Well I have had a very busy week but hopefully I shall be here regularly again.
Despite everything else I have found time to knit and my biggest achievement is finishing Birch and I have to say I love it. It is so soft and I am really pleased how it has turned out. I have not blocked it as I have learnt from my good friend Sharon that you need rather a large space to do so - will I or won't I?
The Texture of Birch
So having finished the Birch knit along I can move on to my next knit along project - Elfin
Elfin
I am knitting Elfin in dark navy and so far have done 14cm of the back. This is the first time of knitting with felted tweed and I do like it, it seems to knit up quickly. I am sure when it comes to the frill and 300+ stitches in kid silk haze completion of Elfin will slow down.
Powder Puff Scarf
Following my workshop with Kaffe Fassett I have gathered all my odd balls of kid silk haze and have cast on Powder Puff scarf in my own colour scheme. It is knitted double strand throughout and is beautiful and soft - I am looking forward to wearing it. Depending on how much yarn I have left I may do a stripey scarf too.
I must not forget Glee. I am on to the sleeves now so that is progressing well.
I like yourpowder puff scarf! - brilliant. I don't think I have enough to knit one, have 3 balls of turquoise (in case I want to knit Birch - unlikely - one of beige and one of mauve - not a good colour combindation......I think a stripey one would look good too.
Welcome back Anna!
Despite being busy you are still amazingly productive on the knitting front. I'm looking forward to your progress reports
Wow, Birch is lovely, and not a mistake to be seen, and a fab color too! HA! Felted Tweed knits up quickly? Are you kidding, isn't it on 3.5mm needles or something?
Just sign me,
