Good morning. An early post today. Paul took Isabelle to kinder this morning, and then he is off to the doctor's since he has been unwell for a few days. I am taking Isabelle to her second birthday party this afternoon at McDonald's again. At least she will be tired out early. She fell asleep at 7:00 last night after being worn out from kinder.
Anyway I had better get to the knitting content since that is why your reading this isn't it. I have been still knitting on Paul's soccer jumper, (and yes Australia won their first match), and no I did not watch it, but saw it on highlights throughout the day when I passed the television set. If I get time to do any today then I should be able to get up to the neck decreases, I only have about 20 rows to do till then. I have only been knitting it during the day as it is a bit dark at night, and yes I do look at my knitting even though it is stocking stitch. I watch tv whilst I am knitting, but I like to make sure I haven't dropped any stitches.
So I started another project to do at nighttime. This is the argyle vest from the Baby Cashmerino 2 book, which I love to knit items from. I am doing the 2nd size. I am using Heirloom Pixie 4 ply in a bright blue, which is quite nice. So far this is the back. I knitted this in one day, which wasn't very long. I am halfway up the front now, and have nearly finished the argyle on the front. I will be glad to finish that part, since I do not like doing it. I have not even used 1 ball of the blue yet, so I might be able to finish the back and front with just 1 ball. It goes a long way and the yarn is so soft.
I have also been buying more yarn, and yes I know I said I wouldn't but the Wool Shack had a sale on Zara which I could not pass up. Here are 2 of the colors that I have bought, and there is a dark purple and a green which I did not take pictures of. I love this yarn, especially for kids. It only cost $4.90 a ball, and here in Australia you usually pay around $8.90 a ball, so I think that is a great bargain. I also have my 2 books coming soon and I have just ordered Vintage Style and a Charlie and Lola book for Isabelle. Her birthday is in August, so I thought I might put a few small things together for her birthday. Well I am going to do some ironing whilst I have some free time, and hopefully make a dent in the pile before I go out. Bye for now.
Light Pink and Denim Blue colorways.
