Quiet on the crafting front.

I wanted to be able to show you lots of pictures of prototype garments that I have been working on but I have been so busy that I haven't had much time to give attention to my work. What have I been working on? Well my sister is due a baby at the beginning of April and I am frantically trying to get her baby gifts worked up in time. Not easy when I have a baby of my own that demands my attention and a nearly 4 year old that wants attention whenever the baby naps! I digress... I have been working on the 10 stitch blanket by Frankie Brown, a designer that I love to support because she lives in the same town as me and yet I only know her via Ravelry! Frankie is an amazing designer and is a constant source of inspiration to me with her ingenious ideas. The lovely thing is that most of her patterns are free, all she asks is a donation to her chosen charity, Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. Aiden certainly seems to be approving of his cousin's blanket.

 

I have been working on other things for my nephew to be, but they remain a secret until he puts in an appearance. ;)

I have managed, in between nephew knitting, one lone Goshalosh bootie. The second one hasn't managed to make it to the hook yet. I was hoping to have a pair to show you but I want to keep you all up to date with what I am up to and the 2nd one may be months away. The picture is not brilliant because it is not part of a pair yet and I just took a quick one on my phone. This one is made from hand dyed merino aran weight superwash wool. 

I promise to get nice photos to you as soon as I have completed the pair. The 100% wool version will be priced at around £20. I am more than happy to take custom orders but please bare in mind I am not returning to work until June/July 2013.
