A New Year, flying by...................

Yet again the year is flying by...Summer is sucking big time here in Australia.  Floods, fire and cooler than normal temperatures...Great for me, because I knit!!!  And I have been doing a fair bit of that.  I have a lot of babies coming in April/May so I am knitting for them...

Have a look....
This one is for my niece who is blessing us with my first great niece in May.

This one is for the daughter of a net friend in the USA, who is having a boy in May also.
This one hasn't been washed and blocked yet so it looks a bit small and curly.  I don't have an owner for it yet so it may be sold at the huge sheep show in July.  Same goes for the one beneath which is the same pattern as the first one. 
Here they are blocked....


I'm doing this one cause I can, I am loving knitting these round shawls.  The wool is handspun Blue Faced Leicester Superwash so perfect for the modern girl.  They won't be cheap to buy, about $250, they are future Heirlooms, perfect for your first grandbaby (any baby actually)  I can knit to order if anyone is interested, as I said above the first two have homes but the blue and the red are up for sale.  Anyone interested? feel free to drop me a line

SOAP SOAP SOAP

The show went well.  Not as well as I would have liked but well enough... Now it's soap I am doing a lot of...Yet another old craft no...
