Hats, scarfs, and dishcloths

I have been busy knitting slowly away at my stash. I have completed a hat and scarf in a mauve boucle yarn which is going to the Knit4charities March charity. I have completed a black and white scarf in a black/white chunky yarn combined with black/white ostrich type yarn which will be on sale at the May sale at Ribbonwood centre, also for that sale is a brown Bamboo/Wool yarn, it was nice and easy to knit.

The other item I have done is a pink dishcloth with a heart pattern, this is for the SNB exhibition in April.

My ambitious project for the SNB exhibition in April is a Christening gown in 2ply pure wool, I have not long started that and only have knitted about 4 inches so far.

I have also done a few more pattern repeats on the blanket for #2 son.

still stashing along

I can't show what I have been knitting over the last couple of weeks as my camera seems to have gone 'walkabout'. No-one seems to know where it has gone, but it has gone.

I finished more stash knitting with a matching hat and scarf in a boucle yarn in a nice soft mauve colour which is for the March knit for knit4charities, a beanie that is going to Burma (I can't remember the new name for it), to children through the Red Cross organisation. I have knitted a nice black and white two yarn and two tone colour scarf, I am currently knitting a light brown scarf using Bamboo/Wool yarn (70% bamboo, 30% wool) made in Italy, both of these scarfs will be for sale at the May Craft exhibition at the Ribbonwood Centre, Dapto (NSW Australia).

I have a beautiful long christening gown pattern in 2ply which I am going to knit for the SNB Exhibition in Wollongong in April and then maybe I will put it for sale at the May exhibition at Ribbonwood Centre.

I went to the NSW Knitters Guild AGM last saturday, they had some yarn from Bendigon Mills for sale, it was pure wool 8ply, 200g balls for $5, I touched them, I picked them up, I fondled them, then Tianne and Irene grabbed me and walked my away to lunch and told me to remember I am on a yarn diet, yeah yeah, But thankyou, you saved me from messing up my Bustalong commitment. But is was very nice, a soft off white with flecks of red, blue, green and yellow through it, it would have made some lovely jumpers for Guardian Angel project that sends garments to place like Mongolia etc each winter.

Other knitting for the SNB exhibition I have done this week is a bright pink 'dishcloth', the theme is going to be "Shabby Chic", so a lot of old fashioned items are being knitted for the exhibition. This exhibition is held at the Old Court House, Belmore Basin, Wollongong, it is such a lovely old building and right across the road from Belmore Basin (Wollongong Harbour).

I was looking in our local bookstore the other week and noticed a new release book "The Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs, I had to have it, but didn't have the money, so on pay day I went back and bought the book, It reminded me of the Tuesday (every 2nd week) knitting I do with some girls from SNB at CRK Daisy Design shop, I knew I had to have this book and read it.
