The emails I got last week (regarding our big CAT Dump Trucks) were kind of funny. The guys obviously wanted to know more about the Trucks, told me to stop bothering with all the "knitting crap"!

 

 

Please drop me a hello on the blog! It'd be nice to have a comment from someone other than my mother!!!!!

Hi - just proving you should never give up (or at least - maybe I should learn when not to start a project!)

 

The Laceweight Christening Gown is making progress!

 

 

I started the sleeves because I needed a break from the shells on the skirt - you can see more photos on my blog:

would you care to make it interesting? see who gets done first? I'll bet you a sewing machine warranty and a bottle of shampoo, I beat ya.

 

I didn't work on it today, worked on my flannelghan, I'll get back to it tomorrow I hope.

[frogrockr]

hmmmmm... but you're working with #10 thread and I'm working with something that between #20 and #40!

 

I might race you on a pair of booties!!!

 

At present its a better race to see which gets finished - the gown or the Tailings Dam!!!!

Is it the "having a baby" part ? or having another little person around (with the beautiful beautiful eyes that yours are utterly blessed with)?

 

I'm trying to work it out :2hug
