I’m so excited

…but I have to hide it!

I’m currently working on several lovely projects.

• I have charts, linen fabric, gold needles and hand-dyed threads.
• I have patterns, local yarn, DPNs and circular needles.

I’m not making any Christmas surprises so there won’t be any sharing until after the occasions and that will be well into the new year.

However, I can show you this Australian-dyed yarn

Once the item’s dry, I’ll be able to share some photos and a truly heart-stopping moment! More soon…

WIP Wednesday – I haven’t knit anything this year

Well, that’s certainly a load of old cobblers! But… and yes, there is a but, according to that wonderful little tool KnitMeter I haven’t actually knit anything this year!

KnitMeter is a handy-dandy little widget that keeps track of exactly how much you’ve knitted – be it metres, yards or miles (gasp). I like to wait and enter my finished projects. This is very easy to do as Ravelry already converts balls and skeins into metres and yards. My profile shows at a glance how much I have knitted in years gone by (well since I started using KnitMeter and Ravelry).

There’s been a decided lack of Finish-It-Off and a whole lot of Start-Something-New going on but I hope to remedy that very soon. Looking at this lot of WIPs I have a project for every kind of knitting occasion!
