A bit of this and a bit of that.....

More swaps on Ravelry, this time Maree is helping with a swap for kids. Here is the hat in progress

and I am knitting a jacket for Georgia; soft, squishy, purple and huge. It's nearly finished. I think it will be loved because it is so soft. It's techno fleece and impossible to see the stitches.
This is what is on my wheel at the moment, some teal cashmere. Now those who know me will say "teal???" but be assured it isn't for me, it is for my partner in a Ravelry blue colour swap, and her favourite blue is teal. The cashmere is very soft, and was one of my finds at the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show, from Fibreworks. There have been 2 problems. I wanted it to be as fine as sewing thread and it wanted to break all the time, so it is a little thicker to avoid breaking, and the colour is coming off onto my hands as I spin so I look like I am wearing teal gloves!
