My week in pics

It appears it has been a while since I've blogged, yes i think a week is a while, so i was thinking well what have i actually been doing, so naturally i went and looked through iphoto to see. 

So sunday was a quite one i sat and did a bit of knitting with my favourite girl 

I packed all my 'normal' clothes away ones i have no chance of getting into for a while

Rob got himself a new lawnmower, hes very chuffed

Then apparently i feel asleep for 2 hours, this happened the weekend before, turns out building a baby is tiring. 

I got on with some xmas knits. 

Then i thought i'd do some baking and rob thought he would bake too!

he is funny, he has a crazy sweet tooth, i bake cookies and buns thats it, he made some kind of business and used a template of a dog we had for years, so he was actually eating dog biscuits lol 

I collected all my broken acrylic needles and emailed P2TOG and they will happily take them back, i asked if i could upgrade to the cost of the metal ones, i only get these when i know i probably shouldnt be buying more needles but it just isnt worth it in anything less than a 5mm they just break. 

I turned 23 weeks 

I went to see a friend who has a gorgeous puppy. 

we went to pregnancy yoga, where i felt a bit stupid really. But was nice in a odd way. 

i marvelled at the lovely UK weather 

I swung by and saw V and V on our wednesday off

then went to the Depot to pick up a parcel,

the contents of said parcel from lovely Heather, lots of treats for me and baby. 

Then V and V popped round where Violet got a bit more mobile to investigate what the black fluffy blob in the corner was. 

Violet has a bunny but hes a old and a bit more erm willing shall we say, Olive just ran away lol 

Baby and the bump 

Me and Hubby had some yummy choco while we watched a film and i started a new hat. 

I made my nails purple and glittery 

Thursday i had milk and chocolate, i love milk and chocolate 

On saturday my godson Elijah came round with my friend Ol. 

He looks crazy grown up here, hes 3 in July which i cant hardly believe. 

It was due to rain so i asked on good old facebook where to go, so after a quick pub lunch we headed to Leeds Museum in Millennium Square .

Yeh so this fella was a bit blooming scary 

Elijah clung on tight, bless him 

he was spooky too 

this was fun lol 

And thats been my week. 

This week is set to be different as Rob starts a new job and our life gets slightly tipped upside down. 

Ive managed to sew some of my buttons on my other baby knits so if i can just figure out why the photos wont go in my iphoto then i will upload them. 

Thanks for visiting

Little people knits

Hi all so I have been meaning to post some of my recent baby knits, i took a ton of photos the other day but have since bought all the buttons that go on them and they will be way cuter so i am holding back on those and posting the ones that either dont have buttons or Ive already done the buttons. 

So this is Linnie This is a 4ply knit and newborn, its super cute, I went up a little on the needle size as my friend Laura made one and it was ickle so i went up a tiny bit to 3.25 but dont remember what it was suppose to be on lol. 

This was still in my neutral knit phase. Robs mum helped out but doing the stocking stitch body bit coz 4ply is hard work even when its tiny lol. 

I dug out some gorgeous buttons that i got from Woolfest last year, they are red with little yellow stars. 

Magic Coffee Bean hat  this is my go to baby hat, i have made this many times, apparently i have done it 4 times already this year, i have used lots of left over aran cotton, this was neutral stage again but looks quite girly now lol 

Cabled Teddy Hat I have wanted to make this pattern forever and its cute but man i hated making those ears they took ages and ages like urgh! But its cute. 

Cant beat Owlet which is obviously gorgeous, this starts at 6 mths so that will be like March type time ish, I obviously need more of these in different sizes coz they are cute as pie and its always nice to have matching mamma baby knits right? I plan on doing that where i can. 

This is a knit my MIL made, this is the 2nd size i believe, i had previously made the smallest.

Its Duffle coat but debbie bliss, the pattern is from a book but most librarys have it.

Seriously how hard is red to photography?

This is baby vertebrae a cute 4ply cardi with no front, so made for when baby is little and does a lot of lying on your chest. I finished this by the skin of my teeth yarn wise. I forgot this is still blocking upstairs. 

Did you like my background? I love our purple pebbles in the garden, it is my new place to take photos.

I managed to finish 3 things the other day which im chuffed with so naturally i cast 3 more things on yay. 

Right thats all for now, i need to sew to buttons on but man who likes doing that job?

A bank holiday

Hello all. So I thought id do a flying visit to share my little sunny bank holiday which we had this week.
I woke early as ever, rob was at work so I talked him into getting up and head to the park for a trip round the lake before he started work. It was super sunny like at 8am!
We swung by our bandstand where we got engaged. The park was busy even at 9am as the Dragon Boat race was on.



We showed bumpy our bandstand. I do look forward to bringing her here.


Bit of a bright pic but yay for being together even just for a hour.


We are super lucky to this like ten minutes from our house.


So we headed for a little walk round the lake and talked baby names. Geez now there is a decision and a half to make.


Pretty right.


Ahh


We did a couple shadow pics


Lol





So as rob headed off to work I sat myself in the garden with my parasol. I don't really like the sun as such so this was fun. And I sat and listened to podcast. Well one. Yarn on Tap. Someone recommended it to me so i have been working my way from 2011!
Then there was a shout at my gate ( I had my headphones in to drown out our ignorant neighbours)
Look how cute baby V is these days? Seriously 10mths old. Where did that time go?


This is her favourite thing to do
Toddle toddle toddle.


And a bit of flying



Wweeeeeee. Lol at those little legs!


V and V had a flying visit so i sat and knit and then had a visit from my neighbour Jess.

Yes I had my jeans on, it was too much effort to put sun tan lotion on my legs



Then hubby came home.


Oh and here are our tulips which finally appeared.



We even had our tea outside which was fun. Well excusing the stupid loud neighbours.

So there you go, not often we have a sunny bank holiday but this one was pretty cool. What did you get up to???
