Had my first Children’s Book Week session today – Western Australian Author: Lilliana Stafford. Osborne Primary School year 4/5 and 6/7 visited and heard Lilliana’s presentation. I finished decorating the library and it doesn’t look too bad!


Well, I should get my name for the Halloween Exchange tonight or tomorrow… then I’ll have to make some decisions about what to stitch for them. I’ve done a stash dive and have a few designs that might work – but I will wait till I know who I’m stitching for before starting!

Dana has got a prototype fabric viewer for some Chatelaine Designs (including Medieval Town Mandala – current hot pick for weight loss goal treat)I’ve just spent a happy half hour playing with it… such fun!

Guess who collected more sock yarn during her lunch break today? (Yes,me - no surprise really). This is a mighty fine stashing of Must Stash from a rainbow update she did last month. We have some courage (so needed around then), an exploding rainbow and the sock set for Paper Daisy’s Lots of socks pattern. Just delicious.
The lights have turned on - time to consider a glass of wine... 🍷
Out for a catch-up with my dear friends (this is a “Cubano way” or, according to the waitress - a classy daiquiri 😉) #cocktails🍹
Sock number one is done! 💃🏻🎶🧦 Pattern: Lots of socks / Paper Daisy designs. Yarn Must Stash: Martian Rainbow (glitz) with Plucky Knitter’s Highline (feet). I knit this in 8 days (something of a record for me) #lotsofsockskal
New stash. This is “Clueless” by Lollipop Yarn. #ravelry
New stash! #muststashyarn just arrived down under. Raspberry ripple (full skein) sweet nothings in the “halfsy” yummy valentines socks for me soooonish.
So, I cast these on yesterday afternoon and I’m almost done with the leg on sock 1. They are practically knitting themselves! 😍I think it’s self explanatory that it’s the combo of fabulous yarn and pattern. Give it up for #muststashyarn (Martian rainbow 🌈 on glitz), The Plucky knitter (Highline 🗽on feet - the solid colour) and Lisa K Ross (Pattern: Lots of socks 🧦🧦🧦) #sockknittersofinstagram #lotsofsocks
These socks are for Dr K - they were supposed to be his Christmas gift but my Advent knitting project was all consuming. He’s delighted with them (I have to admit I want a pair too!) Plucky feet in Highlander and Highline. Pattern: Rib is the new vanilla by Vanessa Fletcher (Designs by Anneh). #dailyplucky #sockknittersofinstagram
Yarn delivery! Some beautiful Plucky Knitter Solo DK (Aunt Bootsie). Yum. 💃🏻🎶🧶🎵
