A Catch Up of Sorts

Hi all, 

It's been a while on my poor dear blog. So what's been happening at Blue Mtns Knits? 

Over the past few months I've started a new local job which has taken up most of my time.
 In the meantime I've been on Facebook and Instagram.

So for a quick snapshot of the past few months:

I had a go at Me Made May
 (Does anyone else find it really hard to take selfies every single day?)

Me in my me made knitted Noro Tunic

I did a market at Grand View Markets Wentworth Falls on the June public holiday weekend. Although it was zero degrees in the morning and there was a heavy frost, it was still awesome! 

 And I've been making stuff. 

Baby Katoomba Slouchy Beanies

Crochet Hexagon from Ruby Hexagon Blanket (Free patt on Ravelry)

Adult's Katoomba Slouchy Beanie

For the future I'm hoping to achieve that mythical work/life balance and be back soon. 

Thanks for reading, 

Adelaide

Me Made May 16 #MMMay16

So a last minute decision was made! I am signing up for Me Made May 16 #MMMay16 

I, Adelaide from www.bluemtnsknits.blogspot.com.au and #bluemtnsknits, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '16. I endeavour to wear at least one handmade item of clothing on my days off - currently Friday, Saturday and Sunday - for the duration of May 2016 :) 

This pledge is a challenge designed by 'So Zo..What do you know?' to encourage people who are crafty to wear and love their handmade garments more. This is the 6th year of Me Made May but my first year of participating so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. I'm hoping the handmade inspiration will rub off on me this month and that I'll discover my wardrobe stables. 

I'm only committing the pledge to my days off because at the moment I have no interest in making black work pants/skirts or plain shirts. If you wish to find out more about the challenge and be a late sign up too then the link is here. 

I'll be documenting it on Instagram and do a round up on the blog to let you know how it goes. 

Also as a more personal pledge I aim to finish knitting a cardigan this month but more on that coming soon. 

Thanks for reading, 

Adelaide
