Cheese making..

Monterey Jack cheese ..
Here it is at last, after reading a post over at Killiecrankie Farm
About cheese making, Hubby, just had to get back into making it once again.
DH is always making something for me to try :))
So far he has made.. Fromage Blanc, Neufchatel, and today Monterey Jack..
It seems to me we will need a larger kitchen  LOL..

I have been knitting, yes you read correctly I did say knitting
I am helping out a group of ladies from "Odd Socks" who make items for different charities, here in Northern Tasmania..
The fish  will be sewn into blankets for St Giles Children.. Cute aren't they..
I have to admit they need to be improved on before I send them on..
Hope your day has been a crafty one and remember a smile goes for miles..

One down 3 to go :))

Eve's baby shawl, completed.. My DSI, asked me to make this for a neighbour who is expecting her first child.. I was rather chuffed to be asked,   and pretty pleased with the end result..
It isn't a large shawl by my standards only 34x42.
The pattern comes from a book Heirloom baby blankets by Lucille laFlamme...

Wips for Wednesday ..

I couldn't help myself, I had to start yet another project from the book named "Elegance" so pretty in Red heart licac. .. I am using patons BigBaby 4ply, and a 5mm hook..
When I saw Debi's from Hooks and Yarns  I knew I had to make a start to complete this one :))
The rains are here and the garden is smiling for now.. So from me in Tasmania keep smiling and see you at your blog :))
