I have decided to start knitting.....yes, knitting!! I used to hate knitted things but I'm really growing to love them. I am starting with a really easy pattern for a nappy soaker for Miss Anna. Its just finding the time to start it!
I wanted to turn this.....
Into this....
Once I get this one done I'll knit a blue version (without the frill) for Master Zachary.
I'm still in nappy making mode although I haven't had time to get much done! Here is one that I'm nearly finished. I just have to put the snaps on and sew it up.
It is a pocket nappy. I have really grown to love pockets, I find them a lot more user friendly. I have a few AIO's & fitted's but I keep coming back to the pockets. They dry quicker, don't need covers, can be stuffed with almost anything and are really easy to sew!
A quick photo of the Santa Sacks that my mum made the kids. I really love them, and the kids thought they were great too!
Thats all for tonight I think, hopefully some more interesting news to share next time. Till than, take care.

Hi,
I'm Roseanne from Bairnsdale. I was directed to you by another Raveler from Lakes Entrance. You sound amazing - all those babies and still time for craft. Your love for your littlies (and not so little) shines through.
I can't wait to meet you. Will send you a pm with my tel nos in rav.
I am starting a group here on the 1st & 3rd saturdays starting 16/2/08. Any time after 11, bring a plate to share for lunch and stay till stumps!
I have been a sewer but have mainly decamped to spinning and knitting now.
I am specially interested inyour scrapbooking as i have just started one for my hand spun hand dyed yarns. Actually I started it last night after buying a couple of inexpensive packs from spotlight. I wanted something very simple and quick and yet attractive. Seems I have hit the jackpot with this as I am very pleased with the result and made about 6 in half an hour.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Roseanne, BAIRNSDALE
The frilly knitted soaker is sooo cute - I wish I could knit!
