Yarn Acquisition's
In the weekend as I've posted before I was going to the yarn store and made a few acquisition's on the weekend. I was super lucky I stayed two nights in the Hutt, and I got given a $10 voucher from Lincraft to spend the next day so I did!
I made some purchases from both Lincraft and my closing LYS.
This was my purchases from the weekend (as you can see I did start using one of the balls of pink then stopped because I didn't like what I was doing with it.)
I got a little bit of everything, needles, thread, cotton wool, 8ply, 4ply, DK. I am very excited to get cracking with these though. Most of these are for the July project. I have been emailing back and forth with the challenge director, and I am super excited.
I've got something up my sleeve for those threads with knitting that I can't wait to try!
My FO Luna's Lullaby
There's still some major editing to do on it before I upload the pattern, I have to figure out how to keep the edges from tilting like that. I've already got a few ideas written down plus this isn't quite big enough for a baby blanket although it is for a prem baby so I maybe I will do an edging for it. Who know's, but it's a part of the creative process so anything could happen!
Current WIP
So you know how I said I was going to do a Cowl in July?? Hmmmm..... Maybe I will have to change that to something else or knit a second cowl??? I am terrible.... I swear I get so excited about something new and just jump straight in. This is the first ever cowl I have ever knitted, and the pattern called for a gauge swatch, but I didn't do that.... Which means this cowl could possibly, maybe be a failure. But I don't think so... I like it :)
I Joined Another Knitting Challenge!
Also, I can't believe it! But I joined another challenge! Like I don't know how I am going to find the time to do TWO challenges in July, to be fair I thought it said 24th June, so I was like sweet that will keep me going until July as it's a 5 day challenge, but no I read it wrong and now I've signed up for TWO challenges.
5-Day-Sock-Challenge I am super excited. Dana Gervais has created this FREE challenge in which there will be tutorials on how to knit a sock from the toe-up. Which if you are a #SockVirgin like me then you will be pleased to know about this challenge. I am looking forward to starting this challenge, I've never knitted socks before so I thought this would be just perfect! There is also a facebook page you can join as well called #SockVirgin.
