A progress report of my attempt to be more focussed.<\/p>\n

Here is the plan, with updates:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Finish the cabled orange socks \u2013 deadline 1st September. Still on the first sock<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Frog the fair-isle hat
    \n<\/del>Done. Yarn is reskeined and ready for a bath<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Knit socks for sock sniper<\/li>\n
  4. Make gradual progress on the cotton blanket and the mitred square scarf, while at the same time\u2026<\/li>\n
  5. Knit on the swirl. I’ve realised this makes good tv knitting, so I’ve been knitting this instead of the socks. I’m on welt 5 of 64.<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. Mid-September (maybe) start the Catkin KAL. Probably later than mid-September, since neither Beth nor I have the yarn yet.<\/em><\/li>\n
  7. Make knee-length socks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I had a go at plying some of my spindle-spun handspun the other day. It looks like real yarn (and I even added it to my ravelry stash).<\/p>\n

    \"Yarn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Let’s be honest, this is heirloom yarn and will never be knitted. I’ve been watching my spinning dvd, which has lots of good tricks about plying well and managing a wheel, but doesn’t start early enough in the process for me to feel much more confident about using the wheel. Still, I’m learning more.<\/p>\n

    Here’s my current travelling project.<\/p>\n

    \"Trillian\"<\/a>

    Just enough pattern to keep me interested, but simple enough to memorise the pattern.<\/p>\n

    I rather like the york stone paving slabs in the garden as background to knitting photos. What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
