I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Knitting Olympics - Day Three


Still only out in daylight, though I've moved on - temporarily - from the dreaded fuzz and onto something more sensible. Today I knit the bottom layer of ruffle and joined it together with the fuzzy top layer.
In view of some comments likening my little masterpiece to a grub of some kind (thanks Paulene!) today's photo shows the ruffle being elegantly modelled. The picture does not reveal the beautiful work put in today, since that is a second, unseen layer beneath the fluffy one. You'll just have to believe it's there...and you do, don't you?

I realise that I have strayed from the pattern...but of course, it WAS deliberate ;-)

Well done !
I'm begining to struggle, but I was having a major moment of madness when I decided to knit an Olympic jumper (in 4ply!!).
Glad to see a nearby knitter, I'm in the Wye Valley, overlooking the Forest. Off to Cheltenham Craft show on Saturday if you want to join me for a bit of knitting ...

Looking great so far.

Just think of your straying as a carefully considered design element, even if it was subconscious.
