Home from the wars.


Surgery went as well as it could have done. I was kept waiting a while and was glad of my knitting - I took the lace with me and got quite a bit done.

While recuperating, I've been doing more work on my socks and blocking pieces that have been sitting around for a while. This includes a clapotis scarf which you can see here. I made this from Cherry Tree Hill possum yarn that I got from Woolly Workshop. This yarn is very soft but is not regular stock. The pattern is adaptable to whatever yarn you have and I urge you to make it. It's got to be one of the best freebies ever from Knitty ( see link left ).
Another great freebie is the the Argosy series of wrap, scarf, shawl and blanket from In a Happy Camper (see link left ). Danni from group has made the wrap and it's a great bias pattern. Again, this is adaptable to any yarn. Art student Danni is going to Florence on a study trip soon; will she come back with yarn? It's a no - brainer!
I haven't tried the Argosy myself yet but it's a safe bet it will be on the needles soon.

Hi Helen. Glad to hear the surgery went well, speedy recovery to you. I'm currently wrestling with stacks upon stacks of music coursework, but'll try to email you sometime. Take care o'yourself. =)

PS. That hat you made me has been invaluable lately.
