Knit, Purl etc.
Lots of little knitting has been happening here in the last week or two. Having to be in different places and doing a bit of waiting around lends itself to having an easy carry project like knitting. I have made several of these monkeys before from a Twins Knitting pattern. I have been playing with […]
Rainbow Cat.
I am still trying to develop my crocheting skills and find it great to have a project that is achievable. This cat is made from a very simple pattern and was very easy to follow. Very colourful – of course. Love the back view, too. Great little curly tail to go with it. This easy […]
A Very Sunny Christmas.
I have had a lovely break spending time away for Christmas with extended family. We hire out Edrom Lodge, near Eden in NSW, for the week over Christmas. The weather was perfect. This is one of the beautiful beach walks with a view looking back to the Lodge. The building is hiding in the trees […]
Christmas Panel.
This wall hanging is another little finish. I had done all the quilting on it several months ago, but when I went to bind it I couldn’t find the fabric I had set aside. I put the quilt away knowing that the fabric would turn up somewhere. Obviously it did. It turned out it was […]
Mostly Red.
A whole lot of red seems to be happening around here. And why not? It certainly brightens up a Winter’s day. I have been doing a little bit of knitting for our grandson and this sweater just happens to be red. It’s fun knitting for littlies as the item grows so quickly. We also […]

I am so pleased to see our supermarkets moving away from the drab shopping bags. This is the great design on one of the grocery bags I found recently. I hope we see a lot more branching out with their designs. The weather has been hot but I have had some knitting to do. The […]
Stripes and Stars.
Here are the stripes! This little zebra has recently found a new home with our grandson. He is made using a pattern called Savannah Chaps, by Barbara Prime, which also includes and elephant and a rhino. It was purchased through Ravellry. Very easy to make and good directions. I think there may have to be […]
All Sorts.
The nearby city of Melbourne is well known for its changeable weather. This Spring has certainly been one of extremes. Three days ago it was bitterly cold and snow was forecast for some of the mountain areas. Today has glorious sunshine, blue sky and a gentle breeze. No getting bored with the weather here. But […]
Keeping Warm.
It is a rarity to have snow in our area, but it still doesn’t stop thoughts about snowmen. There are so many lovely stitcheries around for Winter. When they are small and easy to finish like this one it is hard not to be tempted. This is a free pattern from Rustic Threads. I would […]
