Well, there’s plenty in the wings, as usual.
The Anastasia socks are growing nicely. Here’s a pic from Sunday.
On Monday, I finally took myself along to a Knitters Guild meeting. I had no idea that the meeting would go for over four hours, but I finished the sock! Now I have one more to do before Mothers Day.
The Knitters Guild isn’t for me, I’m afraid. I’ve joined anyway, and I’m going to do the courses by correspondence. Although a four hour straight knitting marathon with morning tea every month might not be a bad idea!
My hedgehog is also coming along nicely, and no longer looks like a squashed frog (Once Angie pointed that out, it’s all I could see!)
He has fuzz now.
And the sweater I showed a glimpse of a few posts back is Em’s Deep Rib Sweater.
Working with a yarn at 16sts/10cm is far more rewarding than working with a yarn at 25sts/10cm! I’ve almost finished the back now.
The yarn is Patons Jet. Em picked the colour, but it’s a discontinued one, shade number 12. I hope I have enough! I bought 9 balls from Ozeyarn, (the last they had), then I got another 3 balls from eBay, but they were the wrong dyelot.
The Happy Spider had 2 balls of the right dyelot, so she agreed to swap with me, so fingers crossed that all will be well!
Why does the hedge hog have sticks coming out his hind end? He does look like a squashed frog!
Hi Donna, I have three balls lot number 750160, if its the same lot number as yours you are welcome to them. Nicole.

Looks like you made it through the “fun” fur part of hedgehog. Can’t wait to see him finished.
Ooh I love those little hedgehogs. Are they easy to knit up. I like the color Em chose too, and why do they always discontinue colors that we like.
Oh, can’t wait to see your hedgehog grow up. I too like the color Em picked out for her sweater.
I agree about joining a guild. I communicate & learn so much from my friends with blogs that going out for a long day or evening does not appeal to me either.
The Anastasia’s look fantastic! Its a satisfying pattern, isnt it?
Now that you mentioned, the hedgehog does look like a squashed frog in that position.. Lol.
The sock looks fantastic 🙂 just one thing I thought Em was knitting the sweater ? hehe
