Knitting news

I recently bought some yarn from a store in the US
called Webs and they have a fantastic
range and great prices too.

They offered a wide selection of yarns that
I hadn't seen here before and they had a huge stock to
select from, great prices too!

This is a cowl - a free pattern on Ravelry.
It's progress is slow as it's a very fine wool, soft and beautiful
to work with and has a little bit of silk in it.
It's a grey blend and is rather lovely.

Another cowl - I seem to have a 'thing' for them
and it is also another free pattern on Ravelry.
It is a much thicker yarn and knitted on bigger
needles, hence much greater progress.
This is after four sessions of "The Block".

I do enjoy knitting - easy, portable, soft, fun.

I miss quilting though...

  3. Knitting is really relaxing, but with sewing/quilting it is so much quicker!
