A New Fence Many socks and other stuff....

So Back in October there was a Sunday morning where the wind was blowing quite hard and I looked out my kitchen window to see my fence standing or straggling where it usually does. When I looked again it was leaning at about 45 degree angle on to our property. We were very lucky it had stayed intact so long anyhoo... Since then our best back neighbour (All props to Troy for organisation) suggested we make an insurance claim and have the hind leg removed and a lovely new fence installed.

So everything went as easily and quickly as it could be expected under the circumstances until we had a date for it to be replaced. Then the fence contractor couldn't come after we took the fence down. Imagine two boys under 6 a phsychotic and energetic Jack Russel cross Australian Terrier two gorgeous Kelpies and two chickens with no fence to separate them - it could have got ugly... so cut out the whinging and we are now at the end of a five week stint without a back fence. Heavens to Betsy I come home at lunch today and it is finished (almost).

Ok so there are about 2 panels that need to be put on. Apparently he "raced" to get the extra panels so I think he might get them here next week.....
Sorry about the sarcasm .....

Soon to come a vegy patch ooohhhh yeah!!!

Ok Sock update..... (I will finish my cardigans soon and start some other lovely yummy stuff but i have to get the sock fetish out of my system....)

Here is the partner sock to Mel's birthday socks (still have to kitchener stitch the toe..) Its a Jaywalker sock knitted in Jigsaw wool (mmmm me likes) many thanks to Grumperina on Ravelry . Mel has the other one so I just spend ten minutes finishing off and then happy days!!!

Yep I didn't rotate this pic... hmmm anyway in the spirit of Sock Wars III that I recently joined and for the pure delight of my nephew and his uncle (Ash wants some too) I found some acrylic Camo wool. The plan is for everyone to have some by the time we go to the Flinders Ranges... Not so sure about acrylic for socks but it was camo colours and all the boys will wear them to death. I might dye some Moda Vera Sock wool for me from Spotlight ($4.99 a ball you can't beat that) in the right colours so I can go camo too. I think I am becoming a wool snob. Ugghhhh Scary stuff.

Sock Wars start in May and the Nom De Geurre is 00.2mm. Watch out I am a quick knitter when I want to be!!!!

I just thought I would add these very very cute Gabu. I took pics for Ravelry and they got uploaded here by accident. The boys love them (even though Alex - AKA Dennis the Menace - did try to flush the pink one down the toilet. I had to wash him obviously and was very glad I used acrylic to make them with) and they are great for throwing at people because they don't hurt. I would rather my boys didn't throw anything at each other - but they are boys - and Gabu is better than a metal Hot Wheels car. My boys think that the Hotwheels theme is Hot Wheels beat each other with that!!! not Hot Wheels Beat that!
