Adventures in lace knitting
Well here it is my latest finish and it’s actually knitting! It seems knitting projects are things I rarely seem to finish, often because of mistakes that I just can’t face fixing – usually because I have no idea how and the only thing that comes to mind is to rip it all out and start again- Now this project is my no means error free but they are mistakes that I have decided I can live with and shall just leave it at that.
I started this back in January of 2008 after spending my Christmas day 2007 balling up the hank of Knittery royal velvet slim sock I had just gotten.
The yarn was wonderful and is a really beautiful colour, pity a move to the US meant the Knittery has closed down with no sign of starting up again any time soon from the states.
Thanks to Morris and Sons in town having a sale when I walked in there yesterday to get blocking pins I actually came away with a set of blocking wires and pins. This is my first time blocking anything and I learnt a lot.. and will make sure the base I pin to next time is more slid. The scarf probably could of done being blocked larger to make the pattern stand out more but all in all I am really happy with it and can’t wait to wear it the next time winter rolls around.
