When the camping gets wet, the knitter gets knitting.

Ok. Enough already about the camping.

I did manage to get some stuff done though – as you can see.

1. nutkin, 2. firestarter, 3. noro, 4. neck thingey

1. I worked through Nutkin – should be finished soonish.
2. Finished one firestarter – improvised my own cuff pattern though. Can’t say the second sock will be the same though.
3. Elin and I had a little swap and I got some Noro sock yarn in the colourway I had knit with before…..it arrived as we were leaving to go away – it had to come with me.
4. This looks weird(er) in this photo – but better in real life. A bit of a play with the crochet hook and some lush silk/merino.

All in all I am happy with the progress although I hear many projects calling their names very very loudly and I don’t know how long I can keep them at bay. These include

1. Jeanie
2. Entrelac socks (I linked to Domesticat because it was this pair that inspired me)
   
3. Kaela’s cardigan – a pattern yet to be chosen “but not one with holes in it” (me thinks that means not crocheted)
4. Shibui knits something – LOVE that yarn.
5. Must work up the courage to start the Habu Projects – want to do them – can’t seem to make a start.

I am still totally obsessed by the crochet thingey and discovered this FANTASTIC ebay seller that offer wonderful Japanese books – with FREE POSTAGE WORLDWIDE – knitting/crochet/zakka etc. The books are in Japanese but have such wonderful picture directions – so easy to understand. Needless to say I have put a few more into my “cart” to come and live at my house.

1. crochet, 2. crochet, 3. crochet, 4. crochet

Tomorrow I shall share the wonderful day I had today…..with 4 other bloggers, lots of cake, lunch and coffee.  And knitting.
