I finished a project a couple of weeks ago (I can't reveal photos yet) and started the Pink Lemon Twist Mystery Stole 3 and completed clue 2 so I had nothing so to speak on the needles for week day knitting after finishing the current clue. I cast on the Pippa bag as mentioned in the previous post..... that was a Sunday night.
The bag just kept glaring at me (OK all of 5 rounds of it) everytime I sat down to knit I was too tired or jobs needed doing so needless to say I did absolutely no knting at all last week.
I was all poised to start clue 3 on Friday when it came out but a severe thick head preventing me from starting so in the end I finished off my first sock of the pair of my "Der Blaue Mond" socks from the Opal Hundertwasser range.... huge repeat!!!!
So Saturday whilst in the shop (I have a pair of socks on the go in the shop for when I'm working and a pair in the house for other times) I decided I could get the second sock of the Opal Neon pair finished (I like to call them Flash Gordon for obvious reasons), they took a little longer than expected to finish but I did finish them Saturday evening....
These are for a friend's birthday at the end of August so I am in plenty of time with them :)
This then took me to Sunday & Monday (my weekend) which was spent doing the VLT stole, yesterday did see some progress made which after Sunday's pathetic 24 rows was a relief. So tonight I am going to start clue 3 of the PLT Mystery stole.........
What happened to the bag I hear you say? I frogged it, for something which was meant to be a fill in between lace projects, it actually stopped me knitting and as time is precious why knit something I'm not enjoying and that actually stops me knitting other things too......
Oh yes I did start something else as well yesterday, photo tomorrow.... ;)
