All finished!

Not the most impressive knitted object ever, but not bad for my first project in a several of years methinks. I am rather pleased that I managed to get the stripes lined up correctly when I sewed the bits together.

Now I just have to decide on what to knit next. In the meantime I'm keeping in practice by knitting squares.

Oh, very pretty!

Thank you!

It wasn't the colour I originally had in mind (i was hoping for something a little more fuschia-ish) but the local shops didn't have a huge choice. I shall go further afield next time, methnks.

Well done!

A lady I know crochets squares - which she then makes up into variously sized blankets for the local dog pound. When the dogs are claimed or re-homed they can, if the owners wish, then take their blanket with them.

That's a good idea. Not sure my output will be quite that much, but it's something to bear in mind.

When Spot arrived from the CPS when he was a tiny kitten he had his own little square of carpet, which I'm sure made him feel more secure until he got used to us.

Oh, very pretty - you must have a real sense of achievement with that! Well, I would but then I can't knit for toffee!
Catwalk shot next?!?

Thanks!

Catwalk shot next?!?

Not unless they thoroughly reinforce it first! :-)

Very pretty. Clever Girl!

Thank you.

I suppose I really ought to make an effort to learn how to do Fair Isle type stuff, but all those ends to weave in are very daunting!

[link] [parent] [reply]

With Fair isle you don't need to weave the ends in. You can loop it across the back between the bits of colour, instead.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh I see. I think that might need a bit of practice too - I'm very intimidated by multicoloured knitting :-)

[link] [parent] [reply]

It does take practice but it beats weaving in ends!

Ooh, nice stripes. Knitting's not my thing, but this looks very well made, and 'tightly knit'. Kudos.

[link] [reply]

Thank you. I'm please that you think it's 'tightly knit' because knitting too loosely is one of my major problems with making stuff :-)

OOOoo.. very well done. I admire your tenacity and get-doned-ness. I'll mostly finish something then put it down for months on end only to pick it up and spend all of maybe an evening to actually finish it. You MUST provide a catwalk shot.
Also, there are a lot of webshops that sell wools and such at faboo prices. For posh stuff, my favourite is Stash/Celticove http://www.celticove.com/index.html Their sales (which they almost always have something in) are brilliant.

I am afeard for the lens of my camera :-)

I'll see if I can get Rob to take one later maybe ...

I admire your tenacity and get-doned-ness.

It's mostly that I like to have something to work on while I'm watching telly - I don't feel I've wasted the time then either. It's surprising how much you can get done in a couple of episodes of Jericho or Mutant X

Thanks for the link - I'll go and have a peek later :-)
