SP8 and knitting updates




I've decided to sign up for SP (Secret Pal, for those less familiar with the term) at Knitty and this morning I received my spoilee's details. I've already started thinking of things to send, and she's got a birthday coming up soon, so I guess I'll have my first package on its way by next week! Knitting-wise, I'm making good progress on the clover wrap. I love girly knitwear, and this should be perfect to wear over a shirt or dress for spring and summer. Hopefully, it will turn out looking as nice as the picture :-)

Christmas knitting


I've finally finished the Sonnet -still not set in the sleeves, but I'll get to it eventually -and I had to start a new project straight away. Bought some yarn with money I got for Christmas and started working on a clover lace wrap cardie from S n'B Nation that I've been coveting ever since I got the book. So far I've finished both sleeves and I started the back yesterday. Can't wait to finish it...It's knit in a 4-ply cotton from Garnstudio in a light cocoa brown colour with a hint of lilac...it's gorgeous! Hmmm....already considering making another one in a different colour...
