failed test knitter

Please, let this be a lesson to everyone! Do not ask me to be a test knitter for you and if I say yes, give me a strict deadline and don't be too nice to me! Because life gets in the way with a new baby and it will take me over a month to knit up a simple baby vest. Yumiko, you were so nice and patient and I loved knitting this up for you!

I feel terrible and lesson learnt! But how cute is this pattern? Super quick and easy to knit even if you're nursing a newborn yourself and tending to another 3 children. I used a 5 ply from the back room (also known as knitters heaven) at Bendigo  and I wasn't sure on the grey at first but I love it now.

You'll be able to find the baby pattern soon on yumiko's website and in the meantime can buy her children's version................

yes, I could eat her up!

And I haven't blocked this or anything, I basically just put down my darning needle, grabbed my camera and started snapping pictures. But gosh it reminded me why I love my crafts, the pure satisfaction and warm fuzzies that come from making something yourself. It's my drug...............just like spending money on my craft.
