Knitting...

I have to confess, knitting depresses me at the moment. Or rather lack of knitting. I quite literally snatch a few minutes when Oliver has fallen asleep whilst feeding and even then it has to be with him on the right (well, left!) side and with my WIP nearby...and I generally forfeit the short "me" time for working on my phone/laptop <sigh>

With 3 projects on the go I was determined not to start another but I'm easily swayed, especially by all the gorgeous pictures of friends taking part in the Crafts from the Cwtch knitalong. The pattern, Color Affection by Veera Välimäki called for three co-ordinating yarns so a raid of the stash came up with these:

From left to right: Fyberspates Unicorn, Knit Picks Bare (which has been a tangled mess for nearly two years!) and Noro Silk Garden Lite, which is left over from a wedding shrug I made a couple of years a go.

The pattern is easily memorised, so ideal for knitting whilst feeding although I imagine it'll be next June before I actually manage to finish it (or even untangle that skein of yarn!)

Slings...

It's been a while since I've had time to update so here goes for a mammoth amounts of posts!

I've generally always been a Didy girl with the odd Girasol, Hopp and Lana thrown in when it comes to my wrap stash. Just before Oliver was born I snagged an Oscha JK Coll Ooki off FSOT and despite it being a size smaller than I prefer I was hooked! Once the Natural Mama Oscha's started arriving and I saw one in the flesh I knew I needed one and sure enough, once our shortie arrived it was love at first site.

I was then lucky enough to be online as the new Oscha's were uploaded to the shop and was incredibly naughty (been a long time since I brought a new release!) But it was so worth it as we are amazingly in love with our new Oscha Roses Scarista <3

Too many WIP's...

...and no where near enough time to knit (or blog, for that matter although I have every intention of getting back on that wagon!)

On the needles at the moment I have:
a Versa for Rachael in James C Brett Marble Chunky (MC29)
an Ashton Shawlette in Kauni (EY)
and a barely started Spectra in Araucania Ranco which I acid dyed black, along with some Tropical Fish Zauberball.

The Versa is the farthest along and has been on the go the longest so I'm going to try to attempt to finish it first, despite it being totally unseasonal now!

There really are six now

Oliver Lucas arrived at 6.20am on 29th March 2012, born unassisted after a 35 minute labour, weighing a squishy 10lb 11.5oz.
