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!

Nearly there. Half a front to go which I should be able to get done this evening. Would like to get the neck done aswell. Need to look for buttons so I know whether I need to buy any at the week-end. I am hoping for another sunny week-end so I can get the winder out and the swift up for the sock club yarn. Need to get these done before the end of May. Socks are taking a back seat at the moment. April has been Bay month, May will be the month of the "Mystery Blanket". Happy knitting. X

All in a week-end!

I have not counted the number of hours knitting here but let's say I have surprised myself! Once I get going on stocking stitch there is no stopping me. I was sat in Caffe Nero yesterday knitting away and a lady said to me "I am addicted to knitting aswell but I don't bring mine out with me"! I always have knitting with me!

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

Stocking Stitch

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

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!

A Sock

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

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.

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

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!

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.

Moving....

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

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.
