Bit of a hodge podge today. Featherweight is finished and blocked, pics to come.
\nI started something new.
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI bought the pattern for Rogue<\/a> about six years ago. I figure it’s been aging nicely in the stash and is probably about ready to hit the needles. The yarn I’m using is Nundle Woollen Mills 8ply<\/a>. It’s marketed as an 8ply, but every time I’ve used, I’ve knit it at 18 sts\/4″ and been happy with the drape and density. Knit at 22sts\/4″, I find it a bit tight.
\nSo far, it’s all coming along swimmingly!
\nThe impetus for casting this hoodie on was the booking of the Bendigo trip for Ailsa<\/a> and I. Yes, we’re Bendi bound! Bendigo hosts the annual Sheep and Wool show<\/a> every year in July. Out flights, hotel and car are all booked. Excitement!
\nIn squishy mail excitement, the latest Needlefood<\/a> sock club package arrived on Friday.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe rumours that there may also have been lollies in the package will remain unsubstantiated. At least here. The yarn is called “There’s Flowers in my Salad!” I’ve not been into variegated yarns of late, but I really like this one! Now I just need to find the perfect pattern for it. And I’ll try not to let it marinate in the stash for six years!!
\nIn other news, Twinkie is so comfortable with the idea of being a showgirl that she sleeps in her feathers.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd the annual dance photos of the other showgirl arrived.
\n

\nI can assure you that the ability to do that didn’t come from me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
