* Jumper for Pete (in black, of course). Top-down and in the round, using a "sure-to-fit" type pattern that I now can't find the link for. Will update. Going pretty well - I'm about 5" down from the underarm now. * Top for myself, to <a href="http://www.chicknits.com/boat.html">this pattern</a>, but in [[Shadow Rib]]. It's starting off in navy cotton, but I'm intending to put some stripes in further up, of some of the Colinette offcuts Marna's donated me. |
* 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. |

* Another top for myself - have several more 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. * Probably a jumper or cardigan for myself out of some charcoaly slub cotton I got cheap from Texere. |
* 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. |

* Beaded necklaces for my mother & sister. * Cardigan for jess for her birthday - bought thick white cotton yarn and dyed it grey (took a couple of goes to get a decent colour!). I heavily adapted a pattern I found online - I'll put the pattern up here soon. * Scarf for myself from the skein of lovely green/purple/red Colinette Fandango yarn Marna gave me. Garter stitch (the yarn is so fuzzy that anything more complicated is a waste of time) on 12mm needles. edit_type='Normal edit' |
* Beaded necklaces for my mother & sister. edit_type='Minor tidying' |
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. The pattern (with pic) 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
- Hooded jumper from Knitty (I made mine in all black). Very fond of this - the first thing I'd knitted in years, & it fits & everything!
