I should have chosen another name for this blog... what about "the misadventures of an absent- minded knitter"?
First, as I said earlier, my Mystery project is almost completed (just adding the finishing touch), but SCRRREAM, I have run out of wool. Quick e-mail to get knitted who are sending it to me straight away. So I should think a photo should appear this week-end.
Secondly, I had taken a picture of my new project, but my husband forgot to bring home the thingy I need to transfer photos to my computer. Bother!!! So I'll talk about it instead...
As I have just joined Rowan International, they have sent me 2 balls of Kidsilk Haze in Pearl. Not a very exciting colour for me but the other shades didn't appeal to me either so I decided to go neutral. I have started to knit 
this. Yes I am branching out too...
I am knitting this scarf for Sylvia, the lovely lady who looks after my children once or twice a week when I work. I think it would make a lovely Christmas present. I know it is much too early and I don't normally plan that far ahead, but why not for once be organized? Because the colour is a bit dull, I am thinking of adding something to add a bit of sparkle to it to make it a little more special. Maybe a few beads on the cast on and off edges... Maybe a picot edging at the end with mother of pearl beads... Any more ideas from you would be welcome!
beads would look lovely. go for it! it will look fabo.
