CAMP FOX MIST

Central Park found in Inverell of all places

This little cutie drove me to drink. the finished product is lovely though.

A sweet pack of fabric from the lovely Emily. I have been instructed to make myself a quilt out of this one.

Miss Emily's quilt top she put together in one day. Amazing woman.

Camp Fox Mist was so much fun, lots of laughs and chocolate teamed with my favourite bunch of women make for a great weekend.

Knitting for me

Ages ago I bought a delicious custom skein of hand dyed yarn from the beautiful Courtney. When I received it I was so crazy in love that I knew I needed more so i could make myself a cardi for the freezing winters we have here.

Well, I received the rest and I am smitten.

 

I cast on  and knit like a demon possessed. It is lovely, I adore the little grey flecks in amongst all that aqua. I love the sweet girly colours.

I think I am going to have to go back to the bleached blonde of my teenage years and try to invoke a little Wendy James in me so I can wear these soft colours.

Works in progress

Upon reading a friends blog about her WIP's I have decided to have a stocktake of my own.

1. Grey crochet throw - Only two balls to go. I'll probably gift this to my Aunt.

2. First socks - One sock finished, secon 1/4 done. Mine, all mine

3. Green Scarf of many mistakes - Still got a long way to go withthis one and I am terrible at knitting lace. I love the green though.

4. Mohair G-string - Only about 2 feet of i-cord to go. Definitely going to my friend because she's kinky and will like it.

5. Granny bag - Once more square to make ends to weave in and lining to sew. Not sure what to do about a handle though. Gifting this one too.

6. Hexagon scarf - Boring me to death, I haven't touched this in over a year. My eldest likes it so I'll probably give it to her.

7. Blue socks - Almost done. Making these two at a time which I have decided is my style. Only a couple more rows and I can bind off.

8. Dragonfly shawl - On the edging, that said each row gets bigger than the last. This was supposed to be for my mother's wedding last May but meh! I'm lazy what can I say and I lost it for ages then I lost the pattern.

9. Pirate tri-corn - I love mindless crochet, I hopw it all turns out in the felt. Going to my brother. I'm sure he'll appreciate a hat as thick as a bear in the tropics.

I'm endeavouring to keep my WIP's under five from now on and will not cast on anything else until I finish an object. I have a terrible knack of starting a million things and finishing nothing. I'd like to churn out some objects instead of driving my family nuts with so many bags of yarn lying about the place.
