Finally the Knitting! Using another irresistible Gobsmacked duet, this time for some magic vanishing stripes. Hard to catch on the ipad camera - need a good flight of stairs to really show how the stripes vanish/change direction as the viewing angle changes.

Work time has been scarce for the last few months, so most of this has been knit in the car to and from the hardware store, and now it’s on the evening trips to the beach to cool off once the sun loses some of its bite. Or to ward off tension over bushfires.

This will be about a knitting project eventually.

Used 385 of orange/brown, 370 of green.

Pod timeline, from photos, because I can’t remember anything anymore. Trying to get this finished before the school hols start in the name of sibling harmony/household sanity, so each boy can have his own room, and J can finally sit down again. The back bit will be a workspace for me, as #3 boy has requested I move my desk (2nd to last pic) out of his bedroom now that he’s 6.

Bunny Nov 10, laying the kitten debate to rest at long last. Smoky, Cloud, Pearl, Willow, Silky, Compromise, Griselda, Folly, Opal? She answers best to Kitty. :)

Gaffa tape shows how I get work done.

And rentadog so he doesn’t feel left out. :)
