Are we there yet?
I’ve not been posting too much of late and it’s not because I’ve nothing to talk about, it’s mainly cos I’ve been so busy. I seem to have an awful lot of irons in the fire. On the knitting front, there’s Christian’s scarf which has lain dormant since Christmas and which I really should get [...]
I’m currently working on a little dress for bump. It’s a cross over front with contrast band (oh my, the contrast!) and with either short or long sleeves (haven’t decided which yet).

I’ve used a different cable pattern to the original – I wanted more defined cables. It’s going to be amazingly warm and Christian loves the colour [...]
Here’s a Splash of Mink blocking away. All the knitting is finished at last and once she’s dry I can start the sewing up. Must say, I really do think I should get some blocking wires… And a close up – no lifelines used during the making of this, no counting mistakes that I’m [...]
