Well, it’s been a busy week at Casa del Random. Emily had a dance eisteddfod for most of last week, we spent Monday night, and most of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday sitting in a cold school hall. She did pretty well, and had fun, but I think I achieved more than she did!
\nIt’s prefect knitting time, except that it was a dark hall, they turned out the lights, and that meant I had to stick to plain stocking stitch. Luckily, Emily’s new sweater fits the bill perfectly. Day 1 I dropped a stitch, and had to rip back 10 rows when we got home, but apart from that, it was all good. How good?

\nAll done, ready for blocking and seaming! I finished the knitting up on Saturday night, assisted by my new and very cute stitch marker.

\nHow cute is that?!?
\nThe sweater is in the bathtub right now, preparing for blocking.
\nSaturday was the opening day of the Wollongong Stitch n Bitch exhibition. After two weeks of rain, the weather gods smiled upon us and the sun came out. It was a gorgeous day, but unfortunately, I failed to take the camera out of my bag even once. Great weather, great company, knitting, what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?
\nYesterday we took advantage of the continuing good weather and went to the Fish Markets for lunch, then had a wander around the city. And I started something else.

\nSocks for David, in Opal 6ply. No pattern, just 56sts, 3 x 1 rib on 2.75mm needles. I’ve worked out that if I knit a pair of socks a month, and don’t buy any more sock yarn (as if!), it’s only going to take me four years or so to use up my sock stash.
\nThat’s not long. Maybe I should stock up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
