Came home to find that Rowan Book 36 had arrived! We went out to dinner with our friends Charlie and Andy who were visiting from Cornwall – Charlie has a job interview in Cardiff tomorrow – so I’ve only been able to look at it since we got back. Looks interesting so far. I like one of the cardigans that’s made from Silk Haze and Kid Silk. Reminds me a little of the scribble lace that Debbie New does and also the Loopy & Luscious Scarf from Knitty.
Poncho – Thanks for the tips left in the comments. In the end I decided to frog it. It’s not going to have tassles and is too lacey and open for a seam to go unnoticed. I usually start large circular projects off on two needles as that way I’m less likely to twist the cast on. Then I revert to one circular needle.
Normally I cast on to one needle and then divide the stitches up. But this time for some reason I decide to add the second needles in the middle of casting off. As a result I twisted the cast on, again and had to frog, again! I was so angry with myself.
So I’m now casting on for the third time. Let’s hope that the third time’s the charm! 🙂
Oh, and tomorrow I’m going to Jeni’s. I can’t wait to see her spinning wheel, cats and stash! 🙂
