Just in case...

...you think that we're all about the natural material hand crafts, excellent children's literature and constantly taking advantage of every learning opportunity that presents itself...

Friday afternoon blob out in front of The Flintstones.

And what a feeeeeeling! Finally finished a LONG overdue swapsie. This is the Seija Hat from Debbie Stoller's The Happy Hooker in Noro Kureyon. I'm in love with the pretty colours.


This will find its way to your place next week, Missy Kate. Thanks to my lovely model, Miss H11.

More knitting

All my knitting lately feels very little and bitsy. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into a couple of grown-up projects this winter when I can source the right yarn for a reasonable price. (Who am I kidding...I'm ordering from a US yarn site this week...shhhhh...)

I'm really pleased with how this headband turned out for M8. I (nearly)6 will get one too. Can't resist putting the girls in a few matching items while they still like it too;-)

The baby hat is a practise run for a big girl's version for Sparkly Kate. It's part of the Seija Set in The Happy Hooker. Kate will be getting something more like this one.

The wool reminds me of a group of gorgeous, crafty, knitty, thinky, funny, lovely women I'm privileged to be a part of. We spent time in Auckland last year dyeing wool together. It's nice to be able to connect memories like that to something I produce with my hands.
