I think I must have had another late stint with the yarn and needles. All of a sudden I nearly have a sock!
Lovely and soft to knit and the colours are delightful.
This is the fourth set of yarn - Fandango, Irish Jig, Christmas Conga and Laendler. There is a theme - dance's. I would never have guessed. Just 2 more lots of yarn to go from the club.
Postie came today with my book from Kim - and lovely it is too!
Happy Knitting.

which means longer lighter evenings.
The Barista's at Caffe Nero remembered to put their clocks forward after all I have a sock to finish. I was able to get going on Laendler.
So I need to knit more - soonish and faster. April will be here which brings a new set of blanket squares (they arrived yesterday) and a new lot of sock yarn from get Knitted (usually arrives the second week of the month).
I have decided that once the Get Knitted sock club has come to an end I will draw up my own plan for my socks from stash. I vaguely know what the plan will be so stay tuned.
Dilemma will be if Get Knitted do another club - NO.
Kim's new book Breeze was launched last Thursday. I am kind of hoping the postie will bring my copy in the morning.
Happy Knitting.

and a complete pair of socks.
As I mentioned before I am keeping socks for my "portable" project. I decided half an hour in the garden this afternoon was allowed to finish these! So if I get the chance tomorrow I shall be casting on the "Laendler" socks, whether they get finished this month will remain to be seen.
In case you were wondering if there is any knitting going on at the moment apart from socks I am working on my Mystery Blanket 2009 squares as I so want to keep up this year. I can't believe how quickly the months are flying by. I haven't taken any photos of my squares yet as I am undecided whether to show the squares as I go along or just wait until the "Grand Blanket" is all sewn up and show it off in all its glory.
Will we have a new book from Kim this week?
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. Happy Knitting.

A late stint with the yarn and needles last night and suddenly
I have turned the heel. I am not sure there will be another run this evening but you never know!
Suddenly casting on for the second pair of socks this week-end seems a little more likely.
Happy Knitting.

Christmas Conga
It must have grown a little as I have definitely been knitting it. I don't seem to have had very much free time of late so I have still to move on to the latest Get Knitted Sock Club yarn although I hope to do so by next week-end.
The blanket is almost back together after the dear little cow and pig upset the show! I am enjoying, or at least I was, using my KnitPro needles I purchased to do the edging. Would you believe I didn't have 2 x 3mm 100cm needles which is what Debbie says to use to do the edging. Still it was a good excuse to visit Get Knitted and order a couple of pairs to try.
I love Kim Hargreaves patterns but I have resisted the whole week-end purchasing any of these. Great idea to have the patterns as downloads. Kim has a new book coming out at the end of the month and there is sure to be something in there I will want to knit so...........I guess I had better get those needles clicking!
Happy Knitting

Well I would have had a finished Mystery Blanket to show had the Pig and Cow not decided to lay upside down. Yep I sewed the 2 strips with these darlings on in the wrong way up so after plucking up courage to sew the blanket up I have had to pluck up courage to undo my lovely mattress stitch.
Oh if only for a straightforward stress free life.....not....at the moment!
Onwards and upwards....
Meanwhile my Christmas Conga socks continue to grow.
I would still like to finish 2 pairs of socks this month but let's see how it goes.
Happy Knitting.
