Taking a little time out over lunch to blog - I have posted up some pics of one recently finished piece (the Lace Kerchief, from a back issue of Yarn Magazine in Fyberspates silk), and the Simple Pleasures Hat (free pattern from the Purl Bee) in cashmere and Kidsilk Haze (thanks Susan for the KSH!).
We leave for a much needed two week break tomorrow, to Scotland as is usual for us in summer, but this time we are also taking in Wales and Devon/Cornwall. I am hoping to slip in some visits to yarn shops along the way - googling found me k1 and of course the McAree Bros in Edinburgh, and a couple of potential possiblities in Glasgow.
Ah, but what to take as holiday knitting - I have nearly finished all of my finishing, so just dad's vintage socks to take, but with half a sock to do that won't take long, so two knits that could do with reworking are coming along - the Central Park Hoodie (knitted rather niaively in a silk/linen blend - it stretched) for a bit of surgery on the cuffs, and the Thick and Thin cardigan coat, again, for a reworking of the cuffs. If I can't make them work this time, then they are for the textile recycling bin!
On my one current and recently started project (Teva Durham's Filet Patch Blouse, thanks to Stash and Burn for the suggestion) - both yokes are now done, and I am swatching for the body.
