the neighbourly birthday gift

long time no blog, how did that happen, i have not been up to much, we did get an offer on our house, which after a little negotiation we accepted (hooray) so now will come the hard work of actually moving, not that we have anywhere to move to yet! (we are considering renting, as the people buying from us want things to move quite fast) so i'm feeling a little daunted but ever so excited, 

it feels like i have been making very little recently, i have done the heels on the socks, so am now just working on the cuffs when the mood takes me, 
i'm still working on the noro shawl, but as each row gets longer, progress has slowed a little

i did knit up a lovely little neighbourly for a sweet little girls 1st birthday present, which i can now share, as i know it made it to her in time for her birthday (happy birthday little M)
 
i used freedom sincere dk yarn, which is a lovely organic cotton, in what i'm hoping will be a very wearable colour for a one year old!
i love this pattern, it's nice and easy, but quick enough to keep your interest, i definitely plan on making little O another one in some chunky yarn for next autumn,
