from my Noro fest.
York is progressing well - one of the sleeves is finished and I have sewn in to the back and front. The second sleeve is knitted up to the armhole shaping - it shouldn't take me long to finish that and sew it to the main body pieces. I can then go buy a zip to finish it off - hooray.
Last night I had a sudden desire to knit something different.
I knitted this
.
Scarf
A scarf using a strand each of Colinette Point 5 and Enigma both in colourway fire.
Still a little way to go and although I haven't been timing my knitting I don't think this has taken much more than an hour to knit. I cast on 20 stitches on size 10mm and did plain garter stitch.
This has spurred me on to knit some scarves as christmas presents. I shall be doing the planning this week-end in terms of colours and yarns - criteria at present is reasonably big needles so the scarves grow quickly!
Today I have been on a rail trip. I went to Torquay to visit one of my customers. The route planner on the AA website said a 166.4 miles one way which means 332.8 miles round trip. My knee is not quite up to driving that far just yet so I decided to take the train journey and what a lovely ride it was. A good part of the journey took us along the coastline of Devon. The sun was shining - it was great - you would never have thought we were in to November. I did some Bank work on the train but I also got to knit some of the 3 hour journey there and back. In fact I knitted 113 rows of Noro Kocharan - each row has 48 stitches and the pattern is garter stitch rib.
Well
Sunshine
At least this is what the weather forecast tells me for the week-end which means my Kocharan may make it out to the patio table so you get a peak of my next "Noro knit"!
Happy Knitting.....
