I can’t believe it has been nearly three months since I last posted. I have been to three workshops since then, all of which have been very interesting and I will write more about them soon. Unfortunately also work has been very busy and I have been over-doing it rather and have been very tired which is my excuse for the lack of blogging. My shoulder and neck which were a problem back during the knitting Olympics (no I still haven’t finished! I’m afraid I got a bit side-tracked) has got worse and I have been going to physio, which has improved it a bit but it is still a problem and can make knitting for long periods a bit painful. It’s not so much the knitting which is the problem as the sitting.<\/p>\n

On a more jolly note, I had a nice outing to the newly opened Stash Yarns<\/a> in Putney this morning which was very good fun. Nice staff, lovely yarns, great magazines and books, air conditioning, what more could a knitter ask for? I was really very restrained and only bought the following, and some magazines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Here we have some lovely royal blue Koigu, some Colourmart cashmere in Kingfisher (which is going to become the Icarus shawl in the Summer Interweave Knits I think), and two balls of Meilenweit mega boots stretch. <\/p>\n

It was lovely to actually see a lot of the yarns I have only heard people on knitting lists talk about, or seen on the internet. For some reason I hadn’t realised that Mission Falls cotton was so textured, it wasn’t quite my thing but I think my Mum would like it. She is actually down visiting my sister at the moment but as my sister is getting married tomorrow she couldn’t really spare Mummy for a knitting trip today – maybe next visit. I really liked the Blue Sky Alpaca yarn and the Handmaiden Seasilk which everyone has been raving about. I will have to have a little think about what I can do with it before I go in to get some. I drooled over the South West Trading Bamboo again too, I absolutely love the purplexed colourway, but I still haven’t had any ideas what to make it into, answers on a postcard please!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
