Hiya. As those of you not sunning yourself in Spain would be aware, it's been getting pretty chilly lately (probably more so for those down south!) The change of weather has lead to the emergence of the oil heater, which means it's well and truly knitting season. This is the best explanation I can come up with for the rush of baby cardigans coming off the needles at the moment. Here's another, just finished, sitting on some of my favourite Amy Butler fabric. This one took a week of sitting on the couch watching the news (and the 7.30 report, and American Dad, and Family Guy, and Scrubs, and Arrested Development, and Lateline) to get through, which isn't too bad. It's always awkward at this time of the year when it's cold and dark when you leave work, it just makes me want to sit at home and knit all day. Sigh. Anyway, the pattern's from Cleckheaton's 10 Simple Baby Knits in 8 ply, knitted in country naturals. The pattern's pretty straight forward, although I wasn't much of a fan of the sleeve seems, but maybe that's just because i'm not very good at them. It needs buttons, but I don't have any, so that will have to wait until I get a chance to go up to the button shop. I might just drop in to Leo Monk for a drool while i'm up there Kel!
Oh, and since we're on strike against Spotlight until they stop using nasty legislation to exploit their staff (Shame Spotlights Shame!), thought I would let you know that Tapestry Craft is having a May Sale! Wooo Hoooo!
Wow, have just realised that's a lot of TV...
