I’ve broken my own three project rule.
\nI cast on Gail (aka Nightsongs).
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI had this sudden realisation that Christmas is less than two months away. That normally wouldn’t bother me too much. I rarely knit for Christmas, and besides that, I can knit two garments in two months!
\nWell, I used to be able to. Since starting TAFE, I can’t even finish a pair of socks in a month. So I started to panic and cast on Gail for my Mum for Christmas. Natasha (my sister), if you’re reading along, keep your mouth shut! \ud83d\ude09
\nMum admired my Aeolian, particularly the colour, so I bought this Yarn Daze watercolours with her in mind. Now I just need to actually knit it!
\nSome more sewing managed recently – a Miss Buttons kit<\/a> that I purchased at Purls Palace<\/a> in Daylesford last year when Meaghan<\/a> and I went to Bendigo.
\nPoor Miss Buttons. I cut her out as soon as I got home from Bendigo in July 2008, and there she sat, waiting. And waiting. And.. well, you get the picture.
\nAnd it was just stupid, because she was ridiculously easy, and super cute!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAll the bits go together beautifully!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAdd some legs.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSew her up around the edges.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nTurn her out, ready for stuffing. Stuff her up a little, sew her closed, and ta-da!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nShe’s done! Easy-peasy. I can’t believe she sat there for over a year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
