off to Port Seton again to meet up with the ladies, armed with some shortcake and knitting magazines to swap around.(I'm making good progress on the baby blankie for Burundi.)
This week I was chatting to C who embellishes handtowels with the prettiest crochet, for sale at the November coffee morning/sale of work. She is a very gentle lady who nursed her mother through a long illness until she passed away; I imagine she would be a wonderful nurse as she is always patient and kind, cheerful and gentle. She is a lovely soul and a delight to talk to.
She found some lovely slipper patterns in one of the mags (it might have been Knitting) and wondered if she should make some for the sale- & everyone immediately asked for a pair! Her work is so lovely I'm sure that she would make the toastiest slippers.
J2' first Knucks glove is almost finished (except for the tattoos). Lining up the finger tubes was very complicated the first time- three tubes have to lie side by side on two parallel needles then the index finger is joined in . I'm not sure what the advantage is in doing it this way, and I probably would have found it less frustrating if I didn't have a glass of wine beside me at the time! Ahem!
However the glove does feel very smooshy & soft (I lurve this baby alpaca!) and the second glove will no doubt be easier than the first.
