Scrambled or fried

Well Donni I just must have one too!.



The Site Fights Egg



I do hope I can care for it right, I wouldn't want it to spoil.

And the stashalong is going along

Well it is the end of week 2, and I haven't been the least interested in buying more yarn. It has been an extremely busy week for me and to top it off I have the worst head cold going.

So not much done, and I even frogged a baby jumper as I didn't like the way it was looking, I have started a different pattern the good old faithful "Heather" Pattern, an oldie but a goodie.








Other things done are some more feathers scarfs, I am so over feathers yarn, I ended up taking a couple of full balls and all the little bits of feathers to Knitters Guild yesterday, and it wasn't long before they were all safely in someone elses hands going to their lovely stashes.





Wow, one drawer empty and four to go. It didn't take long to fill that empty drawer with some lovely yarns off the floor.


There is some 8ply baby yarn to do an Aran baby jumper for a friends grandson, some Filatura Di Crosa Ramie and Filatura Di Crosa Centolavaggi, and some cotton and some Hot Socks yarn, all which may get done after I finish a few other things first.

Donni is going to be at the Kiama markets tomorrow, so I will have to try and get there to check out this new yarn she has, I have to be strong though and not buy any, there is nothing to say I can't order some is there, maybe that is not how the stashalong works, but it has me motivated and I am like a mad woman trying to finish so much so quickly, my brain just can't keep up with all the thoughts and what to make next. This will all change after our May exhibition and sale in Kiama, as then I am going to start that circular cardigan or whatever it is called from Interweave, I have all the yarn ready to go.

I must say that this easter is turning out very nicely except for the head cold. I have eaten way too many chocolate things, but I am determined to have them all gone by tomorrow night.

My sister has asked my if I would knit for my niece, she is doing Fashion Design and has to design a knitted garment, which I will then knit, at this stage I think it is going to be a vest. I am so excited to be doing this, she has designed some really nice things in the past, I just hope I can do it justice.

Anyway I am going back to sit and do some more knitting, I just finished a little knitted thing on toothpicks, I was going to make a broch, but I think now it may become a card.

A week of stash reduction

I have been knitting through so much of my stash, the feathers yarn drawer is nearly empty, well empty of all the full balls. I have made some beanies and scarfs with the feathers yarn. Whatever doesn't sell at the May sale and exhibition will be sent to a charity for homeless.



We went to Galong (out west past Yass) this weekend, it is usually an annual ride in November, but they decided to go this weekend aswell. It was nice sunny days, but a bit on the windy side, and the wind made the chill factor a bit too cold. It is nice and warm now we are back home.

Here's a few bikes out the front of the pub at Galong before being parked for the night around the back.








The pub has a lot of history about the town and people displayed around the walls, this is the theme in the pool room, with Ned Kelly featured well.
