Still plugging away on the lacy baby cardi, however it is blocking as we speak :)

It's a damp day today, horrible for blocking, but I'm not complaining, because we desperately need the rain. I started the little matching hat.

Yes, it's inside out! The brim will turn up when it's done. After this I'll do the bootees, then I can start the little pink toddler cardi.
Here's the STYK/In The Bag Handknits booth from the craft fair on the weekend.

That's Janette at the register. She has started her own blog, which can be found here. Go say hello. :)

Twinkie is trying to kill me. I picked up the cord of my overlocker an hour or so ago, and got electrocuted. She had chewed a hole in it for me. I think it's because of this.

She has free rein of the house, except for under the beds. Of course, her favourite place is under the beds. I don't think she expected to get caught ;)

Totally your fault - an exposed cord must be chomped. It’s in the fluffy handbook. Binkie

Beautiful cardi. You are flying. I have some blocking to do today also...and the weather rots. We needed the rain too...but it is summer vacation here. Sun would be nice too. Hope you didn't get too big a shock.

Ouch! Glad you and bunny are okay! My husband is an electrician, but electricity scares me ... very dangerous stuff.

The baby cardi is beautiful, as is the hat. :)

Happy knitting!

I love your beautiful baby cardi. You have done such a lovely job on it. Where in NSW are you? We got some rain in Adelaide Yay and just when we were getting tired of it we now have beautiful mild weather.
I love your Twinkie, but hope you are ok after that shock

Our new kitty is chewing up all our cords. I have to be really careful with my circular knitting needles! I love the stocking cap. I have been toying with making that and I think you tipped the scales toward yes!
