More darning at the markets and a bit about nesting

This morning was too nice a day to pass up one last day at the markets before baby... Just wanted to share a few pics from the market. I had another darning client whose favourite little knitted jumper had a huge hole at the elbow. I love the way it turned out and am considering just doing this to unholy jumpers just for the sake of it!

darned first in the traditional woven stitch then layered with merino wool tops
and needle felted with dotty accents

Quite a bit of nesting has been going on in the past few weeks. Pre-washing nappies and generally beautifying the house. I love the look of these beautiful organic cotton muslin nappies hanging on the line...

Although technically it isn't Autumn, I finally got around to making another Autumn Leaves Mobile for our Melbourne house...

... one more bonnet for baby. This one will be the perfect fit from birth, it's one of Elizabeth Zimmerman's patterns, it's called the Maltese Fisherman's Hat from the Knitter's Almanac. I added an attached icord around the front which really finishes off the pattern nicely I thought.
