<\/a><\/p>\nI am still really enjoying it, and it is lovely to be able to actually see progress! I am also really looking forward to wearing it, I think it will be a really useful wardrobe item and very comfy.<\/p>\n
The only problem is that I am becoming worried about the amount of yarn I will need. I bought 10 balls because that was what was available in the same dye lot, but I have just started the 5th ball, which means that the back used slightly more then 3 1\/2 balls. I think it will be very close as to whether I will have enough or not. I went down to the Interknit Cafe<\/a> yesterday just to double check that there weren’t any more balls\u00c2\u00a0left of the dye lot that I had got, but there weren’t. She had 4 balls of a second dye lot, but as she said\u00c2\u00a0this was a colour that she would keep in stock, and that whatever I get\u00c2\u00a0wont\u00c2\u00a0match the first dye lot I thought I would knit on for a bit until I have more of an idea of exactly how many extra balls I will need. If I am fairly\u00c2\u00a0close then I\u00c2\u00a0can just undo\u00c2\u00a0my tension swatch and\u00c2\u00a0use that yarn, or can use a different dye lot for the neck band. We shall see. It is\u00c2\u00a0strange how knowing that\u00c2\u00a0the yarn\u00c2\u00a0quantity is going to be a bit tight makes you knit faster \ud83d\ude42 I’m not convinced that quicker knitting is going to help!<\/p>\n On my way down to Farnham yesterday I dropped into Specsavers<\/a> in Guildford to pick up my new glasses. They are quite different to my last set and Paul is still getting used to them \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n First up, the more sensible pair:<\/p>\n And now the fun pair:<\/p>\n And finally, to make you smile on a wet Saturday, this is the most hilarious of the out-takes,\u00c2\u00a0and the reason that I really shouldn’t be allowed out:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
