I couldn't resist putting some photos of my little Ella on the blog.
I know I'm biased but I think she is rather yummy.








Here's one of the new grandma.




And now some knitting photos.
The blanket is one I have done for all the new babies in the family. Each one has had a different ribbon trim. It looks great in every colour,(I have made it in navy blue, yellow, red and white)














The pale pink cardi is done in four ply snugly. I love the classic pattern and have to admit I could probably make it with my eyes shut as I must have made it a hundred times. The great thing is it's really easy to make and can be worn with anything(provided the colour matches)!

The last photo is a deep pink cotton from Sirdar. I think it's Rio. I bought it at a very good price when my local yarn shop closed down. The colour is a bit more like rose(the colour hasn't come out as well as I would have liked on the computer) The pattern is Felicite from the Patons Fairies booklet. Now I am working on two slightly larger items, another felicite cardi and a jumper from the Jaeger book I bought at the lys closing down sale. I also have to admit to a bit of baby wool stash enhancement. I went to Maidstone to visit Father in Law last week, and found a branch of Hobbycraft. I have never been inside before and spent nearly an hour wandering round buying some reduced price Patons fairytale 4ply in a few different colours!and buttons and fluffy stuff(I can't remember which one at the moment). I could have spent lots on fabrics, wools, craft stuff etc. I had to hold myself back. Off to work now to earn an honest crust!
