SPARKDOVESEYES DAYS THRU THE KNITTING GLASS 04/23/2022

 

Hello, 

 

Autumn is coming and Winter is on it's way :)

This weekend is ANZAC day in New Zealand and Australia.

 

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

 

I have finished the Back of the Vincas and started on the front, a lovely pattern that resembles to me an embroidery sampler.

 

My sock continues to grow as well ...

That is my laptop cable over my foot. :) looks like it will fit .

I loved making the Kringle Sparkle yarn hat. 

 

It is another Berroco pattern called Viveca, lovely pattern that calls for k4 tbl then k4 tog to make a gathered texture.

Also finished the cowl in Chenille yarn from the Cowl girls pattern book. It is a mixed chocolate shade, sorry it doesn't show up well.

 

 

Still have plenty to make though I am taking a little time to get back into my walking and stretching, 

Wishing you a wonderful week with lots of joy, hope your Easter or celebrations went well. 

Hugs 

Chris
 

SPARKDOVESEYES DAYS THRU THE KNITTING GLASS 04/09/2022

 

Morning,

 

Ah the memories of Sparkpeople :)

 

I took a few weeks off from blogging, but now I am back.

Knitting continues on all fronts :)

The Cherries on top is getting two rows a day.

 

I have started the Vincas another Berroca pattern it is like an embroidery sampler, lots of different patterns.

 I have also started to knit socks, amazing to me as I have never tried, but with the correct needles and a lot of help from the Crazy Sock Lady book I am getting there.

 

 

Apart from a purl row on the knit side I am steaming ahead. Just waiting for a smaller circular to arrive to finish foot and toe. I always shied away from socks as too hard, I am thoroughly enjoying it.

 

I don't have a photo but I also started a hat, Berroco of course... the Viveca hat, another new pattern for me. 

I am knitting it in a Kringle Sparkle in colorway Green Mix, love the pattern, different shades of green and the sparkle :).

 

I am still wading through the medical tests, it is very wearying on me. More to come it seems. 

 

Hoping you are all enjoying the season as it changes in your area. We are getting small blades of green coming through the brown dry soil after some lovely rain.

 

Beauty the cow is soooo over dry food and is looking for the green grass to grow quicker :) she sends a friendly soft moo your way.

 

Enjoy each day and do something that lifts your heart :)

 

Hugs

Chris
