Molly and the Frog


What a beautiful bank holiday weekend! It's so lovely to have some time off and I am determined to finish the first Bayerische sock. Trying to stay away from the Posh Yarn sale today but the lovely colours up there keep calling me back.
And on a non-knitting note - Molly found a frog in the garden yesterday and bothered it until it croaked off into the pond - at least it's safe there!

Bayerische and Lime


Bayerische WIP #1
Originally uploaded by charleyfarleypie
Here is a pic of the current project. Bayerische socks by Euny Jang. They are really fiddly but good because you have to concentrate on them and that takes my mind off all the other crap going on at the moment.

Popped into a new (ish) yarn shop in Kingly Court on the weekend called "all the fun of the fair". Really small but lovely with the cutest knitted cupcakes! Bought two skeins of Opal sock yarn - I like to support!

Everyday a new mag seems to pop through the door so I am busy planning my winter projects :) Loving the "Tilted Duster" and "Luna" dress from Interweave Knits.

Also taking delivery tomorrow of my new Apple Macbook tomorrow - too excited! I actually had a dream about it last night :)

Moonbeam


So here is the finished Moonbeam for baby Eloise. It's so tiny - I hope it will fit her - she's probably grown so much since I last saw her.
I'm now trawling the books and mags I have trying to find a simple tank/camisole to knit up the coral coloured Lucia I have here in the stash.
Any ideas welcome!
