I apologise for being such a terrible blogger - I seem to be able to think up all of these awesome, clever and witty posts in my head but whenever I get near a computer and log on they all seem to disappear. I partly blame my terrible blogging on ravelry, I'm sure you all understand and also on my missing camera cable as what's a post without pictures?
Knitting wise I'm now in the swing of my Febuary Baby Sweater, the bodies done and I'm 3/4 of the way through one sleeve, but it gave me some nightmares to begin with, first I didn't swatch and just used some Cleckheaton Merino Supreme I had in my stash since I'd subbed it for another pattern that used worsted and got the same guage so it would be OK wouldn't it? Ummm..........NO! Half way through the body I actually looked it it and went OMG! It's big enough to fit a six year old! Then I measured guage - I was off by a stitch and over 140 stitches it ends up being 7". So I put that aside (it looks to pretty to frog at the moment) and cast on in some Lincraft Bamboozle, which feels lovely knitted up and has a lovely drape but IT IS THE SPLITTIEST %@$$%$@%$$ YARN I've ever used so I won't be touching it again.
The next thing I'm onto is my tea-cosy for the ravelry swap, I've bought the yarn and I keep staring at it with my fingers itching to cast on but ......must...finish....baby....sweater....first........
