Well that was an unexpected little break, wasn’t it? Nothing dramatic, bandwidth issues, internet provider throttling, a bad cold that I’m now getting over, that sort of stuff.
\nHowever, while I was absent from here, there was plenty going on. Including the new sock package from the Needlefood<\/a> sock club!
\nA winner, again.

\nThe theme for this shipment was “Mid WInter Survival Kit”. There were winter warming essentials – hot chocolate, marshmallows, and chocolate to eat!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nStitch markers in the same colour theme, and a little zippered purse for them
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd the yarn is yummy.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe colour is “Red Hot Chocolate” I’m really enjoying the parcels from this sock club!
\nThere has also been knitting.
\nThe hoodie.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSleeves are finished now, and we have joinage!
\nDavid’s new scarf, the One Row Scarf.

\nGrowing nicely, and I finished the first “Rick” sock.
\n

\nA few issues with this. The pattern is great, but not really very stretchy, which caused a problem or two with my cankles. I only did 16 repeats of the leg pattern rather than 18, and they’re a little tight, but still wearable.
\nAnd the other thing I worked on was a February Teddy Sweater.

\nThe picture is a little deceptive, she’s much smaller than she looks – around 6″, I think. I made her for a friend’s special birthday, and she went off to celebrate and live with missfee<\/a>.
\nI fudged up the February Baby Sweater pattern on 2mm needles with the leftover Mama Blue silk laceweight from my Aeolian Shawl, and found some teeny tiny buttons at Spotlight. It grew a little when I blocked it, so it’s a little larger than I’d planned, but she looks very sweet, doesn’t she?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
