Secret of the Stole ii - Hint 1 finished

I managed to finsh hint 1 of the KAL at 11pm tonight, just in time for the new hint tommorow.

This is only my second lace KAL, I never managed to keep up with the Mystery Shawl 3 - so I am really pleased.

I am using Lane Borgosesia Cashwool in Nutmeg with size 3.75 addi lace needles.

The yarn is sooo nice to work with and even though it is very fine, it feels like it will be warm.

Monogamous - Who me ?

A disc decided to slip in my back last week, so I am house-bound at the moment. You would think that I would beable to do loads of knitting - but noooo. Every time I get comfy and try to knit I need to move again.

Never mind it is on the mend and it has given me lots of time to catch up with my podcasts and to drool over pictures of other peoples knitting.

I've come to the conclusion that I am not a one project girl, I need choice. So instead of doing just one big project i've chosen a few slighlty less ambitious ones.

Here's the line up:


1. Gecko socks - up to the heel on the second one.

2. Iris - from Rowan magazine 35 in Calmer

3. Secret of the Stole II

4. Lana Grossa Meetings socks in pink colour way

Never let it be said that I might be bored.

I have orderd a new camera, that should come in the next few days so I should beable to post pictures again yipeeeee.

Happy New Year

Have been full of a nasty virus, not even felt like knitting much.

So I did the next best thing and counted all my sock yarn last night - a dirty job, but somebody had to do it!




31 balls of yarn




Am sure i didn't but all that - does sock yarn breed?


To start the new year off right I've joined Knit From Your Stash 2008


My goal is to knit up ALL the yarn in my stash, alternating a plain knit with a pattern knit.





Wish me luck
