Mother’s Day is fast approaching. On one hand I need to work out what the heck we are going to give the three and a half mothers we need to buy for. On the other hand, I have to work out what the heck I want. Obviously this year it will need to be knit [...]

I found ANZAC Day to be quite productive on the knitting front. I did not march this year, for the first time in quite a while. The SuperSpunk did and Purl and I stayed home. For a while. Then we went to Spotlight but it wasn’t open! I wanted a button to finish off the [...]

I am off to Canberra in August! Some people I know won a competition on the weekend, and I have to chaperone them to CANBERRA IN AUGUST!!! Excited much?? Anyone free for coffee?
Anyway, back to knitting. I added to the scarf:
It will be posted onward tomorrow. I have also been plodding away at a couple [...]

I am back in the land of the living, after three days on camp! I survived, albeit on about seven hours sleep over two nights! Consequently I am absolutely exhausted! However, it was great fun and the kids were fabulous and there weren’t too many casualties and everyone went home tired and happy. That’s camp [...]

Well, I am. To camp tomorrow for two nights. Wish me luck – I may just need it.
In knitting news, I have completed the first section of my scarf and sent it off on its way around the world. It was quite an ordeal to get it past the postman! I had to sign forms [...]

. . . the problem started early. This is me, around twenty five years ago!
Oh yeah, and my brother. I have been looking for this photo for ages, I could remember it so clearly. Mum found it and scanned it, and emailed it yesterday. Note the double strands. I think maybe I was knitting another [...]

It has been a good week this week! I have not been at work . . . I guess that has a lot to do with the sort of week I have had.
First of all, I have almost completed an assignment for Uni – here is a picture of my Monkey socks on top of [...]

The quilters have this movie!
The cooks have this!
Even lawn bowlers get a look in!
Now we are going to get one!
(Edited to add, please don’t throw up when you read the article. This movie could go either way – let’s hope it celebrates the diversity and intelligence of knitters and not make us look like a [...]

A quick post tonight – I won a competition on Sue’s blog! I have often read her blog as she is next to mine on the ANZ blog ring, and I think I have commented once or twice, but it took a competition for me to de-lurk! And then, I was randomly selected and won [...]
hop to it!

Because she has been without camera for a while, Little Purl has gone a bit nuts with the photos this morning! For your viewing pleasure . . .
First up, we have a scarf that I made very quickly, using Patons Inca. It is very soft and lovely; I wanted a skinny scarf that I could wrap around [...]
