This is the first time I&#8217;ve worked with the Lorna&#8217;s Laces, and I<i> lurve<\/i> it! I&#8217;ve got a nice little collection of it now, and it&#8217;s beautiful yarn to knit. I see many LL socks in my future.<br \/>\nThis is the progress on my Mondo Cable tank.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mondocable.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/mondocable.jpg\" width=\"356\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThe colour in the pic is way off. It&#8217;s a much brighter colour, a lot prettier than this. This pic makes it look very washed out. I&#8217;m enjoying knitting this, too. The yarn is a little slippery, but overall it&#8217;s not bad. The pattern is easy to follow and nice to knit, as is usual for Bonne Marie!<br \/>\nYes, my nails are long! Well, actually they used to be longer \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nThey are my sole indulgence (Well, apart from yarn!) And for all the people who asked how I work with them &#8211; I have had them for so long, they are like an extension of my fingers. Honestly, if I break one, I can&#8217;t do a thing. They are no problem in my knitting or my sewing, and as for housework? Well, I try not to do any. \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nJust for <a href=\"http:\/\/nownormaknits2.typepad.com\/now_norma_knits_2\/\">Norma<\/a>, I&#8217;m going to grow them even longer now, and paint them red! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas is madness.
