Progress of sorts....

I haven't really done much of anything recently, I just feel weary and it seems to have taken all my time to get through everyday stuff... on the lace front I still haven't tackled the border on the VLT stole and this is as far as I have got with the Scarf with No 20 edging from VLT which is supposedly for SIL's birthday on the 8th October.... it may become her Christmas present yet!!!!

It's Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in colourway Tide Pool Heather and I am working on 3.75mm needles still a little big in my estimation so you can imagine what I thought when I tried it on 4.5mm first!!! I've seen other people work with a smilar weight yarn on 4.5mm needles and it looks fine, mine just looked awful and I've a pretty even knitter on straights......

On the non-lace knitting front my first socks are progressing well and should be finished reasonably soon, I hope.... the first is Opal's Hunderwasser "Steamers in Ultramarine III" and is a size 10 for a friend's daughter....

The 2nd pair is Opal Prisme for a Christmas gift which have to be finished for the beginning of October as she's off to Spain for Christmas, but at least it's only a sixe 4!!!!

Despite not being a popular pattern in the UK and a very unpopular colour, everyone who's seen me knit these thinks they're wonderful!!!!
