DEATH BY SOCKS

Yes it has just about started again!!! I am signed up have both my assassin and target now I just have to wait for the pattern.

sigh....

soo much to do soo little time. Especially when sleep calls.

Geelongs Stitch N Bitch night is being held in my home this month. So any Geelong area people whom would like to come drop me a line and I will get you the details.

Date Wednesday 16th Jan
Place mine
Time 7pm to whenever.
bring a plate to share.

Now off to do eggs........................................Oh my ankle hurts, I couldn't possibly use my hands for anything but knitting.

Bugger no one believes me...

So much done and to do.

The sound of silence......................... I wish. New strange fact about me, I have weak ankles. Here is the relevance.

I was walking with Milly in my arms and my ankle rolled. I went down and didn't get her out of the way enough. End result baby with cast on.






That was before Christmas, just. So here she is Xmas day Firstly with her pressies, and later pulling herself around with her cast.

It was taken off on the 3rd, 2weeks and 5 days from it happening.

On the 1st, I did it again to my left ankle. But worse, not carrying bub (thank goodness) but I stepped down off the feed cart and over i went. 90kilos on a turned left ankle. I swear that was the most painful thing yet! Not broken, I allmost wish it was. sigh..........................

Milly is really crawling quite fast now and pulling up on things.

Made up Xmas swaps and will post them on monday. Late. Bad bad swapper. That is why the ankle happened, KARMA.

I just had my sheep shorn after the Melbourne cup. Here is the only white Xbred fleece that didn’t have a break in it. I just HAD to start spinning it. I used my old ashford traveller for a change.

Just skeined up. I spun it by flicking the tip and woollen spinning followed by navajo plying.

Same yarn now washed. Soo white and still with the lanolin in it. What to knit with it though….

Hmmmm.

Here is my girl eating her first gingernut. Isn’t she beautiful.

Following TAFTA

This is what has happened to one packet of top. I am thinking of plying it with a white single instead of navajo plying.

I am hoping that there will be enough for a EZ baby surprize jacket. But I doubt it.

Farm news. We had to throw out 4 days of eggs. I had the realization that I would NEVER get them processed and stay sane. So dumped they were. Very depressing. All that hard work for nothing.

On the otherhand, I am now up to date. Now I am working on getting the house back in order. Starting with the washing. David is sick and will be going to the dr's again tomorrow morning. I am hopeing that by being there at 8am as they start we will be in and out quickly. I hope.



Milly has started on adult food now. Just tastes of what I am eating and her cereal every evening. Only a desert spoon full so far but she does love her mashed spuds. Yes with butter and milk and LUMPS. No gagging or choking. Just lots of chewing.

I am knitting another pair of Sock Wars2 scar socks. These will be for the Bloke.

Off to make a bed (mine) then I hope to lay in it.

Weapon that killed me

lovely aren't they.

SOCK WARS2

I AM DEAD
