Knitting, New Tools and New Yarn

1   I finished a new project today, using a new technique I learned while with my Sister-in Law in Atlanta, Georgia. I had to revise cable stitch and learn three needle cast-off – all very satisfying and I put the little hat in the post today for Grand-baby B.

2   My SIL taught me how to knit in the round – previously I had changed all patterns to flat knitting –  and she lent me her interchangeable needles to get me started on the little pants that I made for my Grand-nephew and which I posted about here. While we were away in Hawai’i, a set of interchangeable needles with brass connectors was delivered for me on my return.

3   In Truro this afternoon, in my favourite shop, Truro Fabrics, I had the usual friendly and professional help and now have some beautiful cashmere merino yarn for a very special secret project which I shall start tonight. You’ll see it when it’s done! I am a very happy bunny with a new project to work on!
