Clickity-click

By Anonymous -

Last night I was kept company at Craftstock market by the lovely Millie of Pink Paper Pinafore (hi Millie :-) ). She was very serene as she knitted away on a great piece for the Cuba Street Carnival. Its going to used for some outdoor tagging - organised by the outdoorknit crew.



So I got inspired to dig out my needles again - allthough Im not talking about extreme knitting here - nothing like this amazing piece:

Work by Carol Hummel


but just a little old scarf will do - and I like the sound of this one called the "Easy Mistake Stitch Scarf" which I found over at purlbee - Im hoping that a steady rhythm will get me into that clickity-clack mode and I can do it without looking- (well - one can always hope)

Hey Shelley, I'm so glad to see my colourful carnival contribution inspired you to pick up the needles. Was lovely to meet you too. Millie x

Well I'm sitting here with cold toes under the desk and your wee post has inspired me that i should start knitting too. I'm such a slow knitter that if I start now hopefully I'll have something by winter!

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
