Knitting

[wildeabandon]

I let my knitting fall by the wayside a bit when lockdown started, because I'd been doing most of it whilst on trains and buses, and that obviously wasn't happening any more, but I recently got a sudden burst of enthusiasm for it again. I finished the Freddie Kruger jumper I started knitting for hjdoom ages ago, which he seemed quite pleased with, as well as a couple of scarfs. One lacy wisp of pale purple mohair, which I failed to photograph before posting to its recipient, and one bright chunky affair, that I think will do nicely as a Christmas present for Ramona, a friend from church.


And of course finishing projects meant I was allowed to buy more yarn, because that's how it works, and I'm now turning some of that into some stripy rainbow socks for my Dad, and immensely enjoying watching the colours line up.

Ooo I love the colour contrast between the body of the scarf and the fringe.

I’ve also experienced a not-travelling-during-lockdown slow down in my knitting - I prolly need to work more on making it a thing I do while listening to podcasts and watching comfort-type telly....

Ooh the pretty! Agree on fringe

Self-striping yarn is SO satisfying. I made a Visitor Hat (for people visiting in the garden over this particular winter) back in Sept with the remnants of some yarn I originally bought for a jumper for L. In the jumper it came out all patchy (but in a perfectly good way), but the hat was just the right size for the stripes to match up properly. Very pleasing.

(Current knitting is all Christmas-present knitting...)
