Not much knitting today. It was the last day of the school holidays, so I took myself and Emily off across Sydney to the closest Lincraft.
\nI hadn’t read the Gigi pattern properly, and when I bought the yarn, I didn’t realise that the sweater only had 3\/4 sleeves. Seeing as I’m planning to wear this in winter, I decided I’d make the sleeves longer, but I wasn’t sure if I’d have enough yarn. What a wonderful excuse for return trip to Lincraft. \ud83d\ude09
\nSo I now have one more ball of yarn for Gigi, and can knit long sleeves without worrying whether I have enough yarn or not. And I also got some eyelash yarn and some pure wool to make a little felted evening bag off a free pattern leaflet that they had.
\nOddly enough, I couldn’t get a 3.25mm circular needle there. I wanted an 80cm (32″) one, but they only had them in a 3.5mm which is not a standard needle size in Australia. I didn’t get it, as I doubt I’d get much use out of it. I’ll just pick one up at the local craft store tomorrow.
\nHappy Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
