Hello hello hello, I know it's been far too long, where does the time go! My fellow knitter the lovely Sarah has given me a*virtual* kick up the bum to do some blogging, so here we go...... well first I'll need to read back where I got to last time, hold on a minute.........
Wow that was a few weeks ago, well I got my gemini wool and it is gorgeous! I've started the sagratino shawl, but I'm not really enjoying it if I'm honest :-/ for one thing I stupidly assumed the gemini wool would be made up of long runs of colour but it isn't, so the shawl will look different than anticipated but I can live with that. The pattern has a lot of errors in it so when you get towards the end of a motif you have to follow your nose rather than the pattern. It's just not as fun or going to look as good as I hoped, ho hum.
This is what the gemini wool looks like when knitted, pretty colours.
I also finished my first pair of socks since last time and I blocked them using home made sock blockers form a pair of wire coat hangers, they worked brilliantly! The socks are far too big but for a first pair I am pleased.
