It seems I have fallen off the blogging wagon, I’ve only been knitting my Pressed Flowers pullover and it’s taken f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I do love it though, but mosaic knitting takes twice the time it seems.

Can you believe we’re nearly half-way through the year?

We had a belated birthday (for me) and a combined birthday celebration (a niece and a sister) with my family a few weeks ago. I was gifted this Amigurumi sheep by my sweet niece who’s 12! I was completely blown away by her talent for such a young age. It took her 2 weeks to make, and it’s perfect. I’m in love.

Last weekend, I was stuck on sleeve island for my Pressed Flowers pullover, and I needed to do something other than knit the sleeve for a day but without starting something new… so I did some spinning. I have 200 grams of this beautiful merino fibre from Cat & Sparrow, which I picked up at the Sheep Show last year.

Finally this past Friday night, my Pressed Flowers pullover was cast-off and ends were sewn in. Now to block and take some photos, yay! Next time, I promise.

On Saturday I attended the annual Handknitters market in Coburg and had a wonderful time. It feels like a very long time since I’ve indulged in a yarny event and I might have bought more than I intended. All sock yarn, so that doesn’t count now does it?
