Hugo's first fish! Is that a happy boy or what! |
It almost seems to happen overnight when all of a sudden Summer is over & you are staring down the barrel of the cooler months. Our lives are frenetic in February. Napier is ripe with activity: Art Deco weekend, Mission Concert, Church Rd Winery concerts, not to mention getting the boys settled back into school.

Louis gets face painted at Ella's Birthday |
We have had some lovely visits from family & friends over the past month, with even more planned for March. I have also been very good getting oodles of knitting finished, including a birthday cardigan for Ella & my winter Cardi project, completed just in time for me to wear down to Dunedin to
Unwind this weekend.

Ella's Birthday Cardi |
My next project is is one of my classic fluid 'wing it' Buscke specials. We have this fabulous new super chunky yarn at
Skeinz & one of the colours is the most vibrant Magenta - it didn't speak to me this yarn, it shouted with expletives for me to cast it on. I am playing around with some 10mm needles, a laddering stitch & some fairly dodgy maths to see whether I can make an idea in my head translate into something wearable - fingers crossed! If I have managed my new technology correctly I hope to be able to blog updates whilst at Unwind....
