weekend pics

I finished knitting some fingerless gloves for my mum a week or two ago. They are being modeled by me, because i put them on as soon as i saw them on her coffee table!

I have wool to make some for me but seems ive been knitting the same cable pattern for my coat im not so enthusiastic to make them just yet. Hopefully the enthusiasm comes back soon because i really love these gloves, or maybe ill try a different pattern instead.

Speaking of my coat, im down tho the ribbing. Yay!

Just the sleeves and button band to go. Unless theres enough wool for a hood, i which case i think ill definately have to figure out how to knit one on. And then my coat will be ready to share with Anneke!

Speaking of Anneke, she gave me the cool slippers in this pic. You cant realy tell in the Photo but there covered in little peace signs, Awesome:)

Meet 'Sabine the second.' Levin asked me to get a frizzle chicken for her neighbour similar to the one i gave her. This one looks a lot like hers, so much so that my chickens didnt seem at all worried when i stuck a 'stranger' in with them. Im fairly convinced they just thought it was sabine back from her holiday

:)

Of course i couldnt come away from mums neighbour (who sells chickens) with just a chook to give away could i? I intended to get one grey chook but came away with thes two. Im glad i did because there a little too small to go in with the other chooks for now, so they can keep eachother company. She thinks they will be verry small when their full grown, which is perfect as they wont make much mess free ranging my garden. always a plus

and just a few of the chooks in their newly pretty house
