Thank you all for saying such nice things about the baby shawl. Still no sign of the sun in Sydney, so it hasn’t been blocked yet. I was hoping to give it to DH’s mum (who is having a flying visit this weekend) to take back, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
\nI started my bag. Chunky cables after fingering weight lace feels funny \ud83d\ude42
\nHowever, I didn’t do a swatch. It calls for an 8mm needle. Somehow, I don’t have an 8mm circ, but I figure that I always knit loose and have to go down a needle size anyway, so I just cast on with a 7mm.

\nGuess what? My gauge is off, I need an 8mm needle.
\nI don’t knit with a lot of chunky yarns, so I don’t often use larger needles. But I went ahead and ordered an 8mm Addi from STYK<\/a>. As it’s a bag, the gauge isn’t important really, however, I’m nearly half way through and I hadn’t even used half a ball of the Lambs Pride Bulky, and the bag is on the very<\/em> small side. So I figured I’d prefer it a little larger anyway, so I’ll wait until the new needle comes.
\nSo what do I start now?
\nI’m sure I’ll think of something!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
