On a Saturday. Wonders will never cease!<br \/>\nThis felt like the first time I&#8217;d actually taken the time to look up the sky in days. I&#8217;d noticed some really pretty clouds on the way home, but I didn&#8217;t have the camera. This was all that was left by the time I got home.<br \/>\nTwo and a half days spent at a dance comp again. Thankfully, this is the last one until the end of August.<br \/>\nThursday night at the comp, I finished Elbac. The last few rows were nail biting.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image018.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/Image018.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThat little bit of yarn? That was all I had left. Ten rows before the end, I was sure I wouldn&#8217;t make it, but I knit on hopefully, and made it. Barely. Sorry for the mobile phone picture.<br \/>\nI have this wonderful digital camera, and I forget to take it out with me, all the time. At least the mobile phone has a camera I guess, even if it is kinda crappy.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_2597.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2597.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThe finished scarf, unblocked. Another crappy picture. Will block it and take a better one.<br \/>\nSo I finished the scarf on Thursday night, and that left me with nothing on the needles, except the Shetland Shawl. And I can&#8217;t take that to a dance event. Seriously, I&#8217;d ruin it completely in the first five minutes.<br \/>\nSo what should I do?<br \/>\nStart something new!!<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2594.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2594.html','popup','width=950,height=713,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2594-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnd from the stash, no less!<br \/>\nThis is going to be a sweater for me. The yarn is the (sadly) discontinued <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yarndex.com\/yarn.cfm?yarn_id=314\">Cleckheaton Angora Supreme<\/a> in shade 05, an Aqua blue. The colour in the picture is not accurate, it&#8217;s actually a bit lighter and brighter.<br \/>\nFor the pattern, I loaded up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.software4knitting.com\/sweaterwiz.htm\">Sweater Wizard<\/a> and worked this out. I&#8217;m aiming for a tunic length deep V neck raglan in stocking stitch. I&#8217;ve used a cable rib for a bit of interest. So far, so good.<br \/>\nWe were at the event all day yesterday and most of today, so I got a fair bit done on it.<br \/>\nWe did escape for a little bit yesterday morning to meet up with <a href=\"http:\/\/2hot2knit.blogspot.com\/\">Lynne<\/a>. We met up at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-wool-inn.com.au:8080\/\">Wool Inn<\/a> in Penrith and went for a coffee. I didn&#8217;t buy any yarn!!<br \/>\nThe coffee was great though, and it was fun to meet Lynne. Thanks, Lynne!<br \/>\nAnd Em had another successful run.<br \/>\nThis weeks haul.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2595.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"100_2595.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/100_2595-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nShe didn&#8217;t win the big ballet award this week though.<br \/>\nShe won the big tap one instead.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/Image020.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/Image020.html','popup','width=668,height=850,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/Image020-thumb.jpg\" width=\"314\" height=\"400\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nAnyone want a trophy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday sky.
