I finished the first one for my sister :) I am loving it - I hope she does to. I think she will.
Then I decided, well I should start on mine. However, there were a couple of problem. First, the yarn that i loved and had picked out had 2 verigated yarns in it and well, we all know that was not going to end well. Soooooo I went on a hunt for a third solid colour picked out the malabrigo sock colour Violetta Africana. Super excited - WAIT - can't use it first 2 colours were lace weight and the sock weight just would not have worked out. Back to the drawing board.
It would have been beautiful - it will be something else that's all.
This is what I ended up with - Madelinetosh Sport - I great replacement if you ask me.
Can't wait to have it knit up :) :) Here is my progress so far. I love it .......
Hope you're having as much fun knitting your's as I am knitting mine.
What else has been on my needles...........
Well there is the beautiful Sanibel shawl - it only takes 4 balls and it knit's up quickly and beautifully.
AND guess what has finally arrived - Nora Bellows "Noni Flowers" book. If you love making knitted and/or felted flowers you have to come check this book out. Wow - it's looks like a garden - minus the weeding and watering......
Well that's all for today.
Happy Knitting - see you soon.
