So busy busy!

Oh oh oh, I've been so terribly busy! I've spent the entire week making a big order of shrugs for a lovely shop in Plett, and I'm going up there this weekend to so some ladies how to make cardigans...knit knit knit!! So this is why I haven't been blogging! And I don't have time for a proper post right now. But I'll share this; I created a little logo for myself.


Sweet non? Have a lovely weekend!! *love*

Whats black and white and red all over?

Without sounding toooooo Sex and the City; starting the weekend off with my 3 close friends and cocktails on the beachfront is always good. When it leads to a metal-head gig at a dingy 'alternative bar' though, I usually end up going home at 10pm to blog or listen to a Harry Potter audio book or something.

I wore my new gladiator heels to cocktails, as a test of my endurance. I figured if I can manage in them after two-for-one cocktails on a Friday night, I'll hang on to them (I was having second thoughts about them because I bought them a size too small and they are uber high - bad combo). I teamed them up with some black tights, a turquoise vintage dress which I modified, one of my shrug/scarves and a coat - because I had the flu, again.

Too tipsy to smile apparently. Oh look, my birthday clip-on earrings...sweet!

My turquoise vintage dress, nice print and this is the first time I've worn it since I bought it 6 months ago.

Spent the rest of the weekend playing Eternal Sonata on Xbox, trying out the new treadmill and powerplate machine at Kyles place, knitting, and watching tv. This cutie pie slept with us last night, oh my gosh so cute!! Cute cute cute!

Soco...Socute

Oh and this is what I knitted today, another shrug/scarf. I quite like this, with the cream stripe. Its knitted in a very fine mohair yarn, super soft!

Kittens in trees

I've been keeping very busy making some samples for a boutique that may be interested in stocking some of my knitwear. I'm keeping it simple, as I couldn't keep up with producing a bunch of garments on my own right now, so I'm just making shrugs and scarves. Here's what I've done so far, please excuse my lame photography...Oh the shrugs double up as a scarf, so there are 2 pics of each. Cute yes.

This is a very fine mohair boucle yarn, beautifully softLove the different levels of transparency in the scarf... jellyfish-esque

This colour is amazing in real life, its got hints of pink and purple, all minky like

These two have skinny sleeves, cute with a little dress

I love how minimalist this is, it looks almost ceramic

They're really sweet because they're uber warm (mohair), good for layering and because they fit nicely in a little handbag, so no carrying big coats around. Yay for that. Also, here are just some of the fashion-related birthday prezzies I received. Thanks friends!

Little earrings from Jenrah, big white clip-ons from kerys, and teacup necklace from Carryn

And this beautiful top made by Jenna

Thank you to everyone for spoiling me rotten!
