Well, I haven't written anything on the blog for about a month! The start of the school year has knocked me for six, and it has taken me a few weeks to find a rhythm in my daily life now that Sophia is in full-time school! I have, of course, been knitting, and have turned my thoughts to Christmas gifts - most of my projects will be coming from Noro Designer Mini Knits Two by Jenny Watson. I'm currently knitting some gorgeous fingerless gloves - a very quick knit and as it is knitted in Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn, the self striping nature of the yarn keeps me amused!The picture above reflects one of my new found interests (or obsessions, as my husband would say!) - I have joined a quilting group! It is something I've wanted to experiment with for some time, but didn't want the commitment of a college course or evening class. I've found a lovely group of very talented ladies who meet on a Friday morning in an informal, pay-as-you-go setting, which is perfect for me. The fat quarters in the picture are all fabrics by the amazing designer Amy Butler which I shall be using to make her Pink Bliss Quilt. I've a long way to go though, as I haven't cut out all my pieces yet - I just like looking at the fabric!!
