Bang Soo and Fur

What's a day trip to Cabramatta without the fur (pho) and Bang Soo (banh xeo)? I really wish I hadn't have left the camera in the boot because lunch was spectacular! And delicious.

So, how did I go in the colour matching department?



Not too bad I think ...

This fabric is going to be one of Amy Butler's pillows ....






Donna recently wrote a post about one of her stash yarns speaking to her - but she was trying to ignore it. After she swatched it a little she wasn't thrilled so she offerred it to me.

I've been crocherating* with it - the twisting is easier to hide amidst crochet.



There are other WIP's as well -

This was inspired from the ubiquitous Hemlock Ring Blanket - except mine is more special (to me anyway) because it's a NEIBLING darling.


(it'll look better when it's finished)


And I've recently been given (NOT GIFTED!! Oh how I HATE that word being used as a verb) a hand-me-down from my sister. A new knitting bag!

(apparently it's a scrapbooking tote - but we won't tell anyone)

What's inside?

A sock! Snicket sock - my first (and possibly only) summer of socks project. This is the THIRD iteration of the sock - I was trying to avoid using the 2mm needles - but no dice.
