EJ, I hear you on the need for escape. Nice one, getting two pieces done, they sound very cute.
As for me:
Finished the pyjamas! Polka dot flannelette made up in a kimono style.I just made a night dress for DD1, next on the list is a pair of flannelette pjs for winter... if I can get my machine out from under the pile of *stuff* sitting on in.
I just tried to start a gorgeous cardigan (knitted) for DD2 but realised I haven't got the right needles for the project so that is back on the drawing board for the moment.
I guess it will have to be more of the crocheted food I'm making for DD's birthday present and maybe another few crocheted easter eggs...
They didn't turn out exactly as I had expected as I was using a pattern from the internet... untried before. Next time I think I will use a commercial pattern or try copying a from something I already have. Ahh, hindsight.
With the cardigan, I decided to try another pattern - one I have got needles for and I am just about done. I love knitting little things, they take shape so quickly! I only have one sleeve, the front buttonhole facing and a little more of the 'cable' on the yoke. I can't believe I just worked out how to knit cable!! Then it is sewing it all together and blocking! Just in time for the cooler weather.
Next, a cardigan (Tiny tea leaves for DD1) and a few other little ideas are on the agenda...
Now, just need to find the time.
