On 3 April 1981 I arrived in New Zealand, emigrating from England. On Saturday I celebrated the 40 year anniversary with friends that I made in September that year when I started work at the Health Department.
One of my friends, Colleen, had organised a beautiful cake for me. We had lunch at The Malt followed by yummy cake.
Isn't that cake beautiful?
On to knitting. I finished a hat. This is Incandescent from the Strands of Joy book.
My LYS, Loopine Wool co started a MAL for animal toys. I've never knitted a toy so decided to give it a try. I made Sadie Souris from Cinthia Designs.
The pattern comes with a wardrobe. I am making her a dress.
I thought of giving her as a gift, but the girl is only 2 years old and I'm thinking it won't get the love it needs. Really I just want Sadie for myself!. I've really enjoyed knitting her.
On to WIPS. No blanket or modular inlay this time, I havent touched them.
My Pirta Cardigan from Strands of Joy is coming along nicely. I've started the colourwork at the bottom.
My shawl has progressed a bit. I've just started the 3rd colour (out of 5)
Vanilla socks, I think I've done a little bit since last time.
And Bubbles down the drain is moving along.
On to Haul.
I've had a couple of purchases. I bought 52 weeks of socks and another Pompom magazine.
I visited Knitnstitch for some needles and cables, but of course didn't stop there.
I also bought Cocoknit opening stitch markers and ring stitch markers and 2 balls of Baby Bandit for toy knitting and Donegal 4 ply, probably for socks.
