Saturday

Today we watched our sweet little chickens as they sand bathed in the sand, oh how they enjoyed this! It really was the cutest thing to watch, sand flying everywhere, how wonderful they are, I couldn't imagine our life without these special creatures...

Knitting Jen's cardi by the fireside...

Thought I would show you the colourway, I just love it! All natural all organic... I am ready to knit the back and the front sides now. I am happy to share the pattern instructions in a blog post soon if anyone is interested.

A new really large mug just for me...

There is a new one of a kind unicorn in the shop:)

Have a wonderful weekend xo

Knitting...

These are my two knitting projects at the moment, my Shalom cardi and Jenna's birthday cardigan. I love the tradition we have started regarding knitting a garment for a birthday in our family, it feels so special... Here is Erin's cardigan I knitted in April this year. I am so enjoying knitting my Shalom, I have cast off for the arms and I am knitting down the length of the body. I think this will go fairly quickly, I worked out all the decreasing with my new stitch modifications for the armholes and it all worked out just fine. I also tried it on today and it fits perfectly!! I am so excited to wear it.

There is still time to join in the Shalom KAL if you are keen, people are joining up all the time:) Yay!

Jenna's birthday cardigan is coming along nicely, I started knitting it on Friday and I am almost up to the sleeves:) I have until next Thursday to finish, I really love this organic handspun merino. I have ordered more so I can knit a cardi for Richard and Kye has also asked me to knit him one too:)

I think once I have finished these two cardigans, I am going to give the Hourglass Sweater a try from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, I am thinking a lovely burnt orange colour would knit up well:) Maby this could also be a KAL?

What are you busy knitting at the moment? Thanks so much for visiting my space:)
