Branching out is finished, beaded, washed and neatly folded, waiting to go in a box wrapped in tissue paper to be given to this special lady who looks after my children when I am working. Hope she will like it. No pictures yet as I am waiting for the camera to come back home with Mr Knitwise. So this week-end you will be able to see for yourselves.
I have started a new project that I have wanted to make for a long time. It involves beads (lots of them!) and I think it will be a long one (I am so slow...) so perhaps a few small projects will creep in from time to time.
It is Chicago from Rowan 37 again, same colours as in the magazine. I have started on a sleeve which I don't normally do but I wanted to know roughly how many beads I would need for the back ! The pattern is quite easy and Calmer is lovely to work with.
A picture of my work in progress will follow shortly with the photo of Branching out.
The weather has turned nasty again. Oh what a glorious summer we have this year! Tomorrow the children are doing a 6 miles sponsored walk for the school. I don't think I should worry about heatstroke, don't you?
Right, back to my needles...
can't wait to see the branching out scarf... dont' know where you're based but in london it's meant to be warmer tomorrow - 27/81 degrees. i know, believe it when i see it right?
