Month: April 2010

and

                                                     a pink left front

I am loving knitting this. Some people are itching to get out and about I am itching to sit and knit this until it is finished. I can’t wait to wear it. I am loving knitting with the Pima Cotton.

I have my eye on this

It is a simiar style to Edie that I have just finished in the kid classic. Sadly I think it is getting too warm to get much wear out of it until much later in the year. If only I didn’t have a house full of yarn and could justify buying 11 balls of Pima Cotton. That said I am a nightmare for choosing a colour – perhaps

Oh well it is free to plan! I don’t think it would be quite such a fast knit as Edie.

Happy knitting.

                                                  Edie is ready to wear

I really like this one. It is rather baggy under the arms but I think that is how it is supposed to be – a kind of batwing! Hopefully this weather will hold and I can wear Edie at the week-end.

Daisy is coming along nicely. I am liking the colour more and more.

This is a reasonably fast knit although it is a while since I knitted a garment on 3.75mm needles that said I have knitted a lot of socks lately and they are on 2.5mm needles. Anyway I would like to have this to wear pretty soon especially if this weather holds up. A bonus for knitting time has to be the short sleeves or should I say tiny sleeves.

Have a good evening

There is still some sewing up to do but thanks to mattress stitch this seems a relatively quick “sew up”. Then I can get back to Daisy with a vengeance. The to do list is getting longer!

The cherry tree in our front garden is in full bloom.

Ok – so when Edie is finished and not before I have a decision to make on what to knit. Will it be

                                                               Daisy

or 

                                                              Rose 

Both of these are from Kim Hargreaves book Breeze and I have yarn ready and waiting for both. However I could wait for Kim’s new book Misty to arrive. 

Misty is available as of tomorrow but I am back at work tomorrow so kind of hoping David has heard me mention it enough times to place an order as soon as the book is launched!    

I have made some progress on sleeve number 2 for Edie today but not as much as I woudl have liked!

 

A couple more evenings and hopefully I will be there.

Happy Knitting

What a lovely sunny day! We have been for lunch at the local Garden Centre with my mum. Due Trading Laws they were unable to “sell” any goods so we could only browse after our lunch – David and I had chicken and my mum had roast lamb. It was warm enough to sit outside with our coffee and I was able to finish a pair of socks – well I did the toes when I got home!

Edie is making good progress. I am past the half way stage with the knitting.

                                         Edie – back, front and sleeve number 1

                                      Edie – sleeve 2 in progress                                          

Yes I am down to one sock on the needles – long may it continue. There is far too much else I would like to be knitting. I am sure I will always have a pair of socks on the go though but will try ultra hard not to have 3 pairs…..

It made a change to be able to take some photo’s outside. The forecast for the next few days is looking ok so if I get a wiggle on with sleeve number 2 for Edie there may be some more outdoor photo’s.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy those Easter eggs.
