Stitchmarkers part deux!
These are from Elspeth and they are such a pretty colour, the camera does them no justice! They are just the right size i think for shawl knitting, they aren't too heavy and they are nicely and round so they won't get tangled up in all that lovely lace :o)
I shall go and find a nice spot in the garden to take a piccie when the sun makes one of it's rare appearances today. It can't make it's mind up out there, it's really warm but cloudy, then it's cool and cloudy and then all of a sudden the sun will burst out and it's so bright you go blind! I popped out to the doctor's and thought it was quite cool so i flung on a shruggy-cardy thing which is really thin and i was sweltering! Still i got 4 rounds done on the Sassy socks while i was waiting so that's good, and there's a fair chance that i'll actually finish them before the end of the month too *lol*
In Can 'o Peas news: The 15th repeat is DONEDONEDOOOONE! *YAY* \o/ \o/ <~~~ me dancing *lol* I have 20g of variegated yarn left and my mini-skein of nearly-solid green, the edge pattern is another 8 rows so theoretically i have enough of the variegated as the last repeat took 10g and was also 8 rows. I'm putting in a lifeline anyway, just in case anything goes wrong with the edging but to be perfectly honest the rest of the shawl has gone so well that i doubt there will be. I've got the hang of reading a chart too which is good and is something i wanted to do and i picked up a magnetic board from my LYS the other day too. It's only a smallish one, not A4 like i wanted but it was only £3 so i shan't complain :o)
Right then, onwards and upwards!
