Fixation anklets pattern here

Nice and quick to knit up. In 8ply wool I handdyed from Bendigo Woolen Mills.



These are still in progress. In 4ply hot socks from Lincraft. on 2.25 dpns. The pattern is a basic sock pattern which was on the band of a ball of yarn.

FEELIN' GROOVY

I love Enid Gilchrist magazines. I have a few now. I find them in op-shops and on Ebay. Some I paid way too much for! but just had to have. They are fabulous for quick easy clothing. Great for design inspirations. I love to see how the lines change over the many years her pattern books were published. They were published by New Idea here in Australia. I remember my mum making me a pinafore out of one in the late seventies.



I was restless again this morning. Feels like baby is late already but no, still 9 days until the due date! While flicking through my magazines I found the perfect project for that very groovy terry toweling I picked up at the op-shop a while back. So here's the result a toweling poncho.

When the original was published overlockers weren't in homes. I changed the sewing instructions to overlocking and was going to finish the neckline with elastic until I came across a lone drawstring in my stash of bits and pieces.

Fresh from the Garden this morning!

All this in one day! How we going to keep up! Zucchini for dinner tonight!

Sewing up a storm!!

Jungle T-shirt and shorts sets. And two pairs of Dolphin shorts no t's with these. These are for a wonderful lady who has swapped me a huge pile of nappies for the baby.



Two sets of shark shorts and t-shirts. A bit scary really! And the sheepy boxer shorts are for Liam.. he wants a shirt to match now! "Mum I need a shirt too!"



The teddy bear outfit a mixed matched. A case of not checking the amount of fabric befor you cut. The T is a size 2 but the shorts are only 00 because that was all I could get out of the fabric! Ooops, the fabric only cost me 50c from the op-shop :D The shorts are for Mr K.



Swing top and bloomers for Miss M, from Op-shop fabric. And the Little 00 set is also for the lady who swapped me some nappies for baby Michael.

Another marathon of sewing this week :)
