I haven’t written a blog post for ages. I have done some knitting and I kept meaning to write about it but I seem to have lost my enthusiasm! I am currently working on 2 projects. I am working on a throw which I am making up as I go along – so it is not a very quick project. This has meant that some days when I was very tired after work – I did not have the energy or inspiration to work on it at all.
A week or so ago – I ordered the latest 2 Noro magazines from Laughing Hens. I often want to knit several of the garments in them. In the most recent one there is a cowl which is like a shawl – which can be knitted using various different kinds of Noro yarn. I decided to make one – as a really easy project to use up some of the Silk Garden yarn that I had had for years. I have got 6 balls and the pattern only needs 4. I will use more because I like to match the colour changes so that there is not a clear stripe between one ball and the next. This means I often unravel a ball until I get to the bit that I want.
I think this project is going quite well. I hope it turns out OK and that I want to wear it. Of the 4 patterns I chose the one which drapes the best. I am on my third ball at the moment – so I should be over half way through and if I get on with it – it should be finished in the next day or so.
