I have a love and hate relationship to this #knitPro interchangeable Tunisian crochet hook.
I'm afraid it'll snap at the neck, and it is sharp. And it is the sharpness that causes the hate part, it catches the fuzz of the yarn in the hook way more then I'd like.
With blanket of the hook, I obviously can't just not start something new (well I cast on and did the first few rows weeks ago). #Poncho is the plan, simple pattern, made up of two rectangles put together.
Dropped into #bendigowoollenmills last week and found this gorgeous #variegated #purple 100% #australian #merino #wool #8ply #yarn. Being in the #bargain section, the three balls they had were it, and so not enough to make a #handknit #jumper (#sweater ) or #cardigan without playing #yarnchicken, so fell back to my default of #knitting #socks. Being so sidt, thick and #lush, they'll be perfect for my friend, Laura, who finds the bitter #chill of #winter in #Victoria almost unbearable.
They're knitting up very quickly on my #KnitPro #Zing #Interchangeables using #magicloop #2atatime (to avoid SSS - #SecondSockSyndrome) and the #fishlipskiss sock #pattern.
I suspect these will be the first of many I'll be knitting.
#today I'm packing up again. Bookshelves at the mo. There's mouse-shit beside them and behind them. I bet there some on these shelves too like the last ones.
Ohh loookkkk! Tubs of #wool. Must not get distracted. Aw but ... I got a new set of #KnitPro #KnittingNeedles in the post yesterday 😵💫
Must. Resist. Must. Resist.
