I'm Back

Well I am back after house and pet sitting for my daughter and family while they took a well deserved trip to Australia's Gold Coast, this coincided with the twins 13th birthday and much fun was had! The twins had a very hard start to life being born at 24 weeks, and weighing 710 grams, so its amazing seeing them grow up into lovely young people. I didn't have far to go just the next suburb and being close to Richmond Mall meant that I could walk there most days when it wasn't raining!! The animals were fine and Coco loved her little walk each day. On the knitting front have just finished another Featherweight Cardigan that is just blocking at present, it is quite bright one of the colours being a bright red!

I have finished my Criollo cardigan minus the buttons, love how this fits and lovely for Spring. I was lucky enough to win some yarn and stitchmarkers in a Rav KAL. The yarn was from Featherbrush Yarns and is lovely. Love the colours! The next exciting bit of news is I brought myself a new tablet, it is a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 just the right size for me and has a great camera on it which is why I bought it really. Well our weather has been great after all the rain we had, it was 22 deg yesterday but very very windy. Loving the Spring with all the lovely flowers out. I an sure I had more news but have forgotten I want to get back into dyeing some more wool, have just ordered some from Skeinz so will have to get winding by hand!!!! I would love a swift to make the job easier, Oh I did dye a gradient blank, dip dyeing a first for me not sure I like it will have to see how it knits up. (Show and tell, next time perhaps)
 Well have a great day wherever you are.
