I’ve been seriously neglecting the blog, haven’t I? I’m sorry, really, but I’m having difficulty with having only 24 hours in each day!
\nIt’s Saturday, so let’s start with sky.
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI love those little wispy clouds. Spring has sprung, right on time. 25C yesterday, and 27C today, so I heard. I love Spring!
\nWhat else do I love?
\nZephyr.
\nAnd lookee what I got my hands on this week.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAilsa<\/a> and I split a nice big Zephyr order. I’m in lace heaven. Thats a half pound each of Ladyslipper, Plum and Blueberry, and a pound of White.
\nRoughly 15,000 yards of laceweight. I’d better start knitting.
\nWell, I would, but I started Cece<\/a> instead.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s a great knit. The lace pattern is an 8 row repeat, and isn’t too hard to follow. Im using Cascade Sierra<\/a> in black, from Yarns Online<\/a>. It’s a nice yarn, 80% cotton, but with 20% merino wool, which lessens the crunchiness of the cotton, and gives it a little bounciness.
\nI got stitch gauge on the recommended needles, but the row gauge is off, and may need some recalculation. However, I will do my best to knit blindly and follow the pattern, rather than resort to the dreaded maths!
\nTwinkie has lived with my yarn for nearly 3 years now, and has never shown any interest in it whatsoever. Until now.
\nI went out yesterday morning, and made her come inside the house before left. She didn’t want to come inside, she was quite happy, playing in the yard in the Spring sunshine.
\nSo she got me back.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nShe dragged the plastic bag with the Sierra in it out of the knitting basket, ripped it open and did her best to kill a skein. Fortunately, it’s fine, it just has a little added bunny hair now.
\nMust start hiding the yarn from the bunny when she’s cranky.
\nAnd in other b-i-g news, we signed the papers on this today.
