Why some people hate Kureyon sock yarn.
I am constantly pulling big knotted clumps of yarn out of the ball. ARGH! It is knitting up beautifully though:
Nothing else new to report, I've just been packing and sleeping! Move day is next weekend so we're nearly there...
I shall leave you with a pic of our first (and only) home-grown strawberry!
(I have to admit to cheating quite a bit with this - we bought the plant from Ikea 2 weeks ago.)
Your eyes do not deceive you. I have indeed been knitting!
Pattern: Shur'tugal by Alice Yu
Yarn Used: Malabrigo Sock in Solis
These got finished this morning...just as the weather is turning too warm for hand knitted socks! This will probably be my last project for a few weeks whilst I move flat. We found somewhere very lovely about 10 minutes walk from where we are now, on a nice residential street and with a little garden! Move day is in 2 weeks so I am currently surrounded by bubble wrap and cardboard boxes.
I have been sooo tired that finding the energy to organise and pack whilst doing normal things like cook and do laundry and go to work can be a struggle. I can't wait until it's all over with and I am sitting in the garden, sipping on a lemonade with my feet up and enjoying the sunshine!
Hello! Gosh it feels like ages since I last posted. Things have been mad in the house of indieknits lately. There is a reason why I've not posted much, knitted much, or generally done anything social for the last month.
I am pregnant!
It came as a bit of a shock so the news is still sinking in! We are very excited though. I'm currently at 7 weeks, so it's early days and I am still at the tired and sick stage. Thankfully I haven't actually been sick yet, so fingers crossed I'll miss out on that.
We will probably be moving flat in the next month or two - we're currently in a two bedroom flat but there are a few things we don't like about it (the area is very noisy, the windows seem to fill up with condensation as soon as the weather turns cold, I could go on but I shan't!) so we have our eyes peeled for somewhere else. In the meantime I am taking each day as it comes and trying to sleep and relax as much as possible. My low fat eating plan has gone out of the window (hurrah!) and I haven't missed alcohol one bit.
