Tempest is finished, and has been blocked.
I love blocked stocking stitch, it always looks so neat! So now just the seaming and the bands to go. I’m not taking it to Canberra, finishing is too fiddly for a road trip, so I’ve started something new.
It’s Shimmer by Kim Hargreaves, from her newest book, Misty. I’m knitting it in Calmer, which I got from Jannettes Rare Yarns. Love calmer!
Hopefully I’ll be too busy to get anything done on it, though!
And in other news, I’m creeping up on 10,000 comments on the poor, neglected blog. So I’ve decided there’ll be a little give away to celebrate.
The person who leaves the 10,000th comment will get a project bag, and I’ll see if I can get my hands on a skein of Knitabulous yarn to go with it. I’m not telling how close we are to 10,000 just yet, but I expect to see it sometime within the next few weeks. Could be much closer than that, of course, but I’m not telling!
Can you teach me how to knit as fast as you??!! Wow!!
Oh Tempest, I wore mine today and I just love it!!! Yours looks lovely thus far!!!
love tempest – and I agree you are a very very very fast knitter.
I’m yet to knit anything by KH – I think it’s time i rectified that.
And 10,000 comments?! Wow. I hope I win! 🙂
You are such a prolific knitter! I saw Venezia on the Sticks and String blog. What a beautiful sweater and I really like your Shimmer, too. Pink, imagine that!
I love the pink of that calmer. Very soft.
Have a great time in Canberra, wont’ be going, way to sick still. Shimmer is looking nice so far.
I see a pink theme. Haven’t seen the Kim Hargreaves book yet, will have to check for it.
Have a good time.
I, too, loved the blocked look of knitting! Especially on lace!
I cant wait to see it finished. The new knit looks beautiful too.
The stall at the markets was lovely.
your tempest looks fabbo and I can’t wait to see it put together.
hope you survived the weekend ok. i cant believe youve already finished tempest. well i can actually, cos youre like that. it will look amazing on!
Congratulations on your market stall & I am sure you did well. Tempest looks great in those gorgeous colors.
So I didn’t see much blogging but I guess it’s only because you’ve been knitting!
Ailsa says that you were a trouper at Canberra , hope your head cold goes away soon . Tempest looks lovely.
Your knitting speed is unreal! I’ve been working on the same old boring socks for almost a month and my son will probably outgrow the sweater I’m knitting him before I finish it. Darn children and their needs seriously cut into my knitting time!;)
LOL I had to comment,..anyhow love the colour of tempest,still havent started mine ,have two other WIP to finish first,isnt it funny when you should not knit/spin ’cause theres study but you do and get heaps done as well as get the work stuff through as well!
I’ll have to keep following your blog and sending comments your way. Lovely Shimmer!
