Happy New Year!
Can't believe it's 2010 already :-o
Here are some of my FO's from last year that I haven't posted yet. There may be a few I've missed but there should be most of them here:
Firstly the blue pair I had in my previous entry
Scrappies
These were made using yarn I dyed myself and finished with pleated ruffle cuffs. Not the best likeness of the colours in the picture unfortuntely, the lighting wasn't very good when I took the photo
Boys scrappies
Parrot longies dyed by Hazel at Crafty n Clothy
Pussycat (another Babylonglegs colourway)
A colourway from 100purewool.com - gorgeous soft single ply merino
YYMK longies using yarn dyed by the customer
And last but not least, my favourite FO of 2009 :-)

It's nearly Christmas!
I've got one more pair of longies to finish and then my customs list is done until January. I've got a couple of things I want to knit over Christmas but it will be nice to have the pressure off.
As we're moving house next month (eek not long now!!) we had a man come round this afternoon to give us a quote for removals. There is something uncomfortable about having strangers wander round your house looking at things. I guess that's one of the reasons house moving is so stressful, your calm quiet home suddenly has people trampling through it, taking all your furniture outside to load onto a lorry and then trampling through your new house.
I'm looking forward to this all being over. The new house is quite a bit bigger than this one so there won't be the problem of trying to find places for things. The kitchen is bigger with a large workspace which will be very useful. There is a garden for the children to play in during the summer. There is a play park nearby for the children to use and a country park a short walk up the road :-)

Skirty Collab
Last post tonight, sorry for spamming!
This is a set that I'm really proud of. I dyed the yarn ages ago and it just wasn't quite right so I overdyed it a pinky-red colour and it blended beautifully.
The booties were made by Sam from Essence of Envy
The buttons are adoreable!
Ok that's it for tonight. I should have some more photos to update with in a couple of weeks. At the moment I'm in a B&B with 3 very over-excited children who are supposed to be going to bed but are instead bouncing around and squealing. We're all sleeping in the same room so I fear it will be a long night!
