My last post, three months ago, was about Gisborne and last weekend we found ourselves back there again. I have been hibernating like a lazy old bear but it is now time to rejoin the world and Gisborne is as good a place to start as any.
It was time for another bloggers meet.
Lots of familiar faces filled the room with a few new ones as well.
The swap theme was a soft toy and what a cute display it was.

My broken dishes haven't been forgotten but progress has slowed.

A recent visit to the Bendigo Woollen Mills has distracted me. I bought some wool, that came with a free pattern, and have made my first pair of socks. This project has been on my "To Do" list for many years. They are rather shapeless but they do their job.
Next pair under construction.

Another great time out with the girls......
What a gorgeous bunch of soft toys...each of them very cute. Fabulous socks too.
Cute little swap gifts. Toy making is something I steer clear of! Absolutely love your socks.
Slow progress is still better than no progress Elyte and it is looking great. What fabulous gifts everyone made. Clever lot. Sock knitting should come with a warning of being highly addictive. They look lovely.xx
