My Knitting
Reading this blog recently you’d be forgiven for thinking that I don’t really knit.
I do, and have been, although while we were away I managed 12 rows of a baby dress, two of which I had to unpick. Of course, I’d brought 3 projects with me, and picked up some special needles on the way (more on those in a day or so). My knitting mojo has flown right out of the window.
For the sake of having something round and round and simple to knit I made a cowl from some hipknits cashmere.
I don’t like it. It’s soft and yummy feeling but too big. I may rip it out and remake it as Michael’s lovely Man Cowl. Not sure. For now it’s just going to sit a while.
Before we went away I’d started on the Hemlock Ring Blanket. It’s great. I love this pattern. The rounds are quite big now though, and I don’t feel up to them right at this moment, even though it’s a very handy pattern for knitting a few stitches on and then putting back down.
I’ll come back to it soon.
So, that’s where I am at the moment. I have ideas, and other things to get working on, but I’m lost in books right now. Can’t stop reading.
