Curly Cable: ENCHANTED

http://curlycable.blogspot.com/2008/05/enchanted.html

Saturday, 3 May 2008. Over the last few weeks I seemed to have lost a chunk of the knitting bug, which is the reason for this poor neglected blog. Not lost completely, so I am not over worried and I'm not about to do anything silly like put the stash on ebay. All is well this week though, and good news is that I have the knitting bug back, thanks very much to the arrival of this gorgeous new pattern book Nectar by Kim Hargreaves. In the lovely Rowan Calmer. Socks which was the third STR. Kit from last ye...

Saturday, 23 February 2008. For my first F.O of 2008, Here's the completed pair of socks that I have making for DB over the last couple of months. Yarn: Trekking XXL by Zitron. Needles 2.5mm DPN. The heel is eye of the partridge and is the first time I have ever done this, I really like the effect this stitch makes, Sorry the photo doesn't show it very well, but you know how difficult dark yarn can be to photograph at times. Talking of F'Os last post I mentioned that I'd finally finished Beth,. I have re...

Curly Cable: June 2008

Saturday, 7 June 2008. Last month I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous prize from the fabulous Queen of the Froggers. The prize contained some really gorgeous skeins of hand-carded mix of Alpaca, Merino wool, Mohair and Tencel, that Lin. Had spun, the skeins are so pretty and soft my photos do not really give the yarn the justice they deserve. I'm looking forward to making something with this and thought maybe a neck scarf would be rather nice, (helps to cover a wrinkly neck too, lol). Talking of STR,...

Curly Cable: November 2007

Monday, 12 November 2007. I did have good intentions. Of having a FO. For this post, but alas, once again, it is just not meant to be. Knitting time has been reduced for some reason, general life and work, just seem to get in the way. And since these were the only things different to normal I had used, did I start to wonder and since throwing the wretched things away, I have been fine since. Live and learn eh! Despite not having any FO's. The weird shape will disappear. Mohair in the past, sometimes for ...
