Wot a productive weekend. As well as completing my Rowan exchange gift(s) (of which more later), I also managed to finish Aimee (below) and begin this:
It will be a cropped cardi. The yarn is (O joy) Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK from the John Lewis sale (half price! bargain!) I got it home and couldn’t put it down. Before I knew it, I was knitting maniacally back and forth, back and forth — clearly some mindless knit-purl-action was what was required after the fiddliness of all that kidsilk haze. It really is a dream to work with and to wear next to the skin. I imagine, for example, a balaclava made from this would be a peculiarly sensuous item. Perhaps there will be enough wool left over….
Also finally did something with that nice linen-mix offcut I’ve had knocking around — made a wee laundry bag for our handwashable items (to prevent shrinking disasters). Here it is in situ.
