Apologies for the lack of posting, but I have been waylaid by my iPod!
It has changed my music habits. Now I find myself taking the bus more because I want to listen to whatever I've uploaded to my iPod the night before.
Which brings me to another point - I don't think I am even halfway through loading the tunes that I want on my iPod. Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day, as they say!
Still ploughing through the navy sweater. Nearly finished sleeve 2, but I have to re-do sleeve 1 because I mis-read the pattern instructions. I have to re-cast on and decrease for 10 rows.
I've also switched back to my trusty Addi Turbos because I honestly believe that they are faster and when you are halfway through a sleeve of stocking stitch (with an increase on every sixth row) you need all the speed tools you can get your hands on.
As the Denise kit doesn't have small needles, I've splashed out on a couple of small Addi Turbos on eBay. Just so that I can finish the front as quickly as possible - promise!
I am desperately trying to hold off buying new yarn until the Knitting and Stitching Show hits Ally Pally in October. The main purpose of my visit will be to buy chunky cream yarn for my poncho. My resolve weakened at John Lewis this week and I bought a couple of balls of black Jaeger fur for my Rockstar scarf. That combined with the green/blue Koigu is gonna be a beauty.
