The girls have both started knitting projects that involve knitting in the round on circular needles, I wish I had discovered circulars sooner than I did and now that I know how to use them, I love knitting with them, even if it is a straight, flat project, I still use my circulars…
The boys rediscovered the sand pit again this week, and now that the continuous rain has abated for a while, we have been having lovely days in the sun knitting and playing in the sand…
I’ve been posting off yarn this week too, thank you to all those who ordered Merino yarn:) Your parcels are all on their way across the ocean from sunny South Africa…
Journey Knitting,
This is what I have decided to call this knitting project. It has been inspired by
Amanda who blogged about knitting up all your left over yarn into a blanket. I have named it journey knitting because I know that this project
will take months for me to complete and that is just fine because the journey I will take while completing it will be an interesting one I am sure… The finished item is going to be wonderfully soft and warm, but the process of knitting it is going to be lovely. I am knitting it on really long
knitpick circular needles, I love these needles and just had to buy a set… They are pricy and I see them as an investment that I will use for the rest of my life, their joins are so smooth, aaahhh they are things of beauty:)
Does anyone have a journey knitting project that they are busy with at the moment, I would love to hear about it, link to it in a comment if you do and we can all see your knitting journey…
Today I sat under the Oak trees in their shade and started knitting up these little easter chickens, they will soon be in the
shop for Easter shopping:) They are knitted in the softest Mohair yarn… Today is also a slow, relaxed day, I had a molar removed yesterday and I am feeling
really tender to say the least… The perfect opportunity to quietly sit and knit wouldn’t you say?
Soon to be in the shop…
Aah, when I saw the juxtaposition of colour here, I had to grab my camera, I just love the green from the Oak tree and the maroon from the Ornamental plum…
I will leave you with this last photo of a Crested Barbet, this is a female and she was flying around with her little one and stopped by for a snack from our bird feeder. Their colours are amazing…
