Good morning,
It is raining here, the lovely pitter patter of the drops hitting the colorbond roof. I awoke to a misty grey morning, the valley shrouded in cloud. Miss Beauty is already sitting down from finding fresh green grass to eat, her kangaroo companions have just left after spending some time with her. The Winter pond is slowly filling so she wont need to climb the hill soon.
I do apologize for not posting each week, sometimes there is just nothing to report :).
But not today, I have FO's and Wips, yay.
I finished the yellow top and then redid the sleeves,
I added the collar to the pattern it worked out lovely and have worn it too.
Hubby's socks are on the needles, he wanted long ones for his work boots, so I am using a wool/nylon yarn like my ones for him. I ordered some more skeins as he will want a few pairs and got a lovely pink yarn for some more for me. Shorties with a lacy band at the top.
Front...
Back with heel flap and gusset, working down to toes. We like to wear thongs around the house so they need to have a longer foot so we can fit the 'bar' of the thongs between our toes.
Also as if i had nothing to knit ... as if... I started a hand warmer last night !!
I have also gone back to my Chanel Cardigan as it has languished for a year whilst I knit other things. I finished both fronts and am working on sleeve one.
This gives you an idea of the colors, it is a 'false' cable done by twisting a stitch as you go along. It is a baby yarn and is 'saliva' resistant which I find hilarious especially as I am aging.
So all my other wips are calling to me as well, socks must come first and I really need to stop casting on things that leap out at me to give to people.
I made a cable headband/cowl and gave it to a lovely lady :)
It was made with alpaca yarn soo soft.
Well lovely people thanks for stopping by, so much going on in the world, thinking of you and hoping you find a quiet place to reflect and time to enjoy what you love to do.
If your road is tough at the moment, sending hugs and quiet times to rest in.

Thanks Barb, Glad I made you smile :) Chris
DeleteNostalgia for Spark is suffered by many.
DeleteHappy Father's Day to your loved ones. Happy Sunday!
Thanks for your comments :) Chris
DeleteHappy Father's Day to the fathers in your life. I, too, loved the bit about "saliva resistant" yarn... and yes, Spark nostalgia is strong in many of us. Can you believe it's already been a year since they announced their "transition"? Time flies.
ReplyDeleteYes we all miss SP, so glad though we do have some contact:)
