Finished! [Finished Objects, In Progress, Stash!] — Administrator @ 9:01 pm

finished Branching Out. I actually really enjoyed doing this once I got past the first stage as it just seemed so far away from finishing. After I must have done about 8 repeats or so it really seemed to be coming along really well and so the end was in sight so to speak. This is a work in progress shot of it. I’ll take another pic after blocking and we’ll see if it changes it at all. I knit it with some Rowanspun dk wina really nice blue colour. Worked well for this scarf, I originally bought quite a few skeins to make a jumper with but I just could never get gauge with it and I got annoyed so flogged the untouched skeins. This was the one I’d already balled up.

Another wip is the Transparent Cardigan. I’m not sure if I’ll have enough yarn for this though so we’ll see how it goes. I got some really 80’s style mohair from the charity shop so am using that. Problem is it doesn’t state the yardage of it so I’m guessing really. Need to clarify a few bits of the pattern too as I don’t quite understand some of it or I may try and wing it. We’ll see!!

And I dunno when I’ll start this but I fancy making this sweater. I had some merino chunky lying about but not enough so I bought some more in a different colour so it will have to be stripey! Not sure if it will look ok or how to do the stripes (thick / thin??) but again we’ll see how it goes. Here’s the yarn:

Oops [Stash!] — Administrator @ 1:18 pm

I dunno how I did it, but I “accidentally” managed to buy myself some knitting books from Amazon yesterday!! So I now have :

Stitch n Bitch
Stitch n Bitch Design Journal
and
The Happy Hooker

all coming. And of course next I will need to get some crochet hooks as I don’t have any. Like I said “oops” ;)

Photo’s coming!
