Needles Galore

Look what my auntie gave me.


lots of needles. 

All of her old knitting needles. She doesn't knit any more.

I got bored of the Knitter's Bible cushion and I still can't figure out the Rebecca Pale Blue Jacket pattern, so I started my Petticoat socks. I'm really liking the colours. It's knitting up a lot quicker than the first pair of socks I made, thankfully.

At some point in my life I hope to go to Glastonbury, but at the moment I glad I haven't gone this year!


slightly wet Glastonbury! 

Faster than the Speed of Light

I ordered some more fun knitting stuff from Get Knitted. I ordered it on last Wednesday and it came two days later, on the Friday. I got some more Opal Sock yarn in Petticoat and Knitting magazine. I'm not that sure if I like the Knitting magazine, there was only really liked the pattern for the top on the front cover, but I do love the colour of the Opal Petticoat, it's really pretty.

No progress has been made on the Rebecca PBJ. I've had a go with a bit of spare cotton glace, but I've haven't got very far. I've mostly been knitting the pieces of the Knitter's Bible cushion, which is coming on nicely.

Ready to rumble.

All pieces of Peppermint Twist are present and correct(I think), so all I have to do now is put it all together. Which should be interesting. Instead of casting off you slip your stitches on a stitch holder, for when you knit the neck band, So I'm not really sure how to go about it. Any ideas?

So, I ordered the GGH yarn to make the Pale Blue Jacket from Get Knitted at the end of March and it finally came at the end of last week, through no fault of Get Knitted, I have to add. They didn't have the colour I wanted in stock so they had to order it from Germany, it took forever. I think I emailed Sue at Get Knitted every week to see if there was any news, she was really helpful, I think was as frustrated as me. Anyway it's here now and I've done my swatch, got the right tension and cast on, now I'm trying to figure out the rest of the pattern and I think with this pattern I might be in over my head, but I've waited so long for the yarn to make it, I'm not going to give in that easily.


Yarn for PBJ and a little bar of soap that came with my order.
