I always allow myself a new project at Xmas and this is it. I am using Touch Yarns 2 ply merino laceweight which I got from Ally Pally. It's a beautiful colour and I was waiting for a pattern worthy of it.The pattern is quite challenging for me in that I can't knit it from memory without following the chart and I don't like charts! Still, I feel that it's worth the effort and I'm looking forward to the result. I love that feeling of knitting a rag - like object and then transforming it into some lovely lace after blocking.
Meanwhile sock 1 of the pair is finished and the other started. This is my mindless TV watching knitting.
I've taken the opportunity of the holiday to review the contents of some of the magazines and books I've brought over the past year. There are lots of possibilities for future projects but I'm sure I will be repeating some of my old favourites too such as the Clapotis scarf and the Baby Surprise jacket. That's apart from working on some of my own new designs!
