On The Needles In October

When I was in Nanaimo BC in September, I made
my way into a sweet little yarn shop-Mad About Ewe
where the very kind staff set me up with a project for
the ride home.

I bought the softest wool- Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted
and I am in LOVE with the stuff !
It's glorious to work with and I'm having fantasies about
wrapping my soon to be completed scarf around my neck.
Soon to be in the works are a hat and gloves. Told you I was in
love with the stuff!

Almost done :)

The other project I've got going on is a bit more painful.
I'm knitting a baby kimono out of an acrylic yarn.
I love the colour but the feel is not as soft and my poor
fingers are sore from the smaller needles and difference
in texture. It will make a good outer wear sweater though
so I shall carry on!

I've completed one front side and am working on the second.
It's easy work but time consuming, all those tiny stitches and
I'm going to make sure that my next knit project is in something
chunky!

I may have to give my poor arms a break though and chose a
non knit project but that's OK because I have an idea list a mile
long I swear...Happy Monday!
