Sunshine

What superb weather we are having at the moment, I really hope it is here to stay. I am making good progress with daisy. I have this evening finished the back and in time to photograph outside.

When I was picking my colours for this I really wanted to knit the trim in cream however there isn’t a cream in the pima cotton dk so I bought a grey. I was chatting to a friend at the week-end and she said she would have put cream with it. When I told her that is what I wanted but there wasn’t one in the yarn she suggested I use milk cotton dk and they do a cream – it is called snow. Anyway I was over in Reading today so I took my ball of grey back to John Lewis and changed it for this.

I now need to cast on 23 stitches and knit 25 rows of stocking stitch to make a pocket lining – shouldn’t take long. I can then cast on the left front. I would like this up and running for my train journey tomorrow.

I did cast on a pair of socks ot the week-end in readiness for 2 train journeys to Reading and back and a trip to London and back this week. Fortunately or unfortunately for the knitting the trip to London has been postponed to 20th May.
