New Year Knit.


Such a pretty pattern.
Started knitting on Sunday night, whilst watching Foyle's War, and have finished 4 complete patterns to date (though I hope to at least get one more done tonight, quite a few knitting hours left….)

New Year, first knitting project…. technically it’s the second, as the cardigan I started on boxing day followed into the new year (to be shown soon). But hay ho, lets just say it’s my first.
Unfortunately this project isn’t the one I wanted to start knitting first. Originally I had intended to knit a lacy 3ply cardigan, in a acid yellow, but do you think I could find the right pattern… no, I blooming well couldn’t, so that’s on hold until this elusive lacy knitting pattern appears into my possession. And to think out of all my knitting patterns, I cannot find perfection- several in two ply and hundreds in double knitting- just no 3ply.
So, in the mean time, I have bought some yellow crochet cotton (in readiness for the summer months) and have started a lacy jumper blouse instead.
It’s knitting up really nicely, if I do say so myself, and I can’t wait until it’s completed (some time to pass until that’s reality) as I have outfits and occasions planned already, don’t you know!

Nighty night all,
Must get back to the old knitting….

  1. Wowie zowie! I wish I could knit. I'll have to just be ok with my sewing for now. How long does it take you to knit?

  3. Thanks ducks,
    Lolita, it depends on what kind of mood I’m in when knitting, what yarn I’m using and the size of the needles used- this one will probably take some time to knit, maybe a month (?) because the yarn is equivalent to a 2ply and I’m using fairly small needles! To be honest I wish I could sew! Tups x

  6. That lace is amazing - you're such a great knitter, and that'll be a beautiful summer jumper.

  11. What a lovely pattern and super colour!
    I have to say I am really impressed, however do you watch TV at the same time as knitting a lacy pattern!
    If it was me by the Ad break I would be in a pretty pickle!
