Testing my first pattern to publish!

Posted By on January 4, 2014

Yep, one of you out there knows what this is, please don’t tell, even if you think you’ve guessed. I intend to publish this as my first ever published pattern!

So. I’ve designed, I’m knitting it up so I can put a nice picture of it with the pattern.. Go me

My two socks!

Posted By on December 25, 2013

So. I just finished the second sock.. They are as similar as I was going to get without counting rows.. But there we go.. Now I have 2 ends to sew and I could venture out in public…

They both fit great which is always a plus.

Hopefully Christmas dinner will be ready in about half hour.

Happy Christmas everyone!!!!

Sock deviation

Posted By on December 22, 2013

So, the moonstone blanket grows slowly, so a sock diversion was in order. Meet sock #1
Only thing that could have been better was the cast off, it needed to stretch a bite more, but, otherwise it’s a very nice sock

Well, it should have grown and I thought I didn’t do too bad this week, but, I confess, I can’t see much of a change from last week. It is beginning to blur a little in terms of where I was and where I am because it’s the same.

Well, it hasn’t grown as much as I would like this week, many reasons had to work yesterday, got a stinking cough that’s been driving me mad and made me tired and uncomfortable, but, it did grow. More this week 🙂

Moonstone blanket – design thoughts

Posted By on November 15, 2013

OK, so Ive mapped out the size, and while I need to chop out the two bottom corners so it fits round the posts on my bed, I need to work out what I want to do with the middle, as at the moment.. if I dont, you’ll see the problem..lizbedspread2

No, you arent imagining it, it does look like a migraine waiting to happen. So..

What to do? Well, I could do a big diamond in the middle, but, in some ways I think if it was too plain it would look wrong. So, what to do? I cant help but think a big diamond with some celtic knot in the middle.. what do you think?

A huge thank you to Woolstack

I would like to thank the Woolstack for being so ace.

Why?

Well, following the traumatic cable break, I ordered a replacement, and as a note to them as it was the last one in stock, without meaning it as any slight on them I told them the one I had bought less than a month back broke, so could they get some in stock if I was going to be this lucky… as my projects only going to get heavier… and.. Love them, they refunded me the cable.. so replaced it.. How cool??

I can honestly say they are ace..

Despite a bit of a scare yesterday when the cable snapped and a large bunch of stitches made a break for freedom, I’m glad to report reasonable progress, and ordering of replacement cable.

Had a op on my knee Thursday, it’s been really sore, knitting wasn’t really on the cards much for a couple of days. But here’s the latest pic.
