Knitting news!
I finished the modified anguli cowl, but I can't seem to find a picture :( I'm a little disappointed with the fit, but I should have checked gauge lol
I also finished the dancing shoes socks, these are knit with heart and sole on 2.25mm needles and will be for my mum.
I cast on with my Dr Seuss yarn from the yarn tree, I'm knitting this months New York sock club pattern, Central Park, on 2mm needles.
I've also cast on for a test knit, this is the Winter is Coming grande shawl by Sally Jane, and I'm knitting it with jellybeans yarns in the stormy weather colourway. It'll take about 900m of fingering weight yarn...that's a lot of knitting lol
And I foolishly signed up for multiple test knits at the same time lol The second test knit I'm working on is the cutting edge shawl by tikki knits and I'm using malabrigo rios and 5mm needles, it'll take about 3 skeins. I don't have 3 skeins in a single colour, so I'm going for a hallowe'en themed 3 colour project :) fingers crossed it looks good once I'm finished lol
I made a mistake :( so I had to rip back a bit as the eyelet pattern no longer lined up :( what a waste of about 3 hours of knitting lol I will add this was all my fault and nothing to do with the pattern, I lost track and put a yo in the wrong place :(
Spinning news!
I finished the countess ablaze (with a spirit as stubborn as yours) sw merino; 102g 232m 2ply
I finished the countess ablaze (secret in my designs) sw merino; 98g 234m 2ply
I've put some more random rolags from fondant fibre on my akerworks drop spindle, but not as much as I'd have liked :)
Goodies!
My awesome friend made me this super cute bag, she saw the fabric and thought of me :) I love it, hopefully once my son is back at school she can teach me how to make one :)
My firefly box from the yarn tree arrived, I love it :)
It contained:
400m/100g firefly (mine is sw merino/nylon but you could choose sparkle)
Blue sun keyring
Blue sun pin badge
Blue sun stitch markers/keepers
and a card advertising firefly cards
Happy Crafting!
