This is one of the last pressies I have to make. This is for Chelsea, my god-daughter who is going to be 3 in January. This is one of her xmas presents. I am hoping to knit up something else for her birthday present but will need to think about what to knit for her. I only have 2 more presents to go, hats for my sister's partner and his 17 year old son. I am thinking of a Jarod Flood Turn A Square hat pattern which might be nice and easy to knit up, otherwise something cabled. I might need to have a look through ravelry tonight as I will have some free time. The house will be very quiet as Isabelle has gone for a sleep-over at her cousin's tonight. It is the first time she has slept there so I am hoping all goes well as I dont want to be driving in the dark and rain tonight to collect her. It has been wet and cold all day today. I am just happy that we are having a big roast chicken with vegies for dinner. Paul is in the kitchen cooking up the gravy now so I better get everything ready!

Enjoy the quiet time while your daughter is away, the first time they have a sleep over is both joyful and sad, Joyful because you know they are growing up, and a little sad cos you have to let go a little. Love the knitted dress, All the best on your last gifts to make, not much time left! Happy Knitting.
Lovely dress. I really admire your organisation & ability to finish all the knitted presents. Merry Christmas to you & family.
COngratulations on yet another beautiful finish... your family is extremely lucky to have such a wonderfuly gifted knitter amoungst them:)
I bought Acacia the other day after spying your finish and I cast on but then discovered before I could even get to row two that I needed a shorter circular needle...duh! Silly me didn't even realise that they came in different sizings until that point in time! So I have ordered some from the net and am hoping they arrive this week?
Anyway Sue - I will take this opportunity to wish you and your lovely family a very Merry Christmas and I look forward to following your knitting in 2011 and perhaps even meeting you one day as we have tentative plans for a Ballarat holiday in around the winter school hols :)
sweet knitted dress~~the children grow up so fast.
We are having roast Chicken for dinner tonight too :))))
I think Turn a Square is a great choice and you are incredibly thoughtful to make all the lovely knit gifts that you do!
PS I love your new banner picture.
just more proof that you really are a knitting machine Sue! a real machine! I'm envious how much knitting you get through!
