Since Last Post





The twins arrived yesterday at 32 weeks, not sure how all is going. Called the hospital today and said best wait till the weekend before talking to my BF, obviously they can't disclose anything and I don't want to hassle her hubby as I'm sure his plate is full. So just waiting anxiously for hopefully good news

Getting Knitting priorities in order

I've been a bit over the place with projects (and generally I suppose) , Annis has been cast on 5 times without success. So have decided to start a pumpkin hat I have a request for. Another lady at work had previously requested I knit some baby stuff for a friend of hers. So last weekend dug out some baby patterns for her to peruse and took them to work. She then announced she was having her own little unexpected surprise. So more baby stuff to knit. She has inspired me to design something though, so excited about that , just in my head at the moment.

In addition my best friend is expecting twins at 47, so I think she has been on my mind a lot as very worried for her. She has to keep them cooking for another 5 weeks or so and has really had enough now. Given they will be a few weeks premmie and small thought I'd better get cracking on something for them as well. One little cardigan down and have started another, then will do some beanies  they might need in the hospital.

Spoilt myself with a Knitpro Interchangeable needle set, so now have to do some stuff to pay for them. Was originally going to get some Addi Lace Set. My LYS owner pointed out that Knitpro were cheaper and easier  to get parts for and this particular set had sizes 3mm to 6mm with all the sizes in between with 4 cords and cord ends and a few other extras. The tips should be sharp enough for lace. So it's pretty much what l will need for most projects I will do. I do love the symphonie wood and love my sock needle set. Did have a problem with one of the cords but no problem to exchange it straight away.

So that's me with my brain a bit in order for now
