Some knitting too

It is a little improvised baby blanked, knitted in a round. I've used crochet hook cast on and kept increasing on four points to make a square. I used a simple generic lace pattern and then seed stitch edging.

The yarn is Hedgehog fibres sock yarn, two colours of last instalment of the sock club - Mozambique and Sand storm. I held the yarn double and created a gradient from one colour to another.


The blanket is over a meter square .

Current knitting is a jumper for me. I've had the yarn for ages, it is a brushed cashmere/silk and it is just beautiful, and soft. I can't think of a name right now.

It is a lovely mouse gray colour. I started knitting the sleeves first and I have one and a half a sleeve done and I still haven't finished the first 25g ball. It's looking like it's going to be 75g jumper!
Lola is my little helper, she likes cashmere!

hello again

It has been a buse few weeks. We have moved to a new house, we've had friends over for a week, we've gotten hens. The new house is fab, I now have a studio space for my work and also more convenient storage room (I don't have to walk upstairs anymore, yay!).
The hens started laying tiny eggs about a week ago, but I hope they will get bigger as the hens get a bit older.


Lola is having a blast with them, altough at first she was scared to death. They are in fact as big as she is!

They have names too - Noodle, Trousers and Turbina. They are not scared, can be picked up and petted too. Our friends kids just love them.

Chickens are much less work than I expected! They just need water some food and once in a while a little walk around the garden. And they lay eggs. Awesome :)
