A Noisy Skirt
Amazingly I finished the skirt and I am reasonably happy with the result. The fit is pretty good but I rather wish it was lined. I have noticed that not many of the patterns I like the look of (i.e. the easy ones) have lining, perhaps this is something I need to master, I will have to do some googling on the subject. Anyway, I am getting so in touch with my machine that I have been discovering a whole new area of blogs which led me to this. This is a lovely blog and seeing that skirt I immediately hotfooted it off to Miss Twiss for my very own pattern, can't wait to get my hands on it.
I am still knitting and have a finished Arabella which is just patiently awaiting a tie cord. I cast on this baby tank top from a few days ago, using the Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino. It is a quick knit and I like the yarn, the cables have been quite sucessful which is surprising since the last time I cabled was when I was a student with a penchant for knitting ill-fitting sweaters well out of my skill zone with a carefree attitude towards gauge and pattern directions. This is turning out so cute that I plan another one right away and it may well become my standard boy baby gift, it will make a change from the little sweaters I normally make.
Look, cables!
The weather seems to have settled into gloomy drizzle, hence the lousy photographs, and it really feels quite cold in the house which of course means we need chocolate, a batch of chocolate chip cookies was quickly conjured. These are flatter than normal, perhaps something to do with the level of 3ry old intervention? Still, I tested a couple and I'm pleased to say the flatness does not appear to affect taste at all. Perhaps I should test another now, just to be sure there is no delayed reaction......
