After expending all my energy at the pool and the gym last week
I’ve been lying low this week – for no reason what so ever
Just feeling a bit down and out of sorts
There were pleasant mornings spent on the deck
or pottering very quietly in a very dismal parched looking garden
A few weeds found their way into the bin
Followed very closely by the now very dead heads of all the Agapanthus
Once it warmed up I moved into the cool of the house
I profess to enjoying the heat but in actuallity
I sag a bit these days when it gets near to 30c/86f 😦
So to keep myself busy I’ve been clicking away with the needles
determined to move more of that yarn stash in the garage
I’ve mentioned KOGO a few timesÂ
and thats where these very simple baby woollens are destined to go
So so easy to knit, the sleeveless ones (above)
are crafted by joining the two fronts and knitting the back down from there
Â
So inspired by Jenny who writes at My Life In Flip Flops and this old cable pattern, utilising the same over the shoulder principle I started to work on an idea I had in my mind
Pen – Paper – Lots of scribbled notes – Lots and Lots of counting later
This is the result
So far – so good
Just a few more cables, followed by the ribbing and the back is finished
Neck comes next – then I’ll join the sides
Wanting something with a boyish look I originally thought of a vneck
but changed to the buttoned front opening instead
Should be finished by the end of the week
Then it is on to some other ideas I have for a load of bright coloured wool
Boat Necks and Fair Isle (another love of mine) will feature prominently 🙂
I tell you – once I have an idea in mind there’s no stoppping me
The Golfer wonders why it doesn’t happen where household duties are concerned
Silly man – his mind obviously works differently to mine 😦
How does your mind work?
Do you always follow the instructions as written
or do you find a need to change them now and again?
