Where has the time gone......

It is funny how time slips by so quickly. I can't believe we are is April already and it is nearly Easter (and my birthday) which is Easter day this year Lucky me chocolates and presents!!
We have been very busy in my house.
My little princess turned 9 months a couple of weeks ago, she is becoming such a big girl it makes my heart melt...

I finally finished my knitting projects I started...

One completed scarf...



I thought the scarf turned out great! When I finished this scarf I felt such pride as it was my first knitting project completed! I Loved how the wool knitted up and loved the color! It should be nice and warm for winter


One completed bib...



So I tried a pattern and knitted up a bib... Following a pattern wasn't as hard as thought. As I knitted up the bib following the pattern reading patterns weren't as complicated as I once thought they where.

Bitten by the knitting bug...
I excitedly browsed through the patterns on Ravelry to find my next masterpiece....
And decided to Knit my little princess a shrug....



So far so good.... Only one little problem... I was knitting along going great and I reached the m1 increase. Th problem is I have never done a m1 increase. So I got out my knitting book (Stitch and Bitch by Debbie Stoller) and looked up how to do a m1 increase. I followed the books instructions however something went wrong and ended up with a hole!! So I tried again and same thing another hole!!
Not to worry I asked my mum in law Denise if she could save me as she is an excellent knitter!! And she only lives an hour away. I sent my knitting over to her to unpick for me and she sent it back so being a lite bit anxious and abit impatient I hopped onto google and googled m1 increase I found a great tutorial. So I got my shrug again and tried the m1 increase again only to get a hole again!!
Now the shrug is on hold.
This time I am waiting to this weekend as we are going over to Denise's and she can show me this time how to do it this time. Years to come I will probably look back and laugh at my m1 increase attempts. The joys of learning to knit.


We decided to go for a visit back home to Cobar last weekend. It was great seeing everybody! Natalie enjoyed herself so much as she got to play with all of her cousins the stay wasn't long enough, but it never is. I had such a great time catching up with all of my family and friends.

As you can see we have been busy in our house.

We are off to Denise's on Friday for the Easter weekend and my birthday should be a great weekend as my DH auntie and uncle are coming for the weekend. Plus there will be loads of chocolate which will definitely make it a great weekend...
