Anna's Weblog

is finished and I love it.

I am getting lots of wear out of this. It is so comfy to wear. Lots of lovely compliments aswell.

My latest sock

This is Koigu yarn and the first tiem I have knitted with it. I am liking the finish and well what can you say about the colours other than "gorgeous".

Since finishing Bay I have been knitting a desing from Kim's book Nectar .

Dawn

I think it will look better once the back neck edging is done and the ends all sewn in. I had origianlly intended wearing this to Henley Royal Regatta on Wednesday but if this weather holds up I won't be needing a woolly!

Happy Knitting

I managed to get out in the garden today to take a photo of Bay.

This is how Bay is looking. When this photo was taken I just had the neck to finish knitting and the sewing up. I have since finishd the neck and sewn the 2 side seams. Next will be the sleeves. I think Bay should be ready for a wash by Monday. I thought I had buttons but when I look I only have 6. I shall have to have a look in Camp Hopsons tomorrow.

Enjoy the long week-end.

I have been chatting on the phone this evening so little progress with Bay's front. There is still time yet!

I have just found my camera. Funny how it turns up once I have confessed to losing it. It has been missing since last Friday!

 I will be finished tomorrow!

Happy Knitting.

arrived today with this.

The next lot of sock yarn from the Get Knitted sock club. I took this photo outside this afternoon when we had some sunshine! Lovely colours once again. Guess the winder will need to come out but first I must finish the blue socks!

Talking of blue socks Daivd and I have been to the library this evening to listen to Pippa Greenwood. Pippa was speaking as part of the Feel good fortnight program being run by West Berkshire Council. Pippa has featured in BBC's Gardeners' Question Time, Gardener's World and The Daily Mirror. Her talk was based around Great Green Veg - growing your own great, tasty vegetables to keep both you and your garden fit. We bought a copy of one of her books.

David is the busy gardener!

As I was inspired to grow my own veg a sock was growing

Just the toe to do.

Happy Knitting.

I had forgotten how quickly my knitting grows once I get going on stocking stitch.

Left front of Bay

I am really enjoying knitting this. I am using the Memphis shade and although my needles are going blue my hands appear to remain blue free unlike when using Nashville! 

Progress on a sock aswell - all in 24 hours!

I am off to the races tomorrow so pray this rain stops. Note to oneself make sure

Jasmine is knitted and ready to wear to the next race meeting.

Well I surprised myself here with how quickly I managed to get this sock finished. A day - that must surely be a record for me.

And still no yarn from Get Knitted so on to sock number 2. I think it is about time a fresh garment was on the needles to get my mojo for bigger projects back.

I have a box ready and waiting containing pattern, needles and yarn. The lucky pattern is

Bay

A design from Kim Hargreaves latest book Breeze. I shall be casting on later this evening and I have a target of 2 weeks to knit. Watch me!

Happy Knitting.

In the absence of my sock club yarn I chose some Regia. 

Lovely and soft. The yarn has 20% silk in.

Mustn't forget those blanket squares.

Happy Knitting.

Thanks to the husband we now have photo's. A power lead always comes in handy!

I hope you have all enjoyed the week-end break.

Yes I am on the move, around the house that is. We are rearranging our rooms which involves moving the craft room. Consequently the computer is set up in temporary accommodation at the moment and it appears it cannot see the camera so no photo's! My Laendler socks are finished and before I have received the next lot of yarn.

Can the same be said at the end of April of my squares for the Mystery Blanket. I do hope so.

Happy Easter.
