Clinging to the Knits
These are the knitted things that have kept me going this week.
Yes indeed, that is not just a small bit of knitting, that is a small bit of knitting with a small bit of crochet attached and yes, the crochet is UNZIPPING! My provisional cast on actually undoing like it should. It wouldn't unzip last sock because I knit into the wrong bit of the crochet loop. This time round I looked at many pictures but it was still mighty tricky to tell which bit was the bump on the back for this non-crocheter. In the end I would knit a few stitches in, try and unzip, crochet a bit more, repeat until I felt sure I knew I was aiming at the right bit. For the record I tried and failed at both Judy's Magic Cast On and a looped cast on. Many times. Watch out though cast ons I'll be back. One day.
Here is a pile of of all the pieces of the Cabled Christmas Cardigan and right on queue here is a weekend in which to block them.
In the wearing and even the washing - so much comfort
In the creating - achievement in finally mastering a new technique

That cabled cardi looks fab...looking forward to seeing the finished article!
Hey... where'd that apple come from?
The cabled cardi is such a pretty colour... now step up, get it blocked and finished... :^)
Your rosy buns are very pretty... that sounded a bit 'odd', didn't it, you know what I'm talking about... I'll have to give that recipe a try.
(I love washing hand-knit socks. One of the most enjoyable things in the world. Even if I have to hand-wash them, which I usually dislike).
Look forward to seeing te cardi!
All the knits look good - have a happy weekend cuddling them all!
Can't wait to see the finished Cabled Cardigan :)
