Hello!

Hello internet! We have a problem. We, here at Casa Del Random.
We need to do something about our Broadband account. Every month we use up all our bandwidth, and every month it happens earlier and earlier. We are in the process of doing something about it, but apparently none of the various telecommunications/broadband companies want our money.
But that’s why I fell off the internet. I have not been eaten by TAFE, but that’s another hardship I’m trying hard to endure.
You’re all here for the knitting though, not for my whining, so where was I?


The cap shawl is progressing nicely. Have I mentioned how much I’m loving these gradual colour changes? Seriously, they’re awesome.
I’ve now finished the boring bit in the middle, and there’s a little bit of action happening where the “Print of the Wave” pattern is beginning. You can’t really see it yet, but it’s there!

The Firestarter socks are half done. I really, really enjoy knitting this pattern, and the Wollmeise is just perfect for it.
Because I was a little absorbed in my shawl and sock knitting, Sophie got to work on finishing Elijah’s ear for me.

I’m hoping she’ll pick up some colourwork next!
And I’ve been trying really hard to be good, but I got a tipoff last week that there was a rare Monday Wollmeise update.

Turkis, 2 x Hortensie, and Ballerina, all in 80/20 Superwash/Nylon. And it was a miracle that I stopped there. Although it appears that I’m currently going through a blue/purple phase.
