28°C – showers (it’s a Chinese laundry out there)

While I do have my ASJ as a world cup project, I needed something quick and mindless for the more involved matches and finished three more marketbags. Here’s the one I’ll keep for myself this time:

My knitniters will have first dibs on the other two. After that, if they’re still around, they’ll go up for sale at buntart.

Yesterday was hot (and veeery humid), but awesome

Even more so as we managed to hit the restaurant juuuust as the thunderstorm broke. And I bet Knit-Knackers didn’t mind a bit that we raided their yarn store after lunch. ;o)

Happy World Wide Knit in Public Day

We’ll be out knitting in Confederation Park for as long as the weather holds. Lotsa shade there, but don’t forget to bring something to drink. Check Ravelry for a rain location. Can’t wait to see you all out.

Knitting marketbags again

My LYS was nice enough to provide some charity yarn for this charity project. Here’s the one I finished today:

Road trip

Went on a stash enrichment excursion with the girls today, to Janie H. Knits in beautiful Perth. We reveled in yummy yarns and wonderful books, then went for lunch in a really nice bakery cum cafe and came away with huge piles of treasures and large dents in our wallets.  Good day.

I decided to frog my stash-buster wrap

It had languished long enough. I wasn’t really happy with the way it looked, and consequently other project caught my eye. And the more I looked at that big pile of odds and ends and single skeins, the more I thought what a great ASJ that would make. So this is my FIFA Soccer Championship project.

I slightly fudged the pattern. My idea is for a loose fitting jacket with the drape of a shawl. We’ll see how it goes.

Forgot to bring my knitting to knitnite today (Yeah, I know. Just … never mind, ok?) and consequently had to buy yarn to start sth new (the hardship). I think it’s going to be a shawl or stole. My own design, this time, which is a bit exciting. If I like it, I’ll write up the pattern for ravelry. We’ll see.
