blocking
I will be blocking tonight (or it might be in the early hours of tomorrow morning) wish me luck, i have a board and some pins and have read a tutorial, hmmmm what could go wrong…….
lace
I am almost finished my blossom shawl from mag knits. I decided on Wednesday that I wanted to wear it out to dinner on Saturday, so I have been knitting as fast as I can (not very) ever since. I now as of today only have one repeat left to go and then the 3 rows of garter and cast off. so it looks like it might be achievable. the only problems is that i think it makes DH cross as I have to focus to do lace and that doesn’t make me a very interesting companion.
i think i might stop knitting for the rest of the weekend after this is done, I don’t think it is very good for my posture….

I am knitter hear me click…
Well I think that I might have stepped over the line from:
someone who also knits
to
A Knitter!
For my birthday, My husband gave me a set of knitpicks needles and two of my friends also gave me needles, and a friend who is about to go overseas has offered to bring back yarn.
I think knitting may be now a part of my identity….

Photo Update
Well the trip away was good but all the sitting in the car put my neck out, which I think is going to hamper my knitting…
here are the sock photos:
the Koigu sock complete, I have to cast on the second one.
The sock I am calling the Lego sock cause that’s what the colours remind me of.

Visit
I had a very nice time in Canberra.
Here are some pictures:
This is the baby rug from my friend, I crocheted this, it was very quick.
made from yarn from spotlight, something acrylic that is machine washable.
.
This is a Jumper that I think I knitted last year, i put it away for this Friend as I put special buttons on it for her, but for the life of me I cant remember what pattern I used, I is made in 100% wool.
And lastly two pics I took from the plane, of Sydney and the clouds
Now back to the socks….
