Vitamin D Top-Up

We're packed up for a trip to catch some sun, 3 weeks in Florida, all of us plus my parents, villa with pool booked, theme park passes paid for,a surprise trip for my Elvis mad Mum to Gracelands and books,knitting ( some thinks never change ) for me, think that covers us all.

Is it ungrateful to feel alittle sad to be leaving behind the beauty of Autumn ? my favourite season after all, although this morning it's so cold, damp and grey, it's not so hard to wave goodbye, goodness knows how I'm going to cope being away from my girls though ! and the dog is going to kennels, which means she'll sulk and be cross with us when we return til atleast Yule.

Fingers crossed I have prepared afew posts to appear, as if by magic for the first week of my holidays and then hope to be able to check in with some reports from the beach, the swimming pool, those lovely local yarn shops and more.

Thanks to all of you who leave such lovely comments here, I am so very lucky to be part of this amazing community.

Be Well

Hand Warmers for Woodland Friends

These hand warmers are great and knit up so quickly, wonderful for beginners with no increase or decrease, just cast on, knit, purl and cast off, sewing up the side and leaving a gap for a little thumb to poke through.

Have a guess where the pattern came from ! http://www.ravelry.com/projects/nocton4/easy-kids-hand-warmers

The first finished pair are for keeping a friends hands warm now, her Mama blogs here

Then I have plans for around 15 more pairs, enough to warm every little hand at O's woodland group, yule gifts for play friends.

4 down, many more to go !

Sunday Bath Time

Goodbye herbs, Hello clean chickens !

Heavenly Host

A gathering of Angels, ready to be sent with love, on their way as part of the Bits of Goodness Stocking Swap.

Pattern from Ravelry ( as always, what a great resource, have you joined yet ? ) http://www.ravelry.com/projects/nocton4/tiny-angel-dollI used bigger needles, than pattern states, to create a larger angel.

Angel chatter, the sweetest sound.

Wonderful wings to fly to their new homes.

With the funkest of hairstyles.
