...all this and more.

She's finally done......Na Craga!



















Pattern: from Alice Starmore's Aran Knitting
Yarn: Luxury Alpaca Silk 15-50g balls
Needles: 4.5mm











I love the details. Saddle shoulders. This yarn is very soft and has a lovely drape. And I loved the way it blocked. I've also started some fingerless gloves in the same yarn but in pink. A much lovelier colour than this one.







Very simple cables. 4 and 8 row repeats. I would say even someone new to cables could accomplish this one.




















On Sunday to celebrate we went antiquing, and I found a better basket to hold my Lorna's Laces. $5, can't beat that, and some old sock blockers. I just need to give them a light sanding and clear coat and they'll be ready for the next pair of socks.














Now back to MS3, I'm part way through clue #3, but I had a peak at Rhonda's blog and saw that she has already finished clue #3. I'll post pictures when I get that far.

Not another one.............

Just what this girl needed............a little sheep butt!
















A present from my lovely daughter (who has no self-control).

I'm on the last sleeve of Na Craga, and started blocking the body.
I did have a little time to order some new books from Amazon, though!
















Mr D. had to put in a second book shelf for me. The first one was getting a little full and a couple of the shelves were starting to sag.




















Then there's still the unfinished projects... Miss "P's" nightie.
















My much needed quilt.
















Then I got talked into ordering the yarn for Kauni by Kristin and Renee.

So onward and upward... it is only Wednesday afterall.
