A crocheter, a new knitter and a cat enthusiast all in one.
My colourful blanket is finished! It’s exactly as I expected (well, maybe a little bigger, but that’s good!) and I absolutely loved knitting it. An easy, straightforward knit, with regular colour changes and bright, cheerful yarn. Can’t beat that! Plus now I have a new lap blanket for long winter months, when I get chilly sitting in front of my PC for hours.
This messy pile above is my sock collection – all pairs of socks and leg warmers that I’ve knitted except those that were made for someone else and one pair which felted in the laundry – even though the yarn was supposed to be machine washable! They don’t look to well because I don’t ever bother with blocking socks after washing, thankfully on the feet their looks improve a lot.
It happened: my first pair of socks is knitted! 🙂
I thought that socks were so complicated and that I wasn’t ready for them. But I decided to try and, with the guide of Ann Budd’s book ‘Getting started knitting socks’ I made it. It was much easier than I’d expected and I enjoyed knitting them so much!
