24hr Bug.....

In the darkness of my bedroom DH clicks his mobile phone to capture these progress pictures of my latest knitting project......

My poor girls are bed-ridden (in my bed of-coarse) due to a '24hr bug/wog' that seems to be lingering for more like 48hrs..... sigh....

So amongst the spew-y towels and stink-y sheets I'm putting the finishing touches on this super cute extra slouchy hat that I started on Friday (pattern 'Norie' from 'The Shetland Trader' book)...
I'm using a gorgeous cotton/angora blend yarn that I'll tell you more about later....
But for now, I'm off to snuggle with my girls and pray that they sleep well through the night and wake with settled tummy's...

  8. So sorry to hear your children are sick Jodie. Little ones are like droopy wilted flowers when they are brought down with a bug. There is little sleep for mom anyways when her chicks are sick, so one might as well knit while she watches over them. You have got to be one fast knitter. Seems like there is always something new and pretty being created daily on your blog. I spend so much time checking out all your creative happenings and hardly find time to visit anyone else, LOL.

    Hope everyone is on the mend soon!

  10. Gorgeous work Jody, i hope your babies are feeling better soon. Take it slow...
    I have decided to make 'Green Girl' for my daughter. In your opinion would any 8ply be suitable. I 'can' knit but am reasonably novice although been knitting for years, and never really 'got' the whole matching the ply to the needle thing....(blush) actually i think its the US versus aus convert that confuses me sometimes. It seemed rather simple and i think i am going to go along with your changes too as it looks lovely.
    Thanks for all your inspiration...gotta love the blogging world and all the gorgeous bloggers. Thank you x

  19. I love the color of the tuck. I also love the shapes you have in it. If they are shapes? Are they shapes or little holes? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
