Hurrah

Hurrah for Sara A who was the first to guess correctly!

Yes, its to be a Baby Surprise jacket, by EZ herself. 

The most confusing part of the pattern was when I got to the button holes, do I do the 5 buttonholes across both end sections and how do I do that, or do I do 5 on each side and how on earth would that work??

Sharon, who had done one recently, and I saw the cute evidence on Sunday- to come, couldnt work out what I was blabbing about, so a quick search on Ravelry cleared it up- the pattern is meant to be a unisex pattern, and EZ gives the options for both, so she gives the buttonholes on both sides, and the side you don’t need is covered up by the button anyway.

So that made sense to me, and I laid it out to have a look at how I was doing for the first time following that…and guess what?  It made sense!! It WORKED! I thought I was probably going to be the only one ever not to get it right, but I was wrong.

So I have about 2 rows left to work and I’m putting it aside for a couple of weeks until the Mum has her baby and we find out what sex it is, I want to cast off in another colour as I think it will be nice, and not sure yet what way I want to go…

Yep, its me, I’m back and oh whats new, Im in a rush!

Got the internet sorted last Wednesday, and have been flying about doing all sorts since then.

Its great, its fast, havent had a moment of a problem since, and best of all…its WORKING!

I have been on the net a few times since, doing email things, dipping in and out of Ravelry, dipping in and out of Etsy (and I notice that my Etsy widget has gone..again, must fix that soon) and starting the painful catch up of reading blogs ( oh my God, over 6000 posts to read….and thats an average…out of 204 feeds….think it may be time to cut some of them out of my bloglines…)

I have been knitting though, and doing other stuff, you know sewing, and D-Day stuff, so I’ll have to fill ye all in on that in the posts to come. Don’t worry, I’ll try not to bore you too much.

In the meantime, take a look at what I’m almost done with:

and the first person who tells me what it is (apart from the 4 Who Know from Sunday), will win….a big hurrah from me!

Til next time…..
