Since all the book projects have been completed and sent off for their modelling debut, I've been a busy hooker!
3 completed projects from Debbie's book.
2 One-Skein Scarves, one for me, (bet you can't guess which one from the photo!) the other one is a long over-due gift for my big sis, who's colour palette isn't quite as, well, colourful as mine, (hope she's not reading this!)
I love this pattern for it's simplicity - I've had a few complements already for my pink and orange scarf. Thanks to Johanna for the b-day pressie yarn - I've been wanting to work with it since December, but have been otherwise engaged.
Then there's a Fat Bottomed Bag which I made to carry my camera in for Lisa & Jeff's Wedding - no photo of the bag in action, but it went beautifully with my black mandarin dress - just take my word for it :o)
As I didn't get to keep my Violet Beauregard skirt, I'm making another one for ME!! I'm up to the start of the scallops, but need to pick up some more yarn, so it's on hold until I can search NY for it, or buy it online...
I also want to make a crochet dress to wear at Melissa and Robb's wedding in July - I'm thinking of adapting the Blissful pattern....
Here's the lovely engaged and expecting couple - how happy do they look? - and rightly so!
Knitting wise, not much going on. I need a new everyday bag, but don't have any definate plans as yet - might play around with some of my stash this weekend...
I'm also trying hard not to think about all the Maryland Sheep & Wool fun I'll be missing out on - If you're heading out there, have a fabulous time!!!!

Ey up! (God, I've not heard that in yonks)
Great to hear from a fellow knitting, orange-loving Brit in the city.
You look so pretty in your black dress! Glad you're working the yarn for fun again, and not for work only!
