Knitting

Good morning all.
I woke up yesterday with a cricked right shoulder...gosh it's sore! Yesterday afternoon I settled down to make some finishers for some scarves I bought from Crafter's Companion a while ago only to discover some of the beads were missing! I have to say they were very helpful when I phoned and hopefully I'll be sent the missing bits fairly quickly. Did get some birthday cards made instead though.

Some knitting to share today....if you remember I bought loads of wool at the SECC in February this year to knit lots of scarves for Christmas presents. Well here's the first one...guess the rest will have to be saved for next Christmas!!

This one is a scarf necklace with a double twist knitted in Zip yarn. The colours are gorgeous and really sparkle although I can't get a decent photo. Now who do I give it to....or do I keep it for myself??? That is the question!

Knitting

Good morning all. Hopefully today will be warmer than yesterday!

No treatment needed at the dentist so it was a quick scale and polish and I was on my way home again, thank goodness. The school dentist instilled the fear of God in both me and my older brother when we were younger - she was called Miss Crute and we nicknamed her Crute the Brute!! She always said she'd run out of injections when we asked for one before she drilled our teeth until I got wise and exited the chair and said I'd come back when she'd got more in......she never ran out again!

I decided to make a start on the knitting yesterday, my priority being the Triangular shawl which is needed for a birthday in May. Using Starlight Revue yarn and size 12mm needles, it's garter stitch all the way. Not sure I'm enjoying it....give me 3 ply wool and a pattern any day of the week!

This is my progress thus far:

I think I have about 40 stitches at the moment and I have to get to 150 increasing one at each end as I go so about 50 odd rows still to knit and the tassels to add.....think I might manage that by May!! The yarn does have a lovely sparkle in it which I think you can just see in the photo.

I'll be back in the morning with my DT card for Christmas Challenges (with sketches). See you then.
