a hit

thanks so much for all the comments re the baby cardi. despite the fact that all i can see are the errors, i must admit it did turn out kind of nice and the merino bambino is really lovely wool, i wouldnt mind a little cream cardi myself! it got handed over at the baby shower on saturday and everyone let out a big 'aaaah' when they saw it, and then they were really impressed when they realised id made it myself. i was surprised that people were surprised. non-knitters are weird.

i also gave mum-to-be the pair of socks i originally knitted for her ages ago, which she also really loved. its important to give things to the mum i think, not just to the baby.

so now i am starting the pants and beanie to match.

but first i made some progress on my berry stripey picot spider socks:



but this picture doesnt do the colours or the pattern justice, its the picot edge socks from blackdogknits so there is a row of eyelets that looks wonky right now but is going to have a cute velvet ribbon through it.

i love making socks, i just wish i were better at it.

and its a miserable old day here, rain and wind again, so im off to the gym and then to uni to do some admin. yawn.

hope you all had a great weekend, canberra girls please post pix of fibre day porn!
