Knitting and streaming TV
Pin's scarf is complete! This is a
really soft and comfy scarf and I hope it'll keep Pin warm and
happy on her trip to very cold winter Berlin next week. This took
me a little over 2 weeks to complete, usually have less time during
the week to knit so majority of the knitting is done over the
weekend. I've discovered knitting in bed while watching streaming
TV on the computer and realising some how miraculously after every
episode I've made a lot of progress! Now there is no turning back
and knitting is never the same again. I can no longer just sit and
knit - unless it is a complicated pattern and it requires more of
my attention.
This is a free pattern by Ann Budd from Knitting Daily is
actually a very easy project despite looking complicated. It's all
just only knitting and purling - no knit 2 together or slip stitching or yarn over. The perfect project for any newbie
knitter who wants to knit something a little more challenging. The
yarn I've used for this project is Sublime Yarns
Angora Merino in 45 Chili. Because of the angora
content of the yarn, after a few days a layer of fine pinkness
formed over my white quilt. And so when sleeping I sometimes get
angora tickles on my nose. Needless to say there was many micro
pink rolled up fluff trailed me everywhere leading people to think
I have a pink dog, or something.
Next project is Angie's scarf for
Shanghai and I am going to be using yet another basket-weave/
checkerboard pattern by Laurie
Perry.
