Wonderland from MillaMia

Renae Beardmore — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 03:59:11 GMT

Look what arrived in the post on Friday…the new book from MillaMia with the most gorgeous patterns!!!

It has 19 patterns for babies and children, including some for children up to 8 years of age. It stays true to the MillaMia clean, simple aesthetic with lots of beautiful use of colour. There are even lots of fantastic patterns for boys, which take it from me (the mother of a 5yr old boy) are hard, hard to find. The patterns range from beginner knits, to those for knitters that want a challenge.

I have loaded stock up into the shop and will post with more pictures of the patterns from the inside once the images are available.

WWKIP Day

So Saturday I did my little bit to contribute to World Wide Knit in Public Day (WWKIP). Actually it wasn’t that far removed from a regular Saturday for me…here I am:

….knitting sideways at a (very cold) early morning soccer game for the boy-child ( hey it’s late and I can’t rotate this picture!!!!!!!!!!)

…squeezing in another couple on the way to town to do some shopping (that’s the National Library of Australia across the lake BTW)

…the big difference was the 15 or so people that joined me for a public display of knitting/crocheting and a spot of afternoon tea – no photo here I’m sorry because we were all too busy talking, knitting and just having a ball!

Thank you to everyone who showed up…
