Is it really the 29th!? Lucky I've given up on most of that Christmas list, or I'd be so stressed!
Here's a fun thing about knitting socks on two circulars... the ability to try on as you go.
Look, yellow!
Yellow cotton... hey... I hate knitting with cotton! How did cotton get into the basket when I only went in to get some 6mm and 5.5mm circulars?
Stupid soft cotton. I needed some yellow, because Someone is knitting yellow socks and I'm in a yellow mood. And then I thought, "get some green and make Byron a little Aussie Scarf". And then I saw this beautiful Bamboozle, with a swatch done. It's red and pink and orange in a way that makes me think of raspberries, and I immediately thought it would be fun to make Byron's friend, Zara, a little singlet top...I picked "Katja" from Ravelry, though I think I'm going to need to buy a bit more.
When will I start my Viv?
Check out these keen little pre-knitters. Even Jasmine grabs my wool all the time. Yesterday she managed to grab it with her toes. Hehe!
P.S. You're such a bad influence on me, Tara, that when I saw "Twilight" in the shops tonight, I bought it immediately. I don't think I even read the back cover first!
LOL!! I've enabled you into yellow cotton AND Twilight? I RULE!!!
ReplyDeleteI dunno about the cotton, but I take FULL responsibility for the book. I'm LOVING them (I'm on book 3 already - insert sheepish grin here), I hope you do too!
'Love the socks!! That's why I knit using Magic Loop - I need to try the socks on as a go or else they just don't fit right.
ReplyDeleteYou bought Twilight? You'll be addicted in no time!!
Love the socks and the cute preknitters. They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love knitting two socks on two needles, but still love double pointed needles too.

I met three women in a shop the other day, discussing the books. I said to them, "I've just finished Twilight, and it was excellent" and talked them into getting it Ü
