Hanne, new camera, new projects and other bits of being busy
I have a new camera, and because things are so hectic at work, I haven't had much time to play with it. Which means my blogging has been more erratic of late. But I have been taking better photos and I have been knitting. In fact without my knitting I don't think I would been getting through the madness that is my job right now. It's mad in a good way, but not sustainable at this pace for long. Enough with the moaning.
The joy that is spring is here.
And I have knitting to show you.
Jo - this one's for you. I finished my Hanne (by Lia Moya from Spring 2009 edition of Knitty) in not much time at all..... She is blocking right now, so I can't show you a modelled shot, but here's a little something to whet your appetite.
I really enjoyed knitting this waistcoat pattern. It might seem that acres of garter stripes would drive one nuts - and indeed they normally would - but mindless zen knitting is what I need right now, and this project fulfilled that brief perfectly.
More pics tomorrow, when Tallulah will model willingly.
Since stretching this out in the spare room to dry, I have been working on my Citronesque Socks, based on the Citron shawl I made recently. And tonight, because I will be meeting knitters in a pub on Tuesday night, I cast on another zen project in Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, in a gorgeous rich dark brown, Nicole by Azize Sterling. A big stocking stitch rectangle should be just the thing, over a pint.
Details of all of these projects for knit geeks are available at the premier social knitworking place to go - Ravelry. Non knitting readers should check Ravelry out. It is everything for a community of practice you could ever want. And more.
