Hi all
I am feeling pretty confident we will see Indigo this week!

Kim Hargreaves is one of my favourite designers. Kim was a key performer in Rowan Yarns great success story for over twenty years. A multi-talented knitwear designer she managed the Rowan brand, creating hundreds of individual designs, selecting new yarn colours, master-minding the fashion stories for the magazines and styling the photographs that would inspire people to knit the garments with style. Kim now has her own on-line label with yarns, patterns and trimmings all available by mail order, neatly packaged.
Kim Hargreaves’ latest book is due for release in early April – Indigo.
21 designs for garments and accessories using Rowan yarns including Creative Linen, Pima Cotton, Cotton Glace, Panama, Handknit Cotton, Siena, Kidsilk Haze, Fine Lace, Denim and All Seasons Cotton.
Meanwhile I had better get knitting on all those WIP’s in readiness for release date!
Happy knitting

This evening I have started Wisdom for the second time! I have knitted 19 rows and so far so good – although a long way still to go. My aim is to get the back knitted this week!

I am rather selective about which knitting books I buy now but when I saw Knitting with The Color Guys: Inspiration, Ideas, and Projects from the Kaffe Fassett Studio I had to part with my money!
It is a lovely book and the pictures are divine.
Knitting has been a little on the quiet side of late but hoping to get back in to it this week. I have a few things I want to knit in March. One of which is these. I have a ball of Cashsoft DK from Rowan in lime.
I also want to knit Wisdom
and I have some felted tweed in grey to do so. I have a trip planned for 31st March and my aim is to “showcase” this.
Off to the hairdressers tomorrow and hoping to finish a sock which will be the 2nd in the pair and the completion of 3 pairs that need grafting!
Have a great week-end.

As promised here is a photo of my seeded scarf.
I am knitting with a yarn I have not tried before. It is a cashmere dk from Lotus Yarns. I actually purchased the yarn from Skein Queen who are based very local to me – 5 miles down the road in fact!
I thought this would be a quick knit but have to say it is taking longer than I was expecting.
Work tomorrow!
Happy Knitting

A very Happy New Year to you all. I cannot believe it is 2012. Well 2011 was not too good on the knitting front so I am determined to make 2012 more of a success.
I could make a few resolutions but may be I will be better without them! Just a little bit of knitting planned for January and a lot of finishing!
Finish seeded rib scarf
Finish Thea from Kim Hargreaves Precious book
Knit my 5 squares for Debbie Abrahams Mystery Blanket
Finish 2 pairs of socks already on the needles
and if I get all of that done there is
Sport from Rowan book 25 – another Kim Hargreaves special to sew up
Buttons to sew on to Daisy
Breeze to sew up
So plenty to do but no stressing about it. It will all be done by spring!
I will take a photo of the seeded rib scarf tomorrow.
Happy Knitting
