I haven't knitted since before Christmas as somehow I felt completely burnt out after the manic Christmas run-up , trying to get the scarf for my MIL ready..
When I saw friends talking about a lovely childrens vest called MILO I knew I had to try knitting it. So when I got the pattern I was somewhat disheartened as it requires knitting in the round. So far I have only knitted two very simple hats and two gathered scarves so I thought I would never ever be able to do this!!
With the help of a good friend and youtube and a technique called the "Magic Loop" I have actually produced something similar to a Milo and it is working. OK it's by no means perfect , some little mistakes visible BUT I have been doing "Learning by doing" and I think that the second MILO will be a breathe!
I have left out the cable pattern though ;) !
The Yarn is "Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk" and is wonderfully soft!!
Reading myself through all the wonderful "Hawthorn Early Years Series" , at the moment it's The Genius of natural childhood which is theoretical and practical with lots of nursery rhymes, fairy tales and songs.
Also reading the "Paleo Diet" as still going strong on the Paleo Diet and so far have lost 14kg and feeling great!
