Vintage Purls

Life has been hectic but in a good way. My sock club is up and running and participants got their first installment (called Toasty) this week:

And I’m busy working on the second and third installments.

I became an auntie! She was a wee bit early (6 weeks) but she’s done very well and was able to leave hospital for home yesterday (she was born on the 22nd of May). Introducing Anya:

My knitterly self is delighted to have a wee thing to make outfits for but I felt terribly unprepared when she arrived so early and so little. I’m also busy with work knitting so I’m not being the prolific knitter aunt I want to be. Stella helped out by making the worlds cutest booties:

Mr K has been traveling the world for work which leaves me lonely at home and with the entire fur mob to care for by myself. They take advantage of his absence and my weaker state to do special things like sleep on the bed with me at night, which I have yet to learn simply leads to poor sleep for me and is no substitute for Mr K at all. He’s off again this week, to the States this time so I’m arranging some School House Press books to come home with him since we have only limited access to Elizabeth Zimmermann publications in New Zealand.

Keeping up with yarn dyeing and the like has seen my ability to prepare new vintage patterns for the site impeded - there are plenty more to go up but they are time consuming to scan and then clean up into a readable state. More will come though, just bear with me.
