so, after some blog perusal just to jog the little grey cells, here's some of the stuff you haven't seen:
First up, you might remember the red slouch hat I made for Nadie. At the time I said that I was going to make a blue one for myself
which I did
and then the girl hinted strongly that she wouldn't mind one
so now there are twins.
BWM Luxury 8ply in Junior Navy
KP Harmonies 4.5mm and 3.75mm
Which is just as well, because a certain person has managed to misplace hers twice already and has had to borrow mine
which is okay
not as though I've been going out anywhere
and then she expressed a strong desire for a blue scarf
I was going to say matching scarf, but it doesn't exactly
match that is
it's the same colour as the hat, but is a completely different lace pattern ... the same Grandmothers Lace variation that I 'unvented' for the Frothy Gothy Wristwarmers.
DD already has a matching set of those Wristwarmers and scarf in country red Sirdar Snuggly DK. They were made a couple of years ago and by happy co inky dink are close enough in colour as makes no nevermind to the BMW 8ply Luxury in Ruby that I used for her slouchy hat version1.
The red one btw has four eyelet rows per point [ so 8 pattern rows ] and this one has 6/12, so the points are a little larger. Not precisely what The Girl had in mind, but mama likes it/
what else?well, the Hair Of the Dog handspun shawl is waiting for me to recover enough to spin more alpaca/samoyed, so it's in hibernation at probably about half finished
I crocheted a different shawl while I was waiting but no pix yet, so I guess that's a post for another day
Some of the alpaca/kid angora/corrie cross handspun from the Goat Show demo at Easter is now a pretty basic, rustic lookung beanie for David
and then there was ...and...
okay stopping now before anyone has a cerebral meltdown

I see your sense of humour is still intact!
Nadie looks like she's a Lady of Distinction from an old time photo. It's a beautiful picture.
David's hat looks so soft and warm. It's so hot here, just the thought of a wool hat makes me cringe.
Holy cats, you've been busy!
Lovely work, all. And I had to remind myself that our seasons are the reverse of yours - I kept thinking it would be a long time till you could make use of all those woolly wonders...
Oh, nice hat! And scarf. And pin!
