Hello, weekend!
Starting with the excuses, I didn’t mean to be such a crap blogger. Something’s amiss at the moment and my self-esteem is at absolute zero, so I didn’t feel like inflicting myself on anyone. I don’t know where it came from (and it hasn’t entirely left yet). My guess is that it’s work – not that I’m too busy, just that I’m working in a gloomy place with far too much bullying going on. In any case, it totally sucks. Advice welcome.
I’m coming over all crafty at the minute. On the needles is a black Phildar bolero with three-quarter sleeves, to use up a bad purchase of Rowan R2 Fuzzi Felt. It was a bargain (sound familiar?) at 7 balls for £3.50 but doesn’t have a recommended gauge/needle size… fun. Neither does it like to be frogged and reknitted. The make-up is nylon, merino, acrylic, and alpaca – is it just me, or does this sound like all the bits they swept up from the floor whilst they were making everything else?
Also on the go are some pale blue-green Hedera socks in Rowan 4-ply. The pattern can be found here at Knitty. Photos to follow when they begin to look slightly more like wearable items…
In other news since last time:
1. Called in at the China Design Now exhibition at Liberty’s. Not thrilled, apart from the photography by Michael Wolf.
2. A visit to Mother Meera . Regardless of religious/spiritual beliefs, this was a lovely, peaceful experience. Seriously recommended.
3. I learnt how to do this.
