Hello October! Everything seems to start to slow down at the MiH house. Every project requires weeks of preparation before being ready to share (and I am not even talking about knitting). We are slowly hibernating, and that is fine. I like to take things slowly, especially as I know it will all be over next month when I go back to work. So one month of slowness is fine by me. 

I love October, not sure about November, and adore December. The colours are magnificient, you get some sunny days and beautiful natural light. I love planning for chunkier knits, hats, mittens and throws. All of these are on my to-do list, and I may have some spare projects if I got bored. 

I am hoping to finish my double moss cardigan - and just move on to something else! I have started to follow Rebecca's tutorial on natural dyeing  - I am on the final stage of getting the fabric ready - so there may be some progress to share this month on that front. The boys need beanie hats and scarves - I know one of them will love wearing both, the other is yet to be convinced that anything on his head is a good idea, I am hoping he will get used to the idea (like soon!). 

I have also asked some guest bloggers to help me out - Charlie of Offset Warehouse will tell us all about running her own ethical online fabric shop, and Cecile will share a tutorial on making an Autumn wreath (I cannot tell you how excited I am she said yes). 

I do have some finish projects for you too. And I will finally share with you what I did with this embroidery work. 



More knitting, more sewing, more inspiration... I hope you will join me and enjoy October as much as I will!

September in Review

Tuesday, 1 October 2013

Dear September,

How fun were you! First of all I have to thank you for the lovely weather we had during our holiday at the beginning of the month. 


I just had enough time to make my entry for le challenge - and in the process get myself a new phone, and sign up to instagram - which I am addicted to as I knew I would. 


I shared my first - ever - handmade dress. I still need to pluck up the courage to actually wear it.. you were not the month, sorry. 

A shawlette was made, given away and styled.. 

I even updated my diary to be on top of all the projects I want to be getting on with.. 


And thanks to these cookies ... 



I should have enough to tackle my current WIPs and the ones to come (a bit of knitting and quilting in the works).. 


September you were great, but I am so looking forward to the October colours...


And finishing some of my WIPs and getting a few tutorials up... What have you been up to during September?
