A small koha

 I know a lovely lady who has chosen to do something pretty extraordinary for a couple struggling with infertility.  Unfortunately things aren't all that smooth sailing at the moment so a bunch of us have got together to give her some gifts, to show how much we respect her and the decision she has made.
My contribution is 200g 8 ply wool.  I dyed it in my slow cooker using green and pink food colouring.  Its a little muddier than I would have preferred, but I'm happy with it, and I really hope that she likes it too.

Finished vest

 I finally finished my new vest for winter baby today.  I was beginning to think that I wouldn't get it done at all.  In the course of knitting it, I reworked the pattern a little bit, so while I'll be releasing the pattern, it'll be in testing phase.

The photo quality is poor because my camera hates me, and I only remembered that I would need photos at 5pm.  And its hot off the needles, so not blocked either, but you get the idea.

Joining up with Creative Friday over at Natural Suburbia tonight.

Stepping back


I've decided to step back from blogging for a little bit.  I'll still be posting about crafty stuff, but there will be no more weekly projects until some time after the baby has born.  Its just getting a bit hard to craft and blog about it.

There will hopefully some knitting to show off as well.
