The waving lace socks are finished!


Now I loved this pattern and I loved this wool but I would not put the two together again. The lace pattern only needs a solid yarn and this yarn is so gorgeous with the tones that it can be seen to its best in a piece of plain knitting.

Now onto the next..........

A lovely week with added stash!

Been another busy but great week here. Went to a friend's wedding on Thursday and had a fabulous day. Sadly DH couldn't get the time off work so my lovely son escorted me. It was blowing a gale and although the heavens opened when the newlyweds left the church it brightened up into a gorgeous afternoon and evening.

DS and me - running late as usual!

The beautiful hotel where the reception was held.

Was lucky enough to add to my sock stash this week from Socktopus - what excellent service, gorgeous wool, beautifully wrapped and quickly delivered. Thanks Alice will definitely be calling again!

Been focusing on finishing the waving lace socks since I am desperate to use the blue to start my Muscari socks from Knitty for the July/August knitalong, ah well back to the pins

Hope it's been a good weekend for you too!

I don't know! It's like buses, nothing for ages and then two in quick succession. This is a winter hat/headband called Calorimetry, which I finished as part of the July KAL (knit-a-long) for one of the forum groups over there. Will be great with my long hair, it's so think I get far too warm in a hat but love cosy ears!

Time for a catch up

Ok I really need to stop starting new projects till I get something else finished, some people are just such bad influences lol. So what's ongoing

This is the first of the mitts that I'm making for my aunt's birthday - she suffers from really bad circulation and her hands are always cold so thought these would help. The pattern is one I sourced on Ravelry and the wool was gorgeous and soft - Alpaca Superfine

Fellow Ravelry users.....

Is it just me or do you spend far too long on the PC and not enough time on the pins? lol

Have managed to progress in a few more projects so promise to update over this week!

Come back soon.

Last chance for a bit

Well the summer's here and I'm glad of the break from daily life. Cases are packed for a lovely week away in Paris with my boys so thought I'd just leave a wee update for now.

The Waving Lace socks are well underway just turned the heel on the second one, apologies to Ravelry colleagues for the repetition but here is the first one

I've also finished a mitt for my aunt's birthday but no pics yet, thought I would alternate these with the socks for a bit of a break and I have cast on a little top for me (my "selfish" groupmates will be proud of me) in some lovely cotton that I've had in the stash for about 18 years - eek!

Have a good week everyone - promise to be a better poster on return. ;-)
