Knitting Pretty

(Bridal Purse from a Gathering of Lace)


I've taken this new job. Even though it's 'beneath me' - as my kind sister so bluntly put and thus made me disappointed with myself, I get time to knit*. Which makes it the perfect job for me. If only the pay was better.

In case you think it's all bitch bitch bitch I'll let you in on a secret. I supressed a strong desire to write a post about a blog genre which was so nasty even I thought it might be below the belt. It was gold though.

To be fair, there have been some nice things happening:


I've been baking:


(crochet cupcakes here, knitted cherry pie here)




Gardening:




(crochet rosetters here)

Done the dishes:


(fleur de lys shadow knit dishcloth here)

Thank God It's Friday.


Would you like a cup of tea?



(tea cosy from Crochetroo - isn't it FAB!?)

Or join me in a glass of wine.



(One skein kureyon wine cozy - here - I modified mine a bit)

All of the above for the Wollongong Stitch n Bitch Exhibition.

You coming or what?



*I also get to ogle hot surfie guys, chat up lifeguards and ride on a quad bike - so it's not all bad! Oh, and someone brings me breakfast ON A TRAY!!!
