Still Knitting
Posted By Laura on June 22, 2008
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.
Love Percy, its on my to do list. The making up bit always puts me off though….
