Flu and festivities

Well, I have been so ill the last week that I barely did anything. What I did manage to complete was the nappy order I have on my new Etsy shop... 12 waterproof pocket Nappies. They have a layer of waterproof nylon in the back of the pocket to stop leaks and the buyer wanted them with an extra bit of elastic accross the back of them and velcro closures... so... here's a peek if you are interested...




The other thing I have acheived is to finish the back of a new cardigan that I have started, this is a pic from the very beginning...



The wool I used was not the very pricey Kidsilk Aura that the pattern calls for, I bought a mohair 70%/acrylic 30% wool from a shop here. Not only was I amazed to find anything with a content of mohair or wool in it, but the price also amazed me, it was about 1$ per 50g ball. It's a lovely colour too, so i a really pleased.

I might as well round off with a pic of the wee girl... this is Rafaela with my mother-in-law, the cafe we are in dates back to the year 1200 when the Ottoman Empire reached into Romania.
