Nearly a year…

Has gone by and not much knitting since. But I have been productive! Here is to introducing Elizabeth’s baby sister Catherine.

Catherine was born in May is 8 weeks old. She is a very content baby and loves her older sister and we are very happy to have her. Indeed blessed to have her.

I am currently working on Catherine's first knitted garment i.e. by me. It is the same pattern as the one I have been working on for Elizabeth, which is nearly finished.

My own pattern (Buttercup cardigan) which has evolved as I have gone along… Will share once it is complete.

Aleita is done!

Yes! I have finally completed her. My verdict



Well, I like (love is too strong a word to use at the moment) her, even though she curls at the bottom, does not quite sit where I want her to nor does she hug me…




But I am sure that after a lovely scented bath, massage and some sun bathing, she will comply.

Then I will love her…

Ravelympics

It is a sad fact, but I have bowed out of Ravelympics. I was so excited too but…

1. I had not finished Aleita by the start and I did not want to have another UFO
2. I did not fancy knitting to deadline another so soon after the last one, and
3. I had/have lots of domestic stuff to catch up on.

So, from here on in I will be a spectator and not a Ravelympian. It has taken all my strength to make this decision, but I must remain on the sidelines. I am sure that spectating too will bring its own pleasures.

Good luck to all Ravelympians.
