Nettie's Knits: December 2011
http://nettiesknits.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Not just about knits. Friday, 23 December 2011. I'm on a short break from work, and I really, really want it to be the summer of skirts. It feels like hols, doesn't it, when you can wear skirts and sandals. Even though the weather man this morning told me it was currently 17 degrees, I resolutely stayed with the skirt. But put a jumper on. Sheesh. It's 3 days before xmas and summer hasn't come to town yet. See a movie a day - yesterday it was The Ides of March. Read - I've just finished. Series 1 on DVD.

Nettie's Knits: Some knitting has been done
http://nettiesknits.blogspot.com/2013/12/some-knitting-has-been-done.html
Not just about knits. Thursday, 26 December 2013. Some knitting has been done. I do love knitting small projects - socks and hat mostly - and while it's great to have small projects on the go through this hot summer, I did spend the cooler months knitting garments. Cardi for ma minette. Jumper for Mr Bear. Spot the poor colour change in the left sleeve? I'll fix that before he needs to wear it next winter. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nettie's Knits: January 2012
http://nettiesknits.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Not just about knits. Wednesday, 18 January 2012. A quick decision saw us heading to the coast, pre-dawn. We stopped briefly for a take-away coffee for me from the Braidwood bakery, then off down the mountain to Moruya for breakfast - we were their first customers for the day. We have a longstanding family connection to Broulee. It has been a few years since I've been there, but many more for my favourite sister. Paddling in the ocean. What could be better? Luckily for me, my favourite sister. And I had ...

Nettie's Knits: Another six months of socks
http://nettiesknits.blogspot.com/2013/12/another-six-months-of-socks.html
Not just about knits. Friday, 27 December 2013. Another six months of socks. You may recognise some of the socks in this post from this post. At least they're finished now. Ahem I didn't quite live up to my self-imposed challenge of knitting a pair of socks for each month of the year. The first half of the year went well, with even an extra three pairs done! So, although I slowed down in the second half, I still had a pretty good output overall, methinks. July socks - Nice ribbed socks. A Dress A Day.

Nettie's Knits: September 2012
http://nettiesknits.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Not just about knits. Wednesday, 19 September 2012. Paris - je t'adore. Du pain chocolat et cafe creme pour le petit dejeuner. Du vin rose any time of day. She gazed, bemused, at the noisy crowd around me and gave me a sense of peace again. It's been many, many years since we last met. I wandered, as royalty once did, through the gardens of. I worked and walked and laughed and ate and drank and wondered at the history and beauty of the place and its people. I shall return. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nettie's Knits: April 2012
http://nettiesknits.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Not just about knits. Saturday, 28 April 2012. A party with plaid pyjamas. I've joined Karen's pyjama party. With some plaid pyjamas that presented some interesting challenges. Apart from the fact that they give me the appearance of some real thunder thighs - so not flattering - luckily they are comfy). I started with my oft-sewn jammie pattern, for which I usually use nice soft vintage sheets. This time I found some lovely brushed cotton in the stash. Perfect. Ribbon for this very purpose). I loved ever...
