Bad Blogger

I can't believe it is so long since I blogged! I am on the computer every day checking emails and looking at patterns on Ravelry. It's very bad not to have blogged about anything. Trying to get used to the fact that my life is ruled by a baby and that I can't do what I want when I want.

Like trying to find a time when I can participate in panel meetings for the quilting magazine. It's starting to wreck my head.

And Emily has discovered that she can scream so is constantly screaming at me for no reason. She is a little madam already!

In crafty news, I made a dress for Smem with left over wool. I ran out though and had to finish it with a dark pink trim. It turned out nice. The photoshoot was not so good, someone was not in the mood.


Here is a sneak preview of the present I made for Mam from Christmas. Will have lots of posting to do after Christmas with all the FOs.


Now I am knitting something for R and making a Fairy Godmother pattern. The Fairy Godmother is taking precendence. I have made her body so will have to take a picture and post it. So far, so good with her. I am pleased.

I will promise to be a better blogger.

100th Post - Piggywig (free pattern)

Image
I was going to post about how I connected with my domestic goddess and baked muffins this morning but as it is my 100th post I thought I would share a pattern with my readers. This is Piggywig. I only started him this afternoon so he is a super quick knit if you needed a present in a hurry. He's about 12cm tall. You'll need straight 2.75mm needles, a darning needle, some polyester stuffing and oddments of yarn in pink, blue, green, cream and black. Gauge is not too important - I knit at about 9sts:10rows:1 inch - just make sure that your knitting is nice and tight so the stuffing doesn't show through. Body Using pink, cast on 30 sts. Mark the centre of the cast on sts. P 1 row. Next row: Inc K-wise into every st - 60 sts. Beginning with a P row, st-st 7 rows. Next row: (K2, K2tog) to end - 45 sts. P 1 row. Break off pink and join on blue. Beginning with a K row, st-st 10 rows. Mark the centre of the last blue row. Break off blue and join on green and cream. Work 10 rows

*** This giveaway is now closed *** I read only last weekend about the May Giveaway Day on the SewMamaSew blog. Its such a cool idea so I decided to take part. Up for grabs are these two little cats. I made them as favours for Smem's birthday but made too many. Two winners will be chosen at random on June 1st and I am willing to ship internationally as they're only small and are very light.
