Another yarn related post!

There is just something about pregnancy that makes me need to knit. And dye. A lot. Whether anyone in the house needs knitted clothes or not.

Purple variegated yarn cooking next to roasted squash fajita filling, because if I'm going to be standing at the oven poking stuff anyway...And drying in the garden with a towel wash. Getting yarn dry is one way to make me put washing out!

Pinwheel baby blanket on the go.
Booties with icord using the last of Sarah's multi-coloured hand dye.
I have conquered sock knitting! I dislike DPNs (because the children pull the out, or they fall out in my handbag!) so used the opportunity to figure out magic loop...oh, it is wonderful!
Two pairs of shorties for Miranda knitting with my last batch of multicoloured hand dye.

Currently on the needles...more baby socks, a hat for Leni from that purple hand dye and the baby blanket.

All lovely but I do love those little socks!
I'm a big fan of magic loop, once I'd learnt it I loved it, could never stand dpn's either.

The dyeing is rather addictive isn't it?!

Lovely knits! I am so slow at the moment. Need to perfect the art of knitting whilst Reading to the children I think. You are so productive! :)
