Still Knitting

Well, Percy is all knitted up. I just have the unenviable task of putting all of this together!

At least the strap of doom is complete. I do need to give it a little block first, I reckon. Nothing too spectacular. With a little bit of steam, methinks. I just need to find my iron first ... I have decided that as wonderful as cotton can be, I am not a big fan of it. I think I will make it all up next weekend. I don't want to do anymore of it today.

It took me ages to find some suitable lining for it. Hobbycraft had nowt, John Lewis had nowt (they did have a really nice, helpful assistant, though) and as a last resort before internet I tried Dunelm Mill. They had lots of different options and I purchased 3 pieces of fabric. However, the snowflakes win.

Summer of Socks 2008 started yesterday. I have knit no socks by today. On the Ravelry group, people have already finished their first socks. Not me. I haven't lifted my DPNs. I may start a sock tonight. I haven't decided. I quite fancy crocheting something. No idea what. Or toy knitting. I am in a bizarre, possible startitis mood.

I think some delicious scones and homemade (not by me!) lemon curd may aid my decision.
