These are going to be my last finished project for this summer, the next socks are already on the needles, but in recognition of the weather getting colder they’re not lacy!
The pattern was Kaibashira Lace socks, knitted in Bonny (75% super wash wool and 25% nylon) from The Yarn Yard, this colourway was for May’s sock . . . → Read More: For the final time.. Read more »

I cast off the first of my Kaibashira lace socks last night, and immediately cast on the second. I really love this pattern it knits up so very quickly and I can do it n pattern repeat chunks and then make myself go and do the things that you need to do!

I’ve already done the pretty . . . → Read More: 1 down, 1 to go. Read more »

Kaibashira lace socks

Remember these? I finally ordered the replacement needles so have picked these back up again. I took them to school with me yesterday as I knew I’d have a quiet day while there are no A-level student in. Looks like it was a good call, I’ve already turned the heel and done the gusset.

I’ve just got back from a week in Pembrokeshire and finished my Ravelympics wrap on the Friday just before we came home, so I’ve just squeezed in under the deadline!

Ravelympics wrap

By hilltopkatie, on August 15th, 2008%

I’m making good progress on my Ravelympics wrap, though have actually had a yarn crisis this time. The pattern called for 2 balls of kidsilk haze which you knit held doubled and the directions were knit until you get to desired length or run out of yarn. Well I reckon I’m half way through, and the . . . → Read More: Ravelympics wrap Read more »

I’ve just got back from a week at Guide camp where I was doing the climbing instruction all week. I of course took my knitting but had so much fun making new friends and meeting new people that I really didn’t get much done!

My poor lace has been neglected lately. I’m also doing the Tour de France knitalong and as that’ time limited and I started late I’ve been focusing on my project for that.

I leave for Ireland tomorrow morning! I’m going horse riding for week, the shawl will be staying safely at home as I have to carry everything for a week in saddle bags.
