Time to get busy...

I recently dyed some small amounts of fleece which are now on the website. There is a little VM in them but easily flicked, picked or carded out. I will be dyeing more soon, and these I will card separately.
I recently have been knitting a cardigan on the machine and finally finished it. I was sewing it up and was checking how it looked when lo and behold I noticed the cuffs on the sleeves did not look even. How I missed that I do not know. So will not be able to sell this, but I get a new cardigan for myself which is not a bad thing. So, off to the machine to do a new one. At least I am getting the practice.
I have some skeins of yarn that also need to be added to website. Photos taken so need to be added soon.
As I said time to get busy.
Babysitting this weekend so that will slow me down, will have to get things prepared.

It's Christmas...

Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Christmas. Thank you for visiting my blog and website over the is last year. I hope you continue to visit.
Here in Victoria, Australia the temperatures are rising and we will will be having a traditional hot lunch tomorrow. The important thing is it will be with family. There will be about 25 of us including little ones, and that is not all of them as other family members had to make other plans for their own families.
I will miss my middle daughter Rebecca this year, who is unable to come home from Port Moresby for Christmas. Last contact was she is still working so hope she has a good day tomorrow.


 Here are some dyed grey fleeces in 100gm lots that I will be putting on the website. They have a little bit of VM but should flick out.
 This a grey cardigan I have been working on the knitting machine, it has eyelets around the raglan sleeves and lace patterning up to the armhole edge on the cardigan fronts. It is hip length and will fit 40 inch chest (X large). The neckband and front bands still to be completed. This will be up for sale as well. The wool was processed for the North East Yarns and is a fine 3ply (fingering or laceweight?) Natural colour grey.
