Head Wrecked!

My head has been absolutely melted this week. I got confirmed to sell patterns on ePatternsCentral so that involved lots of paperwork. I'm still working on my submission for PetitePurls. Waiting for some nice weather so that I can take photos and then I can send that off.
It will be nice when I have both those ticked off my to-do list.

In the wedding headache section, the flowers I thought were sorted. There is someone else getting married in the church the day after me and we agreed to share the flowers and thereby cut the cost. She seemed keen to get someone she knew to do the flowers so I though it was sorted. Until I got a text late last night!

So today I was looking at silk flowers that are available for rent (and were horrible) and pricing flowers online. Now I'm going to do the flowers myself. I needed a decision to be made as I have too much going on in my head at the moment.

It will hopefully work out okay!

So to finish on happy notes:

Here is Smem out in the rain wearing her wellies and raincoat. These wellies were in the boys section in the shop but were the only ones she has ever let me put on her feet!

And a picture of Smem looking at the horse at Farmleigh, in the Phoenix Park in Dublin.

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
