How my garden grows.
.
Spent a few hours out in the garden today - such a gorgeous day too.
.
Planted some more veggies, flowers and herbs. Tidyied up everything else.
.
My succulents are all in bloom and found a baby Praying Mantis as well.

Full Moon Scarf.
.
I hoped to have this scarf finished for winter but my hands didn't allow me to.
.
Now the recipient (one of my sisters) is flying to Europe at the end of October so hoping I can finish it for her to take it with her.
.
I have a bad cold so sitting on the couch coughing my lungs up and doing some catchup knitting.
.
.
Pattern: Full Moon Scarf by Emily Foden (Knits in Winter book).
Yarn: Viola in English Mustard (John Arbon in conjunction with Emily Foden).

Essential Wristlet.
.
A slight fail - chopped the birdie's head off!
.
Lined in pink with just a peep of the Christmas Galahs.
.
Hope the recipient likes it.

Fail!
.
The plan was to not come home with ANYTHING.
.
Great day spent with the @sydneyspoolettes at the fabric swap organised by the ever lovely Caz @usefulbox
.
Some lovely fabric and patterns (both sewing and knitting - I collect vintage ones so some nice ones for the collection).
.
Thanks Caz and great venue. Coffees delivered - who could ask for more.

👚New toy.
.
No #frocktails nor #campstitchsydney2019 so pattern adjusting for me.
.
Doing the Fitting Essentials course run by @inhousepatterns and discovering a new toy - the pattern notcher.
.
Cool.

Help needed lovelies.
.
I am making a Kris Kringle present for someone I don't know anything about.
.
I am making a wristlet with the main fabric the top one but am stuck on the fabric for the lining.
.
Christmas galahs or the pink? The pink isn't that intense as the image, a bit lighter.
.
The wristlet is the Essential wristlet by @dogundermydesk and I am doing the double zip so there is two lots of lining required. So maybe pink for main and galahs for the back? Choices!
