FO At Last

Hoorayyy - Evie is finished. I've just sewn her little flower on and she is all done. Doesn't she look lovely. Actually, she wasn't what you might call a challenging knit. She was done in Rowan 4ply soft - so was quite time consuming, but not difficult at all. I'm pleased with the end result and think her new owner will enjoy wearing her.

I am now about to start the finishing on Duel, since this is only a little one - I'm hoping it isn't going to take too long. Once that is done, I'll be well underway and ready to just about start another project !

Oh yes and over the weekend, I just managed to finish a sleeve of Rosy - I don't think anyone noticed ! Well I need her - look at this weather we are having - I need to put a jumper on and she's just the one !

I received a lovely package in the post this morning, it was the Noro Silk Garden I ordered from Kangaroo. I bought four balls all of different colours, unfortunately I had already wound two by the time I thought to get the camera out. The two I have wound are destined for a ribbed scarf for a friend of mines' birthday - he chose one of the colours himself and I chose another colour to go with it, I hope it looks alright. The last two balls are to do an exact replica scarf for me - I've been coverting one of these for ages and well, it was on special offer, how could I say no ?

Look at those gorgeous colours


I have sustained a knitting injury - I have a nasty cut on my right index finger, you know the point just where the yarn runs over - well it's not that serious, but it is annoying. I tried to take a picture of said wound, but I couldn't keep still enough - so you'll just have to imagine the horror ! Talking of horror my little Jacob touched a halgon light today in a shop and burnt his finger, it really hurt him, and he's got a blister - that's the first time he has burnt himself and he was not happy ! Off to do his tea and hopefully fit some more knitting in.
