Ravelry here I come.... well sometime anyway. Still, too busy to look at it at the moment anyway, I here it is good for forgetting the time but I have too much study to do :-(

Finished socks for D.. only they are too small oops so they might be for someone else now. Started some new socks in Rowan cashcotton and it is sooo sooo soft it will be hard to give them to the intended.

Started a crochet throw too for my class. Not sure why I chose a throw when I really don't need anything else big to make, but there we go. It is going to be entirely red and black.

Right, better go. 6 people have joined the Ravelry queue while I have written this post!

Getting Hooked

Again I am falling behind with my blogging. KG (knitting guru) has been in hospital and I have been busy visiting and being a personal laundry/communication service. I'm glad she is home now and yesterday we had our first trip out in the wheel chair (only a temporary aid).

Last night KG and I started crochet classes. Since KG can already crochet she was making a really beautiful ipod cozy with some sock yarn while the rest of us were working on sample squares... well it is supposed to be a square. I seem to have an edge problem going on.
But it is really very fun and I can feel another addiction coming on. I am already thinking about things I can make and I can't even get a straight edge yet.

Knitting wise I am on another pair of handwarmers. Take 2 is in Jaegar merino and a lot smoother, also trying to make them a bit longer. The colour is great and doesn't really show in the photo.


Last weekend I went to the SECC and got this great crochet book. Also some new scissors and some silk fat quarters to use for bag linings. I met up with Fee for a coffee which was really nice. I'm not used to wandering around by myself at these things but actually really enjoyed a day to myself.
Sorry for the rubbish photos in the post, I am definitely getting lazy with blog pictures...
