On our last Knit-y post, we wondered if Agnes would still have time to knit after the arrival. The answer is yes, 2 months after! The motivation was to fix a silly mistake. She had sent the pinwheel sweater that she knitted into the washing machine to wash with Jacynth's other clothes. Warm wash. Cold rinse. Perfect formula... for felting! Now that she has unraveled that one damaged sleeve, it's time to start knitting it back, well, when she can locate her 5.5mm needles!
Meanwhile, she knitted a bunny baby cap meant for a yet-to-be-born baby but ended up donating that to Nuffnang for the Queensland Flood Appeal Auction. She'll whip up another one though. It's easier and more fun now that we have a live model to try the hats on as she knits.
By the way, the nativity scene knits from two Christmases ago has been on top of our book shelf and is still not complete. Will the wise men ever carry any gifts and will there be any sheep?
Right now, she's off to finish another cap and an iphone cover that should have been done umpteen years ago! :)
