Cheesybabe bought round some mohair that she needed winded into center pull balls yesterday. I think I will be tasting mohair for a while! But the yarn was beautiful and I love any excuse to play with yarn. She also had three skeins of yarn from Calana Crafts that she bought while at the WWKIP day event last week for me to wind so I got to play with more of the gorgeous stuff.
I have managed to get a few lace repeats of my February Lady Sweater done over the last few days and I love this project. I really really really hope it fits me when it's finished as it would be so nice to have made a garment that works for myself!
And the Teresa blanket is still plodding along. Still the love the way the colours knit up and it's the perfect pick up and knit in between stuff project. I have had a request for a pair of socks for someone from the sock yarn I bought last weekend so I think I will finally attempt a pair of Monkeys from Cookie A but not sure as yet.
On the audio front I finally have another audiobook on the go. Alas, due to circumstances outwith my control, it is not the next in the Matthew Shardlake Series, Dark Fire, but Eifelheim by Michael Flynn. Still, I am really enjoying it and look forward to reviewing it.
On the latest Doubleknit podcast, episode #22, Erin and Jessica talk about Jessicas trip to TNNA and it's another great episode. I really like this podcast as they not only talk about knitting but books and films and TV and the interaction between the two is fun and natural.
Hopefully, i'll have more pictures of knitting to post over the weekend as blog posts are boring without pictures :o)
