Knitting mumma: October 2009
http://knittingmumma.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 23, 2009. Still here still knitting! Wow what a busy month, I've started a new post a few times and even saved one somewhere but just didn't get time to edit and post it properly! I have just finished my first shawl, wow what fun they are to knit, I had no idea they were so easy really :) a bit tricky to start off, but once you get an idea of what you are doing, it all flows really smoothly. I had to frog a LOT at the start though before I "got" the idea :P Next shawl should be easier!

Knitting mumma: Dyeing with Kool-Aid!
http://knittingmumma.blogspot.com/2009/08/dyeing-with-kool-aid.html
Sunday, August 16, 2009. Strange stuff this Kool Aid- you drink it apparently, I'd hate to see the colour of your insides afterwards though. Lots of fun to dye with though, and it smells really good too, my microwave still smells like berries. This is my first effort with Kool-aid, grape, berry blue, lemonade, strawberry and orange flavours. August 18, 2009 at 7:55 PM. I cant believe that something that comes in colours like that and is strong enough to dye wool is safe to drink! Time for another project.

Knitting mumma: September 2009

Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Landscape adventures and dogs. Dogs and yarn don't mix- I've discovered this first hand! I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner but then I don't usually lay it out at nose level. I guess I can be grateful we don't have a cat LOL. So Rainbow Splash was born. Lesson learned here. hehe No more drying yarn in reach of DOGS! I'm enjoying playing with the landscape acid dyes. Will definitely skein some more soon and do some more dyeing. At the moment I'm working on my first shawl!

Knitting mumma: August 2009
http://knittingmumma.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. Time for another project. Have been rather busy this week and not able to get online as much. Lots of knitting which is great. I just finished this one and am very happy with it. I've finally conquered i-cord and duplicate stitch! Plus I adapted the lace pattern and managed to get it all to work. So all good. So now what do I knit next? A lot to be said for dyeing with safe food colours lol. I may do a KAL with a twirly skirt for bub next, that sounds like fun :). The next two ...

Knitting mumma: Happy New Knitting Year
http://knittingmumma.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-knitting-year.html
Friday, January 1, 2010. Happy New Knitting Year. And the new year brings a new FO! I finished this last night just as the fireworks began at midnight, so just scraped it into 2009! A Tropical Lily from the talented Georgie Hallam- free pattern available here. Knitted in Anchor Magicline Blue (1425) part of my stash haul from Spotlight a few months back! The bag of 10 cost me $10 and this took 3 balls, so it only cost $3 to make. Love it, and I have lots more cotton so will make more soon.
