I worked out where i was going wrong with the Centuria hat, i was missing the K1, M1 at the beginning of the W&T row which was making the W&T be in the wrong place - at one point i had 5 wraps on the same stitch! DOH!
I worked it out though and once i got going there was no stopping me! One hat knitted in two evenings, luvvly jubbly!
Photos to follow, i need a model ;o)
Last night i knit a fingerless mitt, just a basic 2x2 rib done int he round for 3" then flat for 10 rows for the thumb hole then back int he round for another 3". The idea is that they can be worn on either hand and either way up so you can pull them on in a hurry ;o)
They'll be a suprirse pressie for someone, i'm now worrying that they are too basic and i should make her something a bit more fancy, maybe with a couple of cables at the cuff and fingers...
The problem is, once i start thinking like that i end up sitting at the computer looking for the "right" pattern for a couple of hours, then i get sucked into Ravelry even further when i go off and read notes, forum posts, blog posts... so, all that knitting time gets wasted! I think i will stick with what i've already got, i can get the second one finished today and they can go in the post tomorrow ;o)
This evening is nephews Nativity play - i've been every year to either his or his big sister's play and i am so looking forward to it. I have knitting ready to take, i have money for a photo and i have tissues ready cos something about children singing makes me cry!
I've spotted this on a few blogs so i thought i'd give it a go, i'm surprised by the result actually, i'd never have thought of myself as a blue person :o?
