If anyone is looking for me

This is where I will be for the next few days WIP in hand gazing out breathing in fresh sea air. I am working with some corn yarn purchased during our stay in Australia making a baby blanket but I can't say I know exactly who it is for.

Melbourne (and Geelong) Mosaic

                                 
From Strickerin


With all the illness and drama we have had during and since our visit to Victora, I have not had the chance to sort through my photos. Here are a few images from our trip. Mostly things I see on every visit but never bothered to capture. I love the terrace house third from the top on the left. It is across the road from my FIL's place. A new sight was the tunnel entrances on the new highway out in the east also it was our first visit to the National Wool Museum in Geelong.

Our woolies are ready for some lovin'

We are off to Melbourne in the morning, with a little prayer to St Christopher or whoever the saint who looks after travellers is as we are flying QANTAS. I never thought I would see the day when I was feeling uneasy about stepping on to one of their planes....


Anyway, back to nice things, here are some of the woolies I have been working on over the last few weeks all packed up and ready to go. The scarves are made following a simple yet effective looking stitch pattern that I found at Yarn Harlot. Also piggle and a variation of calorimetry from knitty can be found among our goodies.


I was enjoying knitting up these scarves so much that I made this one for a friend. His was made with a thicker yarn and I think that the pattern really popped in his. Here it is all bundled up with the care instructions from the ball band attached to one of my Moo cards.
