Aimless Patchwork

In between working full-time, applying for visas-certificates-godknowswhatelse, clearing the flat of everything I'm not taking, ebaying or donating that lot, packing up what I am taking, eating and sleeping, I have been doing pointless patchwork.

I don't know what I'm making. All I know is that those hexagons are 1/3". It is the only thing I do at the moment that doesn't require decisions.

I may be a bit behind with communicating with people. Sorry about that but it's been a tough few weeks and it won't be over til we get to Tokyo, and then it'll be a different kind of busy!

One thing - I'm giving away back copies of Interweave Knits on Ravelry.

First Knitting Lesson and Stockings

While helping my sister move I took some time out to introduce Jasmine to her future.

She isn't quite coordinated enough for the process but give it a few months and I'm sure she'll be churning out dishcloths like a natural. 

This weekend saw lots more preparation for the move to Tokyo plus these finally got finished.

Not their best angle - better like this:

There we have the first 3 for my sister, her husband and Jasmine, the next two for Deb and Sean, the next two for Mum and Rob and the last two for Pooch and I. Plus I already have the presents to fill all of them! (I hope.) I thought I had better get it done before I moved.

I'm really happy with them!
