Time Flies

Well the school fair came & went. 

I still haven't taken pictures of all the other things I made.  Tea-towel bags again.  All the other pom pom critters. 

It was a soggy wet day though.  We still had a great day with a great atmosphere all around. 

All my pom pom rabbits went to new homes.  That was awesome to see. 

Did manage to get another of these bulky yarn hats knitted too the other week.  That will do for now, until work sells some.  Guess that it won't be until it's really cold though. 

Productive Day

The Rabbits are done!  I have an interesting breed in my garden.  Not angora or anything fancy like that.  I breed acrylic ones!  lol  

They have been a work in progress all week as I do pompoms of a night.  But today I just wanted them finished & out of the way.  

Another quick beanie too.  

Fat Yarn, Fast Yarn

So at work next we are having a beanie promotion.  These will even be for sale!  Winter will be here before we know it!  These were super fast knits.  But I hate knitting with such fat yarn.  

Birthday Girl

My girl Juneau is 12 today.

My shadow.  My furry kid, first born.

Or second born as there was Kayla the Elkhound before her.

New Things

A new cast-on for me.  It's not socks!  A new pattern that just came out on Ravelry & some very special yarn that I had stashed for just such a time as now.

Suddenly I needed something other than socks.  It's been a long slog of sock knitting to get enough for the window  display at work.

(It's been a success though, my washing line of socks.  A lot of interest created, & I could have sold them 10 times over I reckon.  Presuming everyone has the same size foot as Stuart or I that is!  Many asked if I had more sizes somewhere or children's socks somewhere to pick from too.  But nope, not for sale.  Having said that though I did sell one pair.  The lady was looking for things to send her soldier son.  He is currently serving in Afghanistan.  So, I have a pair of socks I knitted on the way to Afghanistan.  How cool is that then?)  

Pompom Production

March is that time of year when we have the upcoming school fair.  It's a big fair.  Huge!  Well known for a good day out.

We have been repurposing some yarn into pompoms.  It was a real family affair.  Even Stuart made a couple.

The boys & I spent some time making our assortment of colourful balls into Pomp-kins.  Hopefully a fun thing that the children at the fair can spend their change.  We have 51.  We'll see how they go...

Rabbit production is also on the way.  It is of course Easter soon so hopefully they are popular too.
