Normally at this time of the year
I am frantically trying to finish knitting last minute presents. This year I decided to make things easier for
myself and buy presents! However I still
agreed to knit tea cosies for my friend who owns All of the Fun of the
Fair. They are now finished and posted
off to her. You may also remember that I
started knitting a Christmas jacket – somehow I think it will be for Christmas
next year!
When I was travelling around on
Tuesday I found the latest issue of Simply Knitting magazine. It still includes some last minute Christmas
present ideas and some Alan Dart festive toys to knit – but it is largely aimed
at projects to start at Christmas or in the New Year.
There is also a supplement – “How
to Knit Lace” – which contains 3 quite attractive patterns. I am not sure that I am going to knit any of
them – but I might. I have probably said
it before – but Simply Knitting magazine is a nice mix of simple, quick
patterns and those which will take longer and require more experience.
Before I get onto any new
projects – I have 2 more little coats to knit for babies. Today I bought some yellow yarn to knit for a
little girl called Penelope. It is James C Brett's Baby Marble.
I thought that the yellow
suggested Spring – and it will probably be Spring before I finish it! That was a joke – I will try to cast on later
today but I had better knit the 3-6 months size – just in case.
