Yikes, frogging. But I get the clue so I won't stop till I'm back on track again.

Day 340

I'm fighting with this pattern. I don't see the clue where I have to increase for the underarm shaping and make short rows at the same time.. *ough*

Day 328

Swatching for a sweater. I will go for the blue.

Day 311

Think I forgot to show you my finished Pawkies. The yarn of Kate Davies feels so soft and is great to knit with.

Day 301

Picking up stitches for the thumb. The last part of the second mitt.

Day 294

I think I never ripped out a project so many times. 

The pattern suggested a 'long tail tubular cast on'. With help from you tube and this lady I finally made it.

Day 290

This lovely yarn is Buachaille by Kate Davies (click)

I am so happy that I got my hands on a membership of her club. 

The yarn is so beautiful. It is soft, the color and even the smell is perfect. 

I am going to knit one of her patterns: Pawkies (click)

Day 284

Two knitted finishes on my dressoir. I finished my grey cardigan today and on top is a sweater I finished weeks ago. Tomorrow I hope that my DD3 have time to take pictures of me modeling these knits for a blogpost with all details about the pattern and yarn. 

 Till so far a sneak peek of the cardigan. It's a selfie I took for my friends. 

Right now I'm sitting on the couch with nothing on hand. My quilt isn't basted yet and I have to think what my next knitting project will be. Or shall I crochet.. hmmm, I have also a cross-stitch project somewhere.. Well, maybe I'm going to watch a movie.

Day 242

My spindle.

Many years ago when I was 16 I bought it on a market.  It was demonstrated and it looks so fascinating to me.

When I came home I couldn't do it myself. Tho I never could part of this 'toy'. It moved with me to every place I lived. About a week ago a friend taught me how to use it. Now I'm hooked. 

Finally after almost 34 years I know how to spin on my spindle and I can tell you it is fascinating!
