Yarn Mistrys

I’ve been tagged by Put a Sock in it to reveal 7 or 8 (depends on whose blog you read) random facts about myself. I’m behind with all things Internet, so I apologise for not getting around to this sooner.

We spent Sunday at Ollie’s Parents down in Somerset and on the way home we saw a lovely rainbow! I could see both ends! Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera handy, otherwise there would be a lovely piccie here.

On another rainbow-ish front, I have finished one of the Multi-coloured socks. [...]

Knitting in the Mistry Household is progressing quite well. As you can see from my WIP list on the side, I’ve added more projects to work on. Unfortunately, I have added only. There has been replacements for the finished Wicked and Rusted Root, but there have been additions that are not replacements. [...]

I found, when I put the sleeve stitches on spare yarn, that I had too many stitches on the needles.  What I found I was doing was making an extra stitch after the lace panel.  I read the instructions and re-read [...]

Apologies, firstly, for promising piccies of WIP’s and then not delivering. Life has been a little manic lately.
