Finally blocked my Ishbel. I love it, though it’s on the small size. Bun was very interested in the blocking process and loved the washing  and putting the pins in (even if I did have to ‘readjust’ them a bit!)

One of my fave patterns for kids as simple, roomy and warm.

There is a whole pile of finished projects waiting to be blocked and photographed. Plus I’ve finally started on my Dominika jacket – finished the back and so far so good. But this week priority goes to my girls in this last week before starting my new job. Enjoying glorious autumn sunshine, bike rides with a very excited little girl who has just learned to ‘go’s her bike, and enjoying an even smaller girl’s great sense of humour.

Also in the past weeks been doing a mammoth clear out – nearly been through everything now. This is as sorted as I get.

Bun very pleased to be back with her ‘family’: Isaac, Emily and Rosie. Molly came with us of course.

Wee kitty for baby e – finished in car on way to see her for first time!

Arran raglan sweater to protect wee Ev against those biting easterlies. Plain stockinette makes for rolling hens. Love this Debbie bliss pattern. So simple – a real first sweater tho.

This little 6 point hat started as a tam but then I completely made up the incs and decs and its much pointier than planned and I added on the brim. Result is great tho. Did I write down notes? Can I remember? Pffff! The tank top will look gorgeous with baby inside too!

What to do when in bed with tonsilitus? Knit baby booties why of course! This may be the end to the run on babies after all … Unless someone throws a curved ball. Perhaps that not the expression I was after but you know what I mean!

Bun won 3rd place in the school Eco fashion show! She had a lot of help making her newspaper kilt and race for life bag top of course … But I was still proud!

Bun was so pleased with her castle she wanted us to take photos. Good job too. After a few minutes suspicious quiet from wee sister we investigated …. To find a castle no more. Tears ensued to much “dorry dorry”. I wander whether we should insist on shared space or lose the ‘spare’ room ie my space …

Finally got k to pose … His new waistcoat in rowan felted tweed.
