Work on the Sienna cardigan has come to a crashing holt - I've managed to misplace the sleeve I am working on. Last seen on Sunday just before I left home to go to the Royal Albert Hall. I'm hoping it is somewhere in the flat and not lost. I remember switching handbags for my night out but can't visualise if I packed the knitting or not.
I think I'll stitch the rest of it together, knit the bands and collar and then hope that either the original sleeve turns up or that I have enough yarn left to knit a third sleeve!
The night out was great. Mum and my sister Kate joined Matt and I to see the Cirque de Soleil. Kate had managed to book us into a box and we had a fantastic view of all the trapeze work. As a child when we went to the circus I always wanted to be one of the girls who rode on the elephants. I think I recognised even then that there was no way I could reach to the dizzy heights of the trapeze.
The yarn from Liberty's was of the Jaeger EFM variety - 2 lots of 2 packs of chunky in Loam and Auburn and 2 packs of Aran in Passion. Nothing planned as yet but a few ideas bubbling under.
There has been quite a bit of discussion in the blog world about sock clubs recently - so much so that even I started looking at them! I decided I like the idea of a small package of yarn arriving each month so have signed up for The Yarn Yard .
Not wanting to wait for my first official package I also ordered a couple of other bits which arrived yesterday.
The yarn may well become the basis of my xmas knitting as this year I plan to start early and have bought a copy of One Skein Wonders to help me achieve this!
Finally a photo of the first finished (and already most worn) item of 2007
I am resisting the sock club for now, though I did check that one out and love those needles.
Your hat is gorgeous.
I adore that hat!
Oh, the idea of yarn arriving every month is so tempting... I may find myself joining some sort of yarn club after we get our taxes and pay off some medical bills. *grumble* stupid medical bills *grumble*
What are you going to knit up with the new yarn?
