My Second Honey Bee
I posted earlier this year that I was knitting a second Honey Bee sweater for Christopher. I finished this over the summer but unfortunately when he went to try it on it appears that he is sensitive to Alpacca (even this lovely Baby Alpacca) as he took it off straight away complaining that it was itchy.
So no photo's off him wearing it, I now need to decide what I'm going to do with the jumper - probably find a knitworthy small person it will fit.
I have also finished my latest pair of socks. These are Expresso Socks by Louise Tilbrook, knit in British Wool and Nylon in the Gaspode colourway by The Knitting Goddess. I somewhat surprised myself when I wore them for the first time and realised that I had managed to match the stripes without trying!
Rosie and I went on a yarny road trip to Yarndale last month. We both had a lovely time and spent our budgets!
I went shopping for yarn to knit the first four shawls in the Shawl Society by Helen Stewart of Curious Handmade. I got yarn from Five Moons Luna plus 4ply in Daughter of the Sea for the Talisman Shawl, Ripple Crafts Suliven in Heather and That'll be the coal for the Amulet Shawl, Whistlebare Yeavering Bell in Cherry Mallow, Minnow and Bog Orchid for the Quill Shawl and The Knitting Goddess St Kilda in Stac an Armin for the Asana Shawl as well as a cute project bag.
