=== Current projects === * My main current project is a surprise for someone, so I shan't mention it here till it's finished... * Also working on a scarf from the skein of lovely green/purple/red Colinette Fandango yarn Marna gave me. Using garter stitch, as the yarn is so fuzzy that doing anything more complicated is a waster of time. I'm knitting it on 12mm needles - largest I've used to date! - and it's proving trickier than you might think. * When I went home for Christmas I inherited a half-knit cardigan that my mother started on some time ago. <a href="http://the.earth.li/~juliet/images/crafts/mum_cardigan.jpg">The pattern (with pic)</a> is from a 1989 Womens' Weekly, so we assume it was around then that she last went anywhere near it. She suggested ripping it back & using the wool for something else, but as I don't wear wool myself (& wasn't desperately keen on the colour - light beige), I thought I'd make something for her. And since she likes the pattern & it's already started, I might as well finish it off. It is likely to take some time - it's in 4-ply, with 3.25mm needles, & a bobble pattern that's quite time-consuming. === Planned projects === * Jumper for Pete (in black, of course). I already have the yarn for this. * Top for myself - have several bits of yarn-stash that I'm thinking of making something from. Current favourite is the pink I got from the Secret Santa, with some shiny pinky Colinette offcuts courtesy of Marna. I've also got some nice blue cotton. * Jumper for Ben. * Mum has offered to pay for yarn so I can make my sister a version of the hooded jumper I made myself. === Finished projects === * <a href="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring03/PATTjanda.html">Hooded jumper</a> from Knitty (I made mine in all black). Very fond of this - the first thing I'd knitted in years, & it fits & everything! * Scarf for my Dad for Christmas - two shades of blue, in 2x2 rib. * Scarf for Ben for Christmas - black cotton chenille, with stripes of silver acrylic "mohair" & black eyelash knitted in with the chenille. Moss stitch (I like moss stitch). * Beaded necklaces for my mother & sister. |
