It was wonderful to see everyone. And thanks for the lovely presents! (yarn, yarn, yarn, YARN)

missfee will be providing more updates when her macbook keyboard has dried out (red wine). It was a great party.

Thank you

knitters are awesome

I will have to collect my thoughts and soberness to write the proper thanks

but in the mean time


thank you so much


I am blushed and in awe of your generosity

feed them cake

I have had tea in bed - in my new pink dibben mug,
and been showered with Malabrigo sock wool - that makes 4 balls in total!!!!!

Now to get ready to partay!!

goodbye hello

Another year on and this time I am going to have a naught at the end of the number designated to me. I definitely think age is a state of mind, but I am really happy to have the experience of life accumulated so far.

Goodbye to the last ten years - gosh so much has happened and I really think I grew up, really found out whom this person is that I am, and I like her. The liking bit is still taking some time but we are getting there.

I found my tribe, in amongst a lot of yarn and fibre. Those knitters are special peeps indeed.

I found my best friend - Sock Victim where had you been?

I found the best job ever - and the best boss ever

I found out I can run, and re found my back bend too

Those kittens found me




Hello to the next bit and all the fun ahead - but I am going to take each day as it comes and goes.



So the cakes are baked
the cookies in a box waiting



and I think I have overdosed on sugar

baby surprise

It was with great delight I cast on this baby surprise for Viggo - what a cutie.

Viggo is son to some old film friends - I think I gave his dad his first TV job on Young Lions back in the day. When Viggo's mum rang and asked me to knit something I was super excited!!!!

And those buttons finish off EZ's great design so well - if I don't say so myself.


What a grin!
