Knitting- who knew!

Many months have passed, and I have been one busy beaver!  I started work again, leaving little time for craft- except at nights. So, have found myself knitting in front of the telly.  I have not kept a record of how many squares I have knitted- but it is lots.  At the moment, I am working on a port power blanket.  I have so much left over wool from making Megan's blanket!


This pile is probably one third of what I have made!  A friend has lent me the entire series of McCleod's Daughters, so I am finding it easy to sit, watch, and knit!

What's next?  I have some crosstitch waiting to be done- although that takes much more concentration.  I am hoping to buy fabric to make Megan a patchwork quilt for her birthday (Rachael got hers at 4- Megan will be 5!)- that will take my attention for approximately 3 months!  Then.....  stay tuned!

Funny story... I was knitting the red, blue and yellow ones, and Megan walked past and said, "that's not for us is it?".  "NO!" I replied. "oh, good- we don't like the Crows."  "Why's that?" I inquired!  "They cheat, and their boss is not even allowed to go watch the footy, he has to stay home and watch it at home!"  So much knowledge from a 4 year old.  Apparently they also cheat because the run up to the Port players and say "Boo" and we drop the ball!  (If only that didn't hold a little truth!)

'Til next time...
