Clue 2 Complete....

I am really enjoying knitting this pattern, I love the design, the subtle use of beads and I love knitting with the Jaggerspun Zephyr and I especially like the colour seeing I dyed it myself. In the past when I have tried to dye things I'm usually less than happy with the results but I seem to be getting the knack of this..... It isn't quite a solid colour but is various tones of the apricot shade....

I downloaded the pattern on Friday morning, managed 10 rows throughout the afternoon, fully intending to do a further 10 Friday evening. I couldn't help myself I did 20, which left me with 20 to knit on Saturday.... I'd finished by teatime....

I have made myself a promise that the VLT shawl is for my weekends (Sunday & Monday) and then I will do the PLT mystery stole the rest of the week as time permits... should I have extra time then that is to be used for non-lace projects to use up my stash such as the yarn for a couple of felted bags, scarves, etc...

I cast on for Pippa Bag last night.... I decided that rather than knit two identical halves, I will knit it up in one piece then sew the bottom up. I bought the Kid Classic awhile back and as it was a discontinued colour 849 - Sandstone, it was cheaper. It's most definitely not my colour at all, but it was intended to be a first attempt at a felted bag so thought just in case it doesn't work I opted for buying the yarn at a reduced price..... needless to say when it is knitted I am going to dye it!!!

Am not sure when it will be ready to dye after last nights knitting as I was so bored with it after my lace knitting that I managed to do all sorts of little jobs I've been putting off...... I think I managed 4 rounds in 2 hours :(
