New Home

No pictures yet, but i just have to celebrate the news, My daughter and son in law have just bought their first home, Moving in in 35 days!!!
They have not been looking for long, but have thought for a long time on what they wanted, the house they have bought had been on the market for a year and the price had dropped into their price range. It is their dream place, lovely views.
They now have the job of packing what they want to take with them, what they want to sell, and have a garage sale and give to good will what is left over after that. I will post pictures when i have them.
I am so happy for them i could burst!!

I thought i would share with you some of my favourite books. These were bought for me many many years ago for Mothers Day and every year i get them out and make something. either for charity or for gifts.

Pram Blankets

What i am making now is Knitted pram blankets. This is knitted on the diagonal in garter stitch, (every row knit).

Both are done using 8 ply yarn.
