I’m a little late with this update as I finished page 10 of Mini Lost In You last week. I’m so late that I’ve very nearly finished page 11 as well. So here’s the late picture. I’m onto partial pages now, they’re about half the regular page length but I’m splitting my time a lot with getting some knitting done. I’ve nearly finished a sock as well, I’ve been very productive recently....
I didn’t think it would take long to finish page 9 on Mini Lost In You but I didn’t expect it co be quite so quick. Well that’s what lots of blocks of colour can do for you. I did my trick of breaking up the blocks of white with getting some sock rows knitted. I had to start a new pair to do this but it was worth it. It interrupted the non-thinking stitching and let me make good progress on my socks (I’m almost at...
It’s been another of those busy weeks, lots of time out of the house and away from the sewing. I’ve been filling the odd hour gaps with knitting as well especially when there’s too little time to get all of the sewing bits and pieces out. I’ll do another knitting update soon as my stole is growing nicely but there’s still a long way to go on that. I’ve also finished putting together my first patchwork...
Computer Catastrophes has been back on the frame for a page, it felt like a slow page I’m not entirely sure why probably the patches of confetti on those glass tubes and parts of the dragon. Yes I finally got to stitch some of the dragon, just his back but it’s nice to know that the next page I’ll be working on his face. He looked a little like I did this week, my PC had a blue screen and the hard drive died. Luckily I...
Yet another cold meant that the whole Easter weekend was spent indoors feeling sorry for myself and stitching. I had wanted to get the page finished in March but it was only a day after that and I would have made it but for the London trip. I got lots of chocolate and yarn in London so it was still worth it. But despite suffering from a constantly running nose and lack of sleep I managed to finish page 8 of Mini Lost In You. Earlier than I...
Another shawl finish to share with you today. I wasn’t expecting to get it done so quickly as Thursday evenings are the only time that I reserve for knitting but I did grab an extra day last Friday before my trip to London. Even so that still works out as four evenings of knitting this shawl. I’m impressed. The pattern is called Dare to Dream by BooKnits and I got it as a download from Ravelry. I have the In Love collection...
