Month: November 2009

I think I have said before how much I love the colours in my latest Rainforest socks. I am on to sock number 2.

 

As the weather is starting to change, now is a great time to knit some woolly socks whether they be for yourself or a present for a friend or ralative. There are loads of yarns to choose from but becoming one of my favourite collections is the new Rainforest V collection from Opal.

I have been good thus far!

Happy Knitting.

Skein 1 for David – Autumn Blaze in the Blissful yarn. 100% British Blue Faced Leicester in a 4 ply sock weight.

Skein 2 for David – Windfall also in the Blissful yarn.

skein 3 is for me – Smoked Salmon in the Enchant yarn.

I haven’t wound these yet as I still have socks on the needles and am trying to be tough with myself when it comes to starting something new when there are already “projects” on the needles.

I am just turning the heel on the sock. I can’t help but say again how lovely the colours are.

I made some progress on Pucara last night and am at the neck shaping but I cannot follow the pattern so I have sent an email to Jane Ellison and am waiting on her reply. I may be having a durr moment but we shall see.

Please forgive me for not having published for a couple of days. I’ve been pre-occupied sorting out “stuff”.

That stuff is almost ticketyboo. So the blog should run as planned from here on in

Sock is making progress

Pucara is also coming along just lovely. The left front is almost finished and believe it or not the back is making good progress.

I have tried to get a close up of the pattern to show you

This photo shows the colour better. I can’t wait for this one to be finished so I can wear it.

Have a great Sunday. I am off to a birthday party – 25 four year olds. Do you think I can sit in the corner and knit?

Though every row counts. I am off in to London tomorrow on the train so may get a few extra rows in there and back.

It is late so I am off to knit a few rows on Pucara. I may even get the left front finished.

Happy Knitting.

I have another pair of socks for the sock drawer.

I don’t know what was the matter with me I had to do the toe three times. I just couldn’t get it right. Was casting off all over the place. Mind obviously somewhere else. However they are now off the needles. On to the  Rosa Die Susse, I think these are going to be fun to knit. Colours are lovely.

Happy Knitting.

The yarn for this was bought the same time as the yarn for Lima – treat following my operation.  The pattern is fairly easy to remember - 4 rows with 4 stitch cable. I am knitting it on addi turbo’s. This is how far I have got – the right front and 2/3rd’s of the left front.
