It's been a while since I last posted, I have been going throug a bit of an off spell. Every time i've cast on or got down to knitting - it's gone wrong. For some reason i've just not been able to concentrate.
I have managed to finish the Gekko socks for mum - but they did go wrong. The first sock - fine, the second I somehow managed to totally do the heel wrong and then go on to skew the toe!!! Couldn't do it again if I tried.
Here they are, fixed:
Must admit to not enjoy knitting Opal yarn, it feels hard to me. They were for mum so at least I don't have to wear them.
Anyway I have realised that I have been knitting with bland / dark colours (kind of matching my mood at the time) and that this has not helped my cause. So I have put all other projects aside, even the Secret of the Stole ii and have cast on two new brighter items. Both are by the fabulous Elizabeth Zimmerman (EZ).
- A Baby Surprise Jacket
- A Pi Shawl, which has been on my wish list for ages. I am going to use the yarn below because it is just shouting "use me, use me".
Happy knitting !
