Onwards and upwards

Hmmm, Blogger Beta. Anyone else changed over to it? It looks like it will incorporate lots of features Typepad seems to offer, which is good, and it seems to have shortcut for Safari. Yay! If only next they would sort out loading pictures - it takes forever, and often seems to fail - and shortcuts for links.

Yesterday, I got round to finishing a 0-6 months sweater for Moot. Who will be six months old on 1 December. Oh well. It's the one advantage to her being such a teeny tiny babe: her clothes last longer, and it doesn't matter if her mother is a lazy knitter.



The pattern is Dumpling from Rowan Babies, in Big Wool. Can't remember the name of the colour, but I think it's the one in the picture in the pattern book. It was relatively easy, although I hadn't knit two rows together before, and it doesn't look very neat. The big plus was that Big Wool knits up so quickly, leaving plenty of time to try to take pictures of her wearing it.



Next up is finishing a Debbie Bliss cardigan for her, which I started before she was born. Then it's on to her bumper and Christmas presents.

One of the presents I want to make is a pair of matching eye-pillows for my sister-in-law and her boyfriend, filled with lavender and flaxseed. Does anyone know for sure that flaxseed and linseed are the same thing?
