A Mile of Mice...

There is currently a project aiming to create a mile of knitted mice to raise money for the Alzheimer's society.

You can find out more about the project on ravelry and facebook.  I've made ten for the cause.

As you can see, Mark the guinea pig was pretty unimpressed.  We are currently having a spell of glorious sunshine here in the UK.  Which is perfect for using my new sunglasses case, made by the very talented blupaisan as part of a Craftster swap.

Plus it is great weather for a cycle, and a chance to show off my new bike basket!

PS) These cute seagull chicks are on the roof opposite, they are getting bigger and stronger (and nosier) every day, and are sure to fledge soon!

Swingy cardi & a Windfarm

On the needles is the garter stitch swingy sweater by Jenn Pellerin. Hopefully this will make a dent in the yarn mountain I currently have.
So far it is knitting pretty easily, I took advice on when to split for the sleeves from the That Girl! Summer Jacket over at Craftzine (which is currently in my ravelry queue). On Saturday we took a trip to Whitelee Windfarm, Europe's largest inshore windfarm no less. The wind turbines were quite mesmerising, and the views spectacular. Well worth a visit.
