| A perfect Ahuriri morning to head out for a walk |
I cast on my third WIP (work in progress) for the month last week. After have a stellar completion rate over the festive season I have been struck with a chronic case of WIP whimsy. I don't know what's come over me - made worse by the fact that at work today I just had to HAVE 5 balls of super chunky in the richest Cerise imaginable.

| A Winter Cardi for me in a rustic Red Merino Possum |
It all started out fairly innocently, after completing Hugo's new vest I promptly started the cardigan I has planned for myself, in yarn I have had set aside for years. Georgie Hallum, designer of the ubiquitous Milo has an adult cardigan called
Miss Jane - the perfect little slip over everything cardi, one I could see myself thrashing this Winter. On it got cast & I got cracking.

| The chaos that is my Abstract Log Cabin Cushion |
Then it happened, the quiet Sunday afternoon when I saw all the tweedy scraps that I had assembled & I looked at the tatty cushion on my bed & though "That could do with covering", next thing you know I had started on an abstract version of the Log Cabin pattern I enjoy so much.

| The Perfect wee pattern for Ella |
And if that weren't enough, wee Ella, my go to 'baby girl' when I need a feminine fix, is turning two this weekend & that little 'knit nymph' in my brain pipes up again & declares "It's been far too long since you knitted something for that precious little girl, shame on you, shame on you" & Hey Presto! I'm scrambling through the stash cupboard looking for something remotely suitable for a two year old little girl & project #3 is born. At least knitting for a 2 year old is much quicker that a 6 year old, so after just a few days I am already knocking off the last sleeve & hope to get the sewing up completed tonight - a project completed.... then again I do hear that Cerise Super Chunky calling me......
