goodies

I'm back. I have to say I've missed blogging, it's been well over a week.

I need to share my new treats with someone, and I've decided to share them with you.

After reading about Elizabeth Zimmermann on most of the blogs that I visit, I thought I'd treat myself to a few of her materials. Both The Opinionated Knitter and Knitting Workshop came from Amazon.com and Knitter's Almanac is from Ebay. They arrived just under a week ago, and can't (well won't) put them down. Hence I'm behind on my knitting, hey at least I'm reading about knitting.

Talking about knitting. I need to tell you something. What? You may be asking. Well, after knitting about 10 inches of Camellia in a finer yarn than recommended, I realised that I didn't like it in the finer yarn. What a waste of time. I'm going to try it again at a later date using a much thicker and heavier yarn.

Back to some knitting.

God Bless.

As promised pictures of what will be my Camellia Sweater .................

.........sorry that the pictures are so dark.

I will have to modify the pattern completely. The pattern calls for a bulky yarn and I am using Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora, but hey it is looking great so far. I will keep you updated.

God Bless.

decisions, decisions, decisions

Sorry for the delay with this post.

I have just started to make some progress with my new project - the camellia sweater. It has only taken me 12 days. I can't believe how often I changed my mind regarding this project. Not with whether I liked it or no, because I LOVE IT, but with what yarn to use. I must of started it at least 3 or 4 times and each time not being satisfied with the result. I tried starting another project which caused me so much grief that I finally decided to move back to the original project that I had in mind.

I'll post some pictures of my w.i.p before the end of this week.

God Bless. See ya.
