Little Pickles

I have been quite busy making a couple of these little vests Pickles Plain Vest this is such a sweet pattern and its free in size 1. Using the Wisdom Poems silk wool it came out about NB to 3 months,  more 3 months I think. Its lovely to have a girly type vest as most are of the boy type. I  love these colours.The button I made are perfect for this.

Also this beauty arrived on my doorstep, the 3 rd installment of the VP summer sock club. A lovely lace pattern for socks, not my colour unfortunately, sure it will suit somebody! delicious fudge and a lovely wee notebook .It is always exciting receiving these packages each month, even more so for the winter ones when the days drag out.

I also finished Ps socks for his birthday which were very well received. Now to finish Dans for his birthday!
I also started a project that could go for some time, another one of my garter stitch blankets. I have previously made one but got bored with it, so made it smaller throw for chair, this one I am determined to make to fit double bed. I have cast on 300 stitches and do one colour a row leaving a long end for tassels every six rows. I have so much old stash yarn that is is lovely to see knitted up into something useful. This one will be blues purple pinks etc, I have enough wool for one in creams browns peach shades. This will keep me busy during winter.

I made some lovely semi sun dried tomatoes, sorry no picks ate them!! the recipe was very easy and was from this lovely blog that I follow Foxs Lanehttp://foxslane.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/how-to-make-your-own-semi-dried-tomatoes.html
Well its another glorious day here in sunny Nelson, so much enjoying our beautiful autumn days, hotter than summer!!!
Take care all and have a great day wherever you are .
