Moreton Island

I had a great time at Moreton Island. It was nice to be able to relax and have some time to get out the DSLR and take some pics. I have uploaded a few of my favourites onto my RedBubble site.
I discovered that to date I have sold 60 items on RedBubble since I joined. 29 of the sales are for the first shirt I ever designed. But I have not put much on there in the way of photography, so I am going to concentrate on that side of things a bit more for a while.



Also, here's a pic of the purple fingerless mitts which I finished the day before we went away:

More knitting

I finished the vest for Sam, and he loves it. I think mostly because of the kombi on the front!


Here he is wearing just over his jumper as I was desperate to see if it was an okay fit as soon as it came off the needles!

I am extremely happy with it considering it is a first attempt at a knitting project.

Next, I attempted some simple fingerless mitts for Noah, by myself!
Here are the completed 'Golden Gloves'.


Dave asked for some in purple, so I set to knitting him a pair of 'Purple Power-mitts' right away. Will post pictures in my next blog.

Last Thursday my husband and I travelled to Moreton Island and stayed there until Saturday. It was quite beautiful despite the patches of rain, and I am really happy with some of the photographs I took while away. I also started a holiday beanie in grey and am knitting in the round using double pointed needles for the first time. I hope it will turn out! I will post photos from Moreton Island and of my holiday beanie in my next blog.

On Saturday we travelled back to Brisbane and I got to see Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens in concert. I was SO excited, having grown up listening to his music and being a HUGE fan. The concert exceeded all my expectations - it really was a fantastic night.



This video wasn't taken by me, but was taken at the same show (Brisbane). We had better seats ;)

So this week is back to reality, with the start of uni semester 2. Already I have dropped a unit, so am back to two units. I think that's all I can handle right now! It's going to be a busy semester!

Knitting!

Our veggies were great! That lot have finished now and tomatoes seem determined to sprout up everywhere in the garden, so we have just let them go. We have lots of tomatoes to use in our pasta sauces, that's for sure!!

I recently joined a knitting group in my area and no, knitting groups aren't just for ladies aged 70yrs+! Most of the ladies are my age. I am halfway through my first project - a Milo vest.



I am very happy with how it is coming along, considering it is my first attempt at knitting to a pattern.


I will keep you up to date with my progress. I am just hoping for a nice, wearable piece for Sam!
