The face of the earth
Monday, February 25th, 2008I am still on it. Honest.
Not entirely sure what happened there, other than that of work, knitting, reading and blogging, the latter always seems to be the first thing to slip. Er. Sorry about that. Must Do Better.
Since I last wrote, I’ve turned 30 with a predictable level of fanfare (i.e. barely any), although we did tour the Galleries of Justice (Reputedly one of the most haunted places in the country. It would certainly be a rather spooky place to find yourself in the evening, I must admit!) and see Nottingham from on high (we’ve temporarily acquired a stonking great big wheel in the town centre, which gives amazing views across the city) on the day itself.
I’m still knitting, of course - I’ll spare you the multiple upload (you’ll have to find me on ravelry.com for that), but here’s a couple of recent projects:

Yarn: Hipknits Merino Sock in “Chocolate Cherries”, Pattern: ‘Yarn Over Cable’ from Sensational Knitted Socks.
So soft. Sooo soft. Between the raspberry ripple colours and the softness of the yarn, this has proved rather like knitting with and wearing warm ice cream, if that makes sense. It does to me, anyway!

Yarn: Sublime Kid Mohair in “Vellum”. Pattern: ‘Muse’ from the Very Gorgeous Sublime Kid Mohair Book
