While some major electrical work was being done my flatmate and I left the electricians in peace and drove to Orford. We stopped at Scorcher's Cafe for coffee and a piece of caramel cheesecake which was totally over the top in a good way. Spring beach was perfect, Orford always seems warm even in winter. Here are my new sensible boots that cost only $33.00!!! boys size 5 they're a little bit big but are fine with thick socks.
I've decided to knit a pair of booties instead of buying a new pair of Ugg's, the basic pattern is Aunt Alma's dorm boots with some changes. I'll felt together two separate boots the outside layer is made from carpet wool with the sole knitted with two strands (sole left open) and the inside layer is a soft pure wool knitted with two strands (sole closed) . The idea is to knit or use Kitchener stitch to join the boots together at the top cuff, sew the two layers together, sew outer sole closed then felt. I love buttons! here are the latest ones added to my stash.
I haven't been very good at keeping my blog up to date so this is what I've been up to. Waved at the Sea Shepherd, made lots of Easter buns but forgot to take any photo's of them when they were cooked, made up "learn how to knit" and "learn how to crochet" packs all from my own bits and pieces for a fund raiser, start another knitting project this time using my own pattern (it's going to be a neck warmer). Learn how to use my beautiful new camera Pentax K200, and get over the flu which for some reason made my eyes extremely sore .
